Lyrics
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
