Song For The Motherland Lyrics - Singles - Avogadro

Intro: 

Waa heestii dhulka hooyo 

A-V-O, V-Line, AJ, K-Touch 

Classic song, for all my people back home 

Song for motherland. 

Verse 1 

Its home of the heroes 

Its nothing like what u see in the videos 

Its home of the lions 

So many people got master of science 

But still ignorance is widespread 

And that's more harmful than HIV threat 

Many r lost in the dark,my people ('ve) been torn apart 

Ever since the colonialism 

Hit the continent & then replaced by tribalism 

Peaceful days we miss em 

Waking up without hearing gunshots 

Or seeing gunmen operating roadblocks 

On many street corners where we used to play 

Mama used to say: "fear; Never show it 

Or visit the old man, u know the poet 

Learn from his words of wisdom" 

(Yeah learn from his words of wisdom) 

Damn, damn I miss em. 

Chorus 2x 

Singing the song for the mother (for the motherland) 

Singing the song for the joy she brings (and the pain) 

Singing the song for the mother (for the motherland) 

Singing the song for the mother (its the A-f-r-i-c-a) 

Verse 2 

Dear motherland, 

A lot of things changed since I left your sand 

I was a little kid roaming, 

Around places not knowing where I was going 

Lost soul but now I have both feet 

On the ground culture is mixed indeed 

About to be a chemist, here in overseas 

Stress increases 

to the point a lot of people go insane 

Some r still on the same 

BS, u know hatred & tribe 

No cure for that so doctors can't prescribe 

Ignorant ones are really dark inside 

They never see the light 

They can run but can't escape from reality 

Im always mistaken for another nationality 

But thats positive though, 

I represent the beauty of A-f-r-i-c-a 

Im a man of the people like Chinua Acheb 

Chorus 2x 

Verse 3 

The word mercy 

Doesn't exist in the presence of a blood thirsty 

Bless me or curse me 

But Ill never sell my soul to the devil like Ayaan Hersi 

Thats a liar's mission 

Its like lying just to get a higher position 

We all know, no need to ask if thats so, 

Forget Picasso 

I paint a picture like Amin Amir, give u a vivid scene 

Keep ya ears clean 

Tell me, how can a warlord be innocent? 

How can a warlord build a government? 

when it comes to peace talks, warlords be like who the hell cares? 

In the parliament beating up each other with chairs 

Tell Ridley Scott 

He wanna make a real movie thats simply hot? 

Put my songs together & he get a better script 

Peace aint a short trip 

but we dont give up! 

Chorus xxx 

Outro: 

yeah, Avogadro 

For all my people back home, for the A-f-r-i-c-a, 

For those who don't know that, namean 

For those who be brainwashed by a TV, just listen to the song.
