Papa he was gone tryna make a dime
Mama kept us warm
When there was no sunshine
I was busy building up a reputation
Did a lot of things
Out of desperation
Back up on my feet
Got the motivation
Now I found my faith
And a good vibration
Search for you
Love of creation
When you're feeling down
In this place
Just replace them
Keep a vision on the one
You've been chasing
When the time comes
Wwe'll run to the station
We've been laced
With the powers of creation
So when the sun sets
You bet you must face them
Remember when we were running
'cross the nation
We were living
For the here and now
You can't catch me
I'll be gone by the time they come
You can't catch me
The war is already won
Even though the children
Have sold their guns
We must remember the fallen ones
Remember the fallen ones yeah oh yeah
Raised in the capital
Of Port-au-Prince
Born with them pillars
In them tenements
Papa used to run from the immigration
When we got to the United Station
A teen under pressure
Got to blend in
Before the guitar
I had a MAC-10
Thanks for you
Love of creation
When you're feeling down
In this place
Just replace them
Keep a vision on the one
You've been chasing
When the time come
We run to the station
We've been laced
With the powers of creation
So when the sun sets
You bet you must face them
Remember when we were running
'cross the nation
We were living
For the here and now
You can't catch me
I'll be gone by the time they come
You can't catch me
The war is already won
Even though the children
Have sold their guns
We must remember the fallen ones
Remember the fallen ones
Yeah oh yeah
