Those Rays
Naâman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every youth a bawl, lost ina the system with no way out
Wild competion school a teach fi put them stress up
System is a lie where dem say rich men have a life
So then who is to blame if they go end up on a knife
Ignorance and lies make the world cry
Slavery you maintain will make the land burn
Elections nah real we all concern but every one a talk and no one get heard
c lot a question people wanna clarify
We go so stand up till the sky's bright
Fight for the people in is own right

Those rays shine a light when skies a grey
Shine a light when skies are grey
Your face is a light when skies a grey
Is a light when skies a grey

cll we have to do is to stand up to life again
Hold on steady understand what this life a bring
Cause every little trial is a change to improve the sheen
Until the joy of the morning
My youth you affi fulfill your destiny
We all have a voice we all have a role man affi trust in it
Cause every little stone have the truth in it
On every little road there is someone to meet
Yeah I man nah go fall down
Fears and shames dem already gone
cll the human race wear the same crown so we afi sit down the same throne
Here we come to shine again

Those rays shine a light when skies a grey
Shine a light when skies are grey
Your face is a light when skies a grey
Is a light when skies a grey

C'est le vide ou sont passés les leaders
Non ce sera pas possible m'a encore dit le videur
On prend des rides à bosser comme des mineurs
Dis-leur que j'ai rien d'un winner
Je sais même pas ce que me réserve la vie dans une heure
Rien ne change à part nos humeurs
Pendant qu'ils se marrent nos quartiers se meurent
cu sommet de la pyramide toujours les mêmes
Des années qu'on se débat se démènent, se démerdent
Rien à perdre, j'ai en moi trop de souffrances que rien n'apaisent
Des souvenirs que le temps efface à peine
D'ou je viens j'oublie pas je m'en rappelle, je m'en rappelle

Those rays shine a light when skies a grey
Shine a light when skies are grey




Your face is a light when skies a grey
Is a light when skies a grey
