Wowowo,
This is Black Mother
Oh Zion I,
Wowowo
Just singing about them
Give them the appreciation
In this life
See those women carrying, dem little children
And on their back dem holding,
Working tools
Tell you builders of the families are the builders of the nation
If each family is moral and great
Then every nation is so great
But some fool when they see these women
They think that it's their duty to carry
The heavy family burden
To wake up early in the morning
Forsake their nightly comforts
Task themselves with daily chores
And never wearing in their applications
Don't mind these ingrate-ite fools…
Wowowo
Wowowo
Talking of black women
Giving them appreciation
Come down come down
Come down come down
Come down come down
Come down come down
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Come down come down
Every day when you come around
Come down come down
Come down come down
Can't wait till when she gets old
Then I'll sing to her lullabies
That she sang to me when I was young
Can't wait till when she gets old
Then I'll sing to her lullabies
That she sang to me when I was young
And when I get sick
She is my foundational brick
Oh mama oh mama
Oh mama oh mama
Come down come down
Come down come down
Come down come down
Come down come down
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion
Come down come down
Every day when you come around
Come down come down
Come down come down
Oh yeah yeah
Builders of the nation
Are the builders of the family
If each family is moral and great
Then the whole nation is so great
Black Zion Black Zion
Black Zion Black Zion

Early in the morning when I wake up
I then I get up on my feet
I’ve got to walk all day to find work
Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who am I?
When darkness fall
I scrounge Koinange streets
I risk my health and dignity too
Yes who Am I?
Who Am I?
Who Am I?
Who am I?
The last time I was in school was three months ago
I didn’t have to wait for the Bursar man to come around
To tell me where to I was bound
Who Am I?
Who Am I? Who am I?

They bring the gospel and swap it for your dinner
You close your eyes and your land is gone

These daughters will do

Chariots of Reason come down here
And now they’ve gone away

Left their footprints on clay

Midnight Run
06:26
|

They say in a distance
That your touch is close
But with you in my sight
I can hold you closer
But for seven night and six days
I'll wait for you
Until the end of midnight
No one is to break-down the rule
No one is to break-down the rule…
My darling is an antelope
Hurt by a hunter
The blame is mine
Though we share the pain
And as she goes with a broken heart
No one is to deny
The cause and longing
That she carries within
No one is to deny
The longing that she carries within
You didn't have to run
You didn't have to run
To leave this heart as it is
Now my desires are chained in the past
Frequenting old comforts and time
Never wanting to live again
Midnight run Midnight run
The dust from your runaway path have settled
In my eyes
Yes they’ve settled in my eyes
Oh yes they’ve
Oh Midnight run
And they never wanting to leave again
And they never wanting to leave again
They say in a distance
That your touch is close
But with you in my arms
I will hold you closer
But for seven night and six days
I'll wait for you
Until the end of midnight
No one is to break-down the rule
