WYCLEF JEAN Diallo - Featuring Youssou N'Dour And MB2 lyrics

Boy I am so tired, I'll be glad when I get inside the house
Oh, I dropped my keys, oh, what's this bright light?
My God they must gonna rob me
Who these people with them all at, they gonna rob me

I'm gonna take out my wallet to make sure
They just get the money and nothing else. oh shit wait
That's the police, I feel so much better
I will show them, I have my ID so they know I am good people

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil for Thou art with me Thou ride with me, J-j-Jah
Rastafari, I can't forget you knotty dreads, y'all up in here
I gotta respect that, you know what I'm sayin'? Night is in the air

Enemy on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire forty-one shots by Diallo's side?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

You guys are vampires in the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood, is that your appetite?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

Have you ever been shot forty-one times?
Have you ever screamed and no one heard you cry?
Have you ever died only so you can live?
Have you ever lived only so you can die again, then be born again?

From these enemies on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire forty-one shots by Diallo's side?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

You guys are vampires in the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood, is that your appetite, sir?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, you told me the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo, but every man will be judged

Diallo, Diallo, according to his words

Have you ever been held against your will?
Taken to a dark place where not even scientists can reveal?
So what is for Ceasar, let it be for Ceasar
'Cause we don't want no peace, we want equal rights and justice

For Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, you tell me that the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo, but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo, according to his words

You know what? You told me that I wouldn't understand
Tonight some cry in the streets a burial
Survival of the fittest only the strong will survive
How can I survive with forty-one shots by my side?

You guys are murderers in the middle of the night
Killin' innocent people is that your appetite?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

You guys are vampires in the middle of the night
Suckin' on human blood, is that your appetite?
You said he reached, sir, but he didn't have no piece, sir
But now he rest in peace, sir, in the belly of the beast, sir

Lick a shot for Diallo, Diallo, similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo, I can hear your spirit callin', I can hear it
Diallo, Diallo, ten thousand chariots with no riders
Diallo, Diallo, they on their way to America
I hear the tribe singin', they're sayin'

Diallo Diallo, tuye' Diallo
Diallo Diallo, tuye' Diallo
Diallo Diallo, tuye' Diallo

Now there ain't but 20,000 police in the whole town
Can you dig it? Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
