I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR THE LIFETIME
I´M SURE I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR A LIFETIME AND MORE

IF THAT SERIOUS ALLIANCE LIES AHEAD
LET EVERY NECESSARY WORD BE SAID
REMEMBERING THE BLOOD THAT WE´VE SHED
KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE THINGS WE MUST FORGET

I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR THE LIFETIME
I´M SURE I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR A LIFETIME AND MORE

BEWARE OF TRAGEDY LEFT RIGHT AND CENTER
DON´T ALLOW HELL ON EARTH TO ENTER
GET RID OF ALL THE DAMAGE IN YOUR HEAD
REMEMBER THERE´S AN ENEMY IN YOUR BED

I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR THE LIFETIME
I´M SURE I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR A LIFETIME AND MORE

THE JOKES ON ME FOR SURE
BUT THAN WISHES AND HOPES COME TRUE FOR SURE
IT´S YOU FOR SURE, OUT OF THE BLUE FOR SURE
IT´S YOU FOR YOUR PAST RICH AND POOR TOWARDS
THAT HARD ENCORE

I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR THE LIFETIME
I´M SURE I´D BE WAITING - WAITING FOR A LIFETIME AND MORE

I´VE WALKED ON THE AFRICAN SANDS LIKE THE KOSAN
THE ORIGINAL MAN FROM LANDS SACRED
BATTLED ZULU TRIBES FOR THE PASSION OF WORD PLAY AND SWAM
THE ZAMBEZI BUT NAKED
SEEN THE SUN RISE IN THE EAST AND SET IN THE WEST
PLOTTED STARS CHAT AND DIRECTIONS FOR GOD TO MANIFEST
FROM THE PEAKS OF THE PYRAMIDS I LEFT TAGS IN DARK CAVES
THAT GAVE HUMANITY CLUES ON HOW TO STAR GAZE
I´VE SEEN A SNAKE SHED ITS SKIN LIKE THE SEASONS AND CHANGE
I´VE SEEN WORLD REARANGE IN A FLASH
NOW FOR THIS CASH THEY RAPE OUR LANDS STRICTLY FOR WEALTH
IT´S LEFT ME STRANDED IN A SPIRITUAL REALM ALL BY MYSELF
HEADED TO MECCA I STOPPED AND SPOKE SWAHILI WITH TRIBES
CHANTED NATIVE DIALECTS OVER THE HILL I FELT VIBES
THREW MY HANDS IN THE SKY THEN BEAT THEM HARU ON A
DRUM OVER THE HORIZON I WAITED FOR FREEDOM TO COME
BUT THE SHIPS JUST KEEP SAILING AND WHIPS JUST KEEP CRACKING
I WONDER WHERE I AM SO I BEGIN BACK TRACKING THROUGH THE
SOLOMONIC DYNASTY I READ THE KEBRA IT TOOK ME SWIFT
ACROSS THE PLAINS LIKE I WAS RIDING ON A ZEBRA THE ASHANTE
DRAPED ME IN ROBES OF ROYALTY THE SHONA TRIBE BLESSED ME
WITH LYRICAL ABILITY ITS BEAULY INFINALE AND THERE´S JUST NO
DEBATING WHEN I FINALY SAW ALL ALONG WHO´S BEEN WAITING
