Missing you
Sweet Noise Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

...someone in the city baby...

Heart red hot the cold the night
Fear so near behind my back
Soul's on fire brain is dead
Shed a tear for blood we shared
For all the things you gave, thank you
For all the things
I've been missing you

Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you

Heart red hot the cold the night
The fear so near behind my back
The souls still fights
The brain is dead
I shed a tear for blood we shared
For women's cry
The truth that failed
Hunger took your child away
So the men they sucked your blood
Fear is back the cold the night
Fire fuse the flame explosion
Nations feel the blame
Corrosion
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Missing you...
Oooohhh

I shed my tears for you now
Let it be
I spill my blood for you now
Let it be

You're on your own my child now
Your pain to real to feel now
The world should be ashamed
Now
Whole world should be...

Yeah, yeah
Common
Beneath these big blue Afrikan sky's
Where the devil rapes slaves so the babies get aids
Crime pays in my neighborhood of clubs, drugs, hookers and thugs
Seven in a room attacked by an army of bugs

Kids never seen meat in a week!
And the job situation got a brother bare feet
But I keep on keeping on! Black man in the Motherland
Understand how to be strong!

I'm a southern guy blood running deep in the soil
Descending from kings and queens original
From Cairo to the Camissa, I'm in love with ya
But I had to leave to understand that my
Soul is connected to the bush and the jungle
From the roar of the lion to the beat of the
Warrior drum, feel the burn of the kalahari sun
See the joy and the pain in the eyes of
The woman and child in the city street
Begging to eat while daddy's in the yard drunk
Falling asleep. Can you believe!
Used to have both hands out, tears in my eyes
Till I saw the bigger picture and it filled me with pride.

Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you

*Dancing, dancing*

(E.J.)
Let me shout from di mountain top,
Me ah missin' di place of me birth non stop.
Me wan fi drink from uno fountain drop,
It's a yearnin' so deep inside my heart.
Muma-land, what uno been through me know now
Dat your heart is aching.
Dem nah see now what dem ah do fi uno children.
Me wan fi know di truth from di start, beca',
Dem lie about you!
Me wan fi hold you!
Cyan't live without you!
Me cry out for you!

Africaaaa

Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you
Been missing you for so long
I've been missing you

Heart red hot the cold the night
The fear so near behind my back
The souls still fights
The brain is dead
I shed a tear for blood we shared
For women's cry
The truth that failed
Hunger took your child away
So the men they sucked your blood
Fear is back the cold the night
Fire fuse the flame explosion
Nations feel the blame
Corrosion
Heart broke
Miss the days
Touched and walked and kissed your ways
Heart broke
Miss the days




Touched and walked and kissed your ways
I'm missing you...

No szacun za ten kawałek... Bit wbija w ścianę, a solo przyprawia o dreszcze.
