bilal - sorrow, tears & blood (2022 mix) lyrics

[refrain: bilal (with dwight trible and choir)]
everybody run, run, run (hey yeah!)
everybody scatter, scatter (hey yeah!)
some people lost some bread (hey yeah!)
someone nearly die (hey yeah!)
someone just die (hey yeah!)
police dey come, army dey come (hey yeah!)
confusion everywhere (hey yeah!)

several minutes latеr (hey yeah!)
all done cool down, brothеr (hey yeah!)
police done go away (hey yeah!)
army done dispair (hey yeah!)
them just leave…

[chorus: bilal (with dwight trible and choir)]
them leave sorrow, tears, and blood (them regular trademark!)
them leave sorrow, tears, and blood (them regular trademark!)
that is why…! (hey yeah!)

[break 1: zap mama, vocalizing & scatting]

[break 2: dwight trible and choir vocalizing & harmonizing]

[verse 1: common]
years of tears and sorrow
leave me to never fear tomorrow
food for thought that some never appear to swallow
raw as the wind of chicago
the way they slayed art
destroying light
them regular trademark
god is watching
yeah, god is watching and observing
ready to serve justice to those that are deserving
several minutes later –
the creator will innovate a way to…
pay the police and the beast of supposed righteousness
and all we can do is just fight, and just…
live
yeah… just live
[interlude: excerpt of fela kuti interview dialogue]
they beat the sh+t out of me
but see, i didn’t die
because, see, my name is aníkúlápó
i have death in my pouch, i can’t die
they can’t k!ll me

[verse 2: bilal]
ha, ha, hoo, hee…
fela kuti…
i have t+t+too many words to say
too many things are danginling, dangling in my head
confused man
trapped
with no solution
because mere words could never explain, or even…
constitute the fonk+y situation that really went on in the days of my man
mr. fela kuti, and all the things, the many wives he had, ha…
a red hot situation, “no water, no enemy”
just sorrow, tears and blood
and the hopes of millions
dead from a curse
it hurts my heart, i’m broken…

[verse 3: tiombe lockhart]
why… why… why, why do they hurt you when…
they say they’re happy for you?
why… why… why, why do you get up when…
you always seem to fall down?
but i’ll be strong
they won’t last long
i’ll sing my song
to get along
they don’t know…
they don’t know…
when they hurt you, it’s like…
hurt you, you just…
leave, leave, leave, leave…
[bridge: bilal]
just sorrow, tears, and blood
hey, yeah…
just sorrow, tears, and blood
hey, yeah…
it’s just sorrow, tears, and blood
ohhh….
sorrow, tears, and blood…

[refrain 2: bilal (with dwight trible and choir)]
everybody run, run, run (hey yeah!)
everybody scatter, scatter (hey yeah!)
someone nearly died (hey yeah!)
some people just died (hey yeah!)
police dey come, politic dey come (hey yeah!)
confusion everywhere (hey yeah!)

several minutes later (hey yeah!)
all done cool down, brother (hey yeah!)
police done go away (hey yeah!)
army done dispair (hey yeah!)
they just leave…

them leave sorrow, tears, and blood (them regular trademark!)
them leave sorrow, tears, and blood (them regular trademark!)
that is why…! (hey yeah!)
ohh……
they leave sorrow, tears, and blood!
sorrow, tears, and blood!!!
