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 rustling, hustling they heart out
4
You can't have the sweet with no sour
5
Spices, herbs, the sweets and the flower
6
She came out precisely the hour
7
Clouds disappear, the sun shows the power
8
No chance of a probably shower
9
I fell in love with my neighbor's 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
18
Have rights to be free?
19
(To be free)
20
What about those who I've known
21
Whose memories still lives inside of me?
22
Fatima, what did the young man say
23
Before he stole you away on that fateful day?
24
Fatima
25
Fatima, did he know your name
26
Or the plans we made
27
To go to New York City?
28
Fatima
29
And after school, we studied the lessons
30
I asked God to slow down the seconds
31
He does the opposite, that's what I'm guessin'
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 is no tomorrow
36
Damn, you gon' make me wait 'til tomorrow
37
She spoke Arabic and Swahili,
38
She'd say, "Upendo anta Habibi"
39
You so bright, you sound like my TV
40
Then one day, she never came to meet me
41
Is it true when they say all you need is just love?
42
(Is it true?)
43
What about those who have loved
44
Only to find that it's taken away?
45
And why do they say that the children
46
Have rights to be free?
47
(To be free)
48
What about those who I've known
49
Whose memories still lives inside of me?

60
Fatima, did he know your name
61

62
To go to New York City?
63
Fatima
64
If beauty was in the eyes of beholder
65
How come everyone hushed when she walked by?
66
How come girls would look just to scold her?
67
How come the angel wanted to hold her?
68
Fatima, Fatima, I'm in America
69
I make rhymes and I make 'em delicate
70
You would have liked the parks in Connecticut
71
You would have said I'm working to hard again
72
Damn you shooter, damn you the building
73
Whose walls hid the blood she was spillin'
74
Damn you country so good at killin'
75
Damn you feelin' for persevering
76
Is it true when they say all you need is just love?
77
(Is it true?)
78
What about those who have loved
79
Only to find that it's taken away?
80
And why do they say that the children
81
Have rights to be free?

99
Now I just want to make it clear
100
I don't want you to shed a tear
101
'Cause this here is a celebration
102
We're not mourning
103
We're celebrating so baby don't cry
104
Please don't let the tears fall
105
(Fatima)
106
So don't cry
