Where I Am From

My home is my home But let me vomit these pains that is hidden in my heart Even stray bullets have found a place to hide secretly Cause my home is a crying ocean My home is a home But read these sad realities that sleep on our face Shining stars wait for the rain drop to bath While future leaders roll in the ghetto smoking their minds away My home is my home But come and see how we live here Lack of safe drinking water and good health system Sadly, we die every minute the clock ticks My home is my home But you've seen its people 'Teenage pregnancy' - the hottest competition Sex is less expensive - even 100LD can get you a couple of minutes My home is my home Guess I learn that in school They say: never forget the road that leads you home But mine has many potholes and cracks My home is my home Government has come and gone Yet my home is just the same home These thoughts keep cycling in my head My home is 'New Kru Town' I pray you make too many visits And see the torments and torture Cause my home is blown off
