Shake Your Limbs

(album: Rhythm & Hymns - 2007)

Shake ya limbs to da rhythms hymns and poems
mek we know where we going shake ya limbs to da
rhythms hymns and poems shake ya limbs to da
rhythms hymns and poems mek we know where we going
shake ya limbs to da rhythms hymns and poems
work it out and they say they're
trying to work it out but they don't know
just how or why and it really seems preordained
and my friends are far away and I wonder if they're ok
and I wonder if the times have changed
and I thought that I saw your face
are you safe shake ya limbs to da
rhythms hymns and poems mek we know where we going
shake ya limbs to da rhythms hymns and poems
from the beginning there was war and sinning
and it seems like nothing has changed
bombs are dropping on iraq and lebanon
it's like vietnam all over again days ago a bredrin that I know
tell me dat he cyan tek no more bombs are dropping
on iraq and lebanon and everywhere
it seems like war and they say they're
trying to work it out but they don't know
just how or why and it really seems preordained
and my friends are far away and I wonder if they're ok
and I wonder if the times have changed
and I thought that I saw your face
are you safe from now on
I'm not fighting fair it's guerilla warface
it's been 400 years of my people's tears
I'm like shaka with a hungry spear
asilwe ke ng'fikile ke mina ng'uqhaqha 'maqinso
ubaba ung'biza ucath'impi ubhambhatha ka manciza
lo ongijoja ngomkhonto once a slave and now a brave
I got my army in the cave asilwe ke ng'fikile ke
and they say they're trying to work it out
but they don't know just how or why
and it really seems preordained and my friends are far away
and I wonder if they're ok and I wonder
if the times have changed and I thought
that I saw your face are you safe
and they say they're trying to work it out
but they don't know just how or why
and it really seems preordained and my friends are far away
and I wonder if they're ok and I wonder
if the times have changed and I thought
that I saw your face are you safe
shake ya limbs to da rhythms hymns and poems
mek we know where we going shake ya limbs to da
rhythms hymns and poems shake ya limbs to da
rhythms hymns and poems mek we know where we going
shake ya limbs to da rhythms hymns and poems
I don't wanna see you fail I don't wanna see you
hurt at all see you fail I don't wanna see you fail
I don't wanna see you hurt at all see you fail
