O Reggae [English translation]
I still remember when I was 3-years old
My first time as a prisoner
My first at school
How eager I felt to get away from there
I used to do everything they requested me
I used to believe in everything they told me
They told me to be a bit patient
I failed, then they yelled: Rise and shine!
I did so but nothing changed
I learned what was right with the wrong person
I watched the news on TV
And learned to cheat to win
Nothing turned out to be as I expected
Not even those I loved
Whatever though, if this is how it is going to be
I will do whatever I see as the best for me
Help me if I need, do whatever I ask you to
Don't do as I do
But just don't leave me here
No one asked me if I felt ready
And I ended up feeling totally lost
While trying to find the truth
Amongst all the lies told in the city
I tried to see what was wrong
How many children had been killed by God
They drank my blood and took my choices away
They had my destiny chosen for me
They spoke about freedom then took me to jail
They asked for an ID to beat me up
They took away all my weapons
How am I supposed to defend myself
You won this battle
As for the war, we shall see
