IAM ft Jose Mendes
I am the man who as a kid walked bare feeted on the sand/
seventy freeing my brothers at war in the motherland/
Amilcar just got shot damn some say that’s that for the mad man/
others say we just lost the greatest man Africa has known/
on his way home independency’s an illusion I got to move on/
to an other place other time green grass other side/ a beautiful picture after arrival still on the grind/
I am the woman who got married for the passport/ with this white man I didn’t love didn’t care for/
travelled a long way to be sent back home/ got my papers I’m legal now time to get that do/
divorce was part of the plan now she’s looking for that real love/ home sick eclipse the sun she feels alone/
you don’t want to know the way she was feeling/ hooked up with this man she was feeling the beginning/
CHORUS
I am the sun of the ones mentioned in verse one/ they’re my world protect serve em
Saddam just got hung/ regimes convincing minds one by one/ I live in a big city of dreams so why must I run/
I face problems mama told me sun wait and thy kingdom shall come/ waited till my kingdom came meanwhile/
I was waiting for that queen together we could reign//
she was like a picture out of a dream/ and together we could move mountains and cross seas/ he said how ya doing she said I’m doing fine/ he asked her are you new here I come here all the time/ can I get your name and number so I can call you some time/ yeah the beginning/
CHORUS
