What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Picture the morning taste and devour
2
We rise early pace up the hour
3
Streets is bustling hustling their heart out
4
You can't have the sweet with no sour
5
Spices herbs the sweet scent of flower
6
We came out precisely the hour
7
Clouds disappear the sun shows the power
8
No chance of a probable shower
9
I fell in love with my neighbors daughter
10
I wanted to protect and support her
11
Never mind I'm just 12 and a quarter
12
I had dreams beyond our border.
13
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
14
Is it true
15
What about those who have loved
16
Only to find that it's taken away
17
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
18
To be free
19
What about those who I've known
20
Whose memory still lives inside of me.
21
Fatima,
22
What did the Young Man say
23
Before he stole you away
24
On that fateful day Fatima
25
Fatima,
26
Did he know your name
27
Or the plans we made,
28
To go to New York City, Fatima
29
And after school we studied the lessons
30
I ask God to slow down the seconds
31
He does the opposite that's what I'm guessing
32
I better chill and count my own blessings
33
Fatima, Fatima what is the matter
34
How come you ain't come up the ladder
35
So we can be like there's no tomorrow
36
Damn you gonna make me wait until tomorrow
37
She spoke Arabic and Swahili
38
She'd say Upendo (Swahili for love)
39
Anta Habibi (Arabic for, you are my love, dearest friend)
40
You so bright, you shine like my TV
41
Then one day she never came to meet me
42
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
43
Is it true
44
What about those who have loved
45
Only to find that it's taken away
46
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
47
To be free
48
What about those who I've known
49
Whose memory still lives inside of me.
50
Fatima,
51
What did the Young Man say
52
Before he stole you away
53
On that fateful day Fatima
54
Fatima,
55
Did he know your name
56
Or the plans we made,
57
To go to New York City, Fatima [Repeats]
58
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder
59
How come everyone hushed when she walked by
60
How come girls would look just to scold her
61
How come the angel wanted to hold her?
62
Fatima, Fatima I'm in America
63
I make rhymes and I make them delicate
64
You would have liked the parks in Connecticut
65
You would have said I'm working too hard again.
66
Damn you shooter, Damn you the building
67
Whose walls hid the blood she was spilling
68
Damn you Country so good at killing
69
Damn you feeling, for persevering
70
Is it true when they say all you need is just love,
71
Is it true
72
What about those who have loved
73
Only to find that it's taken away
74
And why do they say that the children have rights to be free
75
To be free
76
What about those who I've known
77
Whose memory still lives inside of me.

Fatima,
80
What did the Gun Man Say
81
Before he took you away on that fateful day
82
Fatima
83
Did he know your name, or the plans we made
84
To go to New York City
85
Fatima
86
Now I just want to make it clear, I don't want you to shed a tear.
87
Because this here, is a celebration,
88
We're not mourning,
89
We're celebrating
90
Yeah
91
So baby don't cry,
92
Please don't let the tears fall
93
So don't cry
