Generate meaning
1
So yea basicaly alot of people ask me how life was then... so here it is*
2
My old home smelled of good birth
3
Boiled red beans kernal oil and hand me down poetry
4
It's brick white washed walls widdowed by first paint
5
The tin roof tops humm in songs of promise while time ends
6
Locked into demonic rythm with the leaves
7
The trees had the wind huggin them loving them a torturous love
8
Bug in wind it was over and done the the rounds ment to pocket
9
Kept the rain drops cool neighbours dwellers spatter in the pool
10
Kids playing football with a sand in a sock
11
We had what we got and it wasn't alot
12
No one knew they were poor we were all inocent to grieve judgment
13
The country was combusing with life like a long hybernatin volcano
14
With a long tale of succes like j-lo farmers, fishers, fighters,
15
Even fools had a place in production teh coral reefs make your days
16
In reflection the costal line was the place of seduction
17
And women walked with grace and perfection
18
And we just knew we were warriors too nothing worried us too
19
We were glorious?
20
[Verse:]
21
And one day it came
22
Spoiled the parade like rain
23
Like oil in a flame it pained
24
The heart attack sudden
25
Harder then livin
26
Harder then a punch in the woom
27
Harder then the lunch you consume for us
28
It had a cancerous fume war, lust
29
Men who made killing hobbiest
30
Sellin powerfully
31
Like healthy livestock
32
It made tides rock
33
With a diligent mock
34
Confused with the people
35
Infused in the evil
36
(profester) reject
37
Like jews in the sequal
38
So when it came in the morning
39
With a warning and without
40
The hearding was a burden
41
Only certain was dealt
42
A mythical tale
43
No soul knows well
44
Liberty went to hell
45
Freedom caught four shells
46
Fears was the bloke
47
Keep your to the show
48
It apears old will
49
Was right in 84
50
Half baked brother
51
Killed mother in a store
52
But all of us watching
53
But they don't love her anymore
54
[Chorus:]
55
(peed) my poem
56
Mother was my old home

Good will is looted

In my old home

Religions is burnt down

We got pistols with eyes
71
Curuption and lies
72
Trust us snakes
73
And death without breaks

Suspicious new borns

Live in the horn

We used to teh pain
77
Rack bodies

Chop limbs

Spend lies
82
Not wealth
83

Our women labour, but need no invadin
109
Our farms produce giulty grubin
