Politics Lyrics

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home, calling it home

Yeah

My people await liberation

Youngest nation in chains suffocating

Despite the gasp I'm still representin'

Blood and tears, the fluids keep on drippin'

The struggle for power, a political struggle

Makes bullets fly, destroys a baby's milk bottle

She could've been a scientist but now a widow

Due to lack of understanding from our so call heroes

We know, money's the root of all evil

But so is your heart if you pick up a lethal weapon

And you show no mercy

You're thirsty for cash you move so adversely

I dare you to correct me if I am wrong

But on this platform your morals don't conform

With the regulation of human rights

And I hope that one day you'll consider our lives, yeah

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home, calling it home

Streets aren't safe and it don't makes

People are afraid of their own leaders

Dying, hand of hate

There's no love given, no love given, no love given

Mama mama, please don't cry

Baba baba, please don't lie

12 o'clock the bullets will fly

And we ain't gone sleep all night

The baby's gonna sing

Even the birds are gonna sing

No rain and no sunshine

Dead bodies on the front line

We've lost too many soldiers

Ooh the nations getting colder

We've lost too many soldiers

Ooh the nations getting colder

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home, calling it home

Yeah

I may be few thousand miles from home

But I am ready to take a ride back home

I express my apology it took so long

My mind wasn't right reading the wrong books all along

Passages that don't relate to my existence

Mis-leading materials I was almost distant

From my culture but I hold a strong belief for resilience

My expression was furious still was able to conciliate

Pulled myself together did not grant their wish

They'll do anything to seal your lips, they take and they get

Or give and they take, just know the cycle don't stop

Freedom of speech don't exist unless it's hip hop

Fist up, the power's in the hands of the people

Your actions are illegal like the times of medieval

At my middle age living young suppose to be fun

But how when death keeps occurring at the beat of these drums

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home

Affected by political crime

I was forced to cross the Nile

They labelled it a war tone zone

But I'll always be calling it home, calling it home
