johniepee - another life كلمات الأغنية
[verse 1]
yeah
i don’t wanna live here anymore, sick of all the blood on the floor
yeah i’m sick of them, waging this war
my people lived everyday like this, way i before was born
rape and murder are becoming the norm
majority dead and gone, so i sleep with an ak
hoping that’ll help me weather the storm
i’m ready for war, won’t settle ’til i settled the score
i ain’t letting ’em tread on anything, my weapons are drawn
they gunned my family down right in front if my house
remember the murderous shouts of them gathered around
i tried to run out, but the rebel stuck a gun in my mouth
told me i’d be dead like them if i decided to shout
but my dad played dead, grabbed the gun from his waist then
jumped up, held it to the man’s head, then said
“run son”, so i did what my dad said
heard a bang, turned around, hit the ground, dad’s dead
[pre-chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life on the other side
surrounded by violence and gunfire
where you have to fight to stay alive
and at any given time the bullets fly
[chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life where your parents died
if you survive, will rely on a pair of dice
if you tell me you have problems, you ain’t thinking right
you know why? ’cause you could’ve had another life
[verse 2]
yeah
we are running and running and running and running
we’re climbing on top of the train in the hundreds
if we stay at home we’re becoming the hunted
we’ve gotta leave otherwise days are all numbered
i wonder if we make it to the border
will we have enough food an’ water?
i got a young son and a young daughter
and i’m tryna keep ’em safe from the slaughter
i’m risking everything i have just to get away
but i know we’ll die if we say we wanna stay
so what choice do i have, but the death train?
surviving a train ride is a plan best laid
i’m scared, i pray to god above
but i wear a brave face for my little ones, ’cause they’re all i’ve got
the train takes off, rolling on couple hours in
nothing wrong, then it stops, gunshots
[pre-chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life on the other side
surrounded by violence and gunfire
where you have to fight to stay alive
and at any given time the bullets fly
[chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life where your parents died
if you survive, will rely on a pair of dice
if you tell me you have problems, you ain’t thinking right
you know why? ’cause you could’ve had another life
[verse 3]
yeah
do you own a car? roof above your head? warm and cosy bed?
then you’re better off in this world than seventy-five percent
pay the rent? clothes up on your back with some change to spend?
you’re in the top eight percent of the world my friend
you are blessed, born in a lucky country
never truly known hunger, fear and the suffering
five hundred million people deal with every day
so i laugh in your face when you complain
i can go to sleep at night, not afraid
not worried about my house being torn up when the bullets spray
order at a café whatever’s on the menu
hit up woolworths or a drive through just to get food
we’ve got everything we could ever want on tap
our problems don’t hold any weight, know that
people grateful every day to see the sun rise
no lie, think twice, you coulda had another life
[pre-chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life on the other side (on the other side)
surrounded by violence and gunfire (by gunfire)
where you have to fight to stay alive
and at any given time the bullets fly
[chorus: elodie]
could’ve had another life, a life where your parents died
if you survive, will rely on a pair of dice
if you tell me you have problems, you ain’t thinking right
you know why? ’cause you could’ve had another life
