Believe system


Help me to remember the difference
Help me to recall my worth
Oh see me as I am running these miles
Help me to remember my home
Been gone for so long
Been running too long

I've been a slave to your system
In a distance land
I'll be coming home, don't you stop me now
I'll be going home, you all that I know
Back to Africa to you my love

A slave to the nation
Your mental malnutrition
Stuck in a system of lies and deceit
Oh who we are and what we have become
So close to God and yet we're so far gone
Now tell me was it your fault
when we were running hustling in a distant land
I know how it feels
Mental prejudice
Mental addition
So far gone that I lost my soul

I've been a stranger
In a distance land
I'll be coming home, don't you stop me now
I'll be going home, you're all that I know
Back to Africa to you my love
I'll be coming home, I'll be coming home
Back to Africa to you my love
I'll be coming home, you're all that I know
Back to Africa to you my love

My love, my love to you Africa
All my love to you
See, been hustling in a distant land
I don't see too much
I'm free, I'll be coming home
Prepare egusi, okro, stock fish for me
'Cause I been suffering too long

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
