A boy from Freetown He made his way Yeah This boy knows struggle This boy knows pain This boy from Freetown Left where he stays He slayed a dragon Because there was no other way Yeah He sang no more running He sang no more crying He sang no more waiting Now I’m on my way He said I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you when I come back He said, I’m leaving to find my path I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you when I come back high He said I’m leaving to find my path Left the kin As a small pikin Mid 70’s First stop was Italy Roomin’ in a shack and black is under attack A few years later He ended up in Philly That night the cops stopped em His freedom Was an option Overstayed his welcome Ended up in jail Was just tryna work Now he’s tryna make bail This boy’s stuck to a cross System struck him with a nail Made it out the cell Now he’s driving cabs in Canada Sugar water on bread on very cold nights Those old flickering lights Memories of jail fights Gangstas in his taxi Living in the hood Parents working hard, but feel misunderstood Mothers with child Everything is fragile Last few bucks, now, up for eviction A blessing sent to them Can a miracle be fiction? 40 years later Sketching stories like a witness The storm is in the passed Now we sit and just reflect I love this man so much I have the greatest of respect Pops, father, Dad I just like calling you muh friend Get on boy Get on Get on boy Get on Get on boy Get on Get on boy Get on He said I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you when I come back I’m leaving to find my path I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you - when I come back I’m leaving to find my path He said I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you when I come back I’m leaving to find my path I’ll see you when morning come I’ll see you when night shine bright I’ll find you when I come back I’m leaving to find my path
