Same Thing [Song]

Uploaded by Lord Cumiana SAME THING
By King Fighter [Guyana]

What is this at all with we people in the world?
What is this at all with we people in the world?
If a man ent have a pretty face, good Lord!
Trouble around the place
Some will watch you from head to toe
And laugh anywhere you go.

But you could be pretty as the Venus star [The same flesh and blood]
You could be ugly as a gorilla [The same flesh and blood]
You could be rich [Same thing], you could poor [Same thing]
Black or white, crimson or mustard [The same flesh and blood].

You must understand the Lord says, "Come, let us make man."
So He made us all to His own image after all
So when you believe that you laughing me, is your own dear family
Take a knife and cut we up just like mud
Is the same flesh and blood.

You could be pretty as the Venus star [The same flesh and blood]
You could be ugly as a gorilla [The same flesh and blood]
You could be bad, [Same thing] you could good [Same thing]
Black or white, crimson or mustard [The same flesh and blood].

Look another thing that have us deep down in sin
This racialism business is pure foolishness
It have some places in this world some of us can't dwell at all
If you don't have the colour to suit, Mama, they'll treat you like brute.

You could be pretty as the Venus star [The same flesh and blood]
You could be ugly as a gorilla [The same flesh and blood]
You could be rich, [Same thing] you could poor [Same thing]
Black or white, crimson or mustard [The same flesh and blood]

It have some animals nowadays don't live so at all
Just take for instance Melody and his girl Constance
Sometimes when they making love, you may feel is two turtle dove
Why we can't adapt the same principle and live like people.

You could be pretty as the Venus star [The same flesh and blood]
You could be ugly as a gorilla [The same flesh and blood]
You could be rich, [Same thing] you could poor [Same thing]
Black or white, crimson or mustard [The same flesh and blood].

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, King Fighter!

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
