Afryka
De Mono Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Przemoc jest wszędzie
Przemoc jest w tobie
Przemoc jest we mnie
Przemoc zawsze była
Przemoc zawsze będzie
Przemoc była w tobie
Przemoc była we mnie
Znasz prawa i zasady

Nic na to nie poradzisz
I sam z tym radę musisz sobie dać

Jeszcze przez wiele dni
Jeszcze przez wiele lat
Wszystko będzie miało gorzki smak

Zdrada jest wszędzie
