When The Choice in a Life ...

[CaribChild]

When the choice in a life, has ripened to,
Whether you...
Waan fi live? Or craving fi dead?
When love ceases to grow, dat mean, it's nolonger properly fed
When bridges over a barrier, dance like trees in a serious storm
Snaps back
Like fingers being pricked
By a beautiful roses thorns ...
Fooled by its delicate form
Tell me a Black life disappears when an Afrikan life takes form
Tell me prophetic truths come to pass
As sand falls through an hourglass
Tell mi a Black life simply dies, when an Afrikan life is born

When the coice in a life, has decomposed to,
Whether you ...
Waan fi truth? You waan fi lie?
When the white lies and black magic unwind their tainted swirl
When the blessed shells refuse to give up their life producing black pearls
Tell me!
You could neva eva tell mi ah lie
You would as soon jus loose an eye
Tell me you saw the sun rise in the night sky
Amazed by the majesty of Black
Tell me you wanna bust the first shot when the revolution comes
Then charge and yell, ATTACK!

Tell me that Afrikan is your favorite colour
It's who you are
It's how you think
Tell me ... Mi nah waan no wine from grapes
Teg is wah mi drink
Tell me about the wisdom of Mali
Tell me of the Ancients of Cameroon
Tell me that mystery babylon shall fall
Tell me the time is coming soon
Tell me why the Tueregs wear blue turbans
Tell me about the Kente clothe
Most of all
Tell me that righteous works are not for naught

When the choice in a life has come to you
Doan bodder tell how unno choose
Mi know
Mi know
Mi Know ....
