lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, I told ya to enter my mind,
Now it's time, for you to come and, ah, enter my life,
As a child, my life was centred and tethered to strife,
In the wild, of the Congo, did I mention the fights,
In the nights, and the wars, that would break out, ignite,
Of course, this became the norm for wreckage to spike, ah
Macabre hearts, and a carcass cast man it ain't alright
Barrage, hard military armed with hot bombs,
Artillery, that cost a life, yeah,
This the pain, humans feuding, everyday,
Devils brewing, demons prey,
On the foolish, and decay, spreading,
Many spray, bullets here, with the AK,
Many tears, on plenty faces, my dear, where's the change here?

[Interlude: Mr. Guide]
Where's the change, we're chained to wars in this place we call, Congo,
(Congo, Congo)
Where a young boy is born into a country of corruption and death

[Verse 2]
(Yes) This is it, all the pain, that do exist
Let me paint the truest description, of the feuds and rifts,
That would run, the ruins, rips made, consuming all of us,
Snakes are loosened, forest brushed with blood, polluting forages,
What'd bloom is doom and tombs that'd soon consume, the corridors,
Of life and death, the horrors pushed,
From offices to the roads of dust,
With slaughterings and sorts of things that's sordid,
Must, I continue giving you illustrations, of this sort of stuff!?

[Interlude]
Congo, black and bloodied now,
Go it check out,
The place is hungry, muddied by the horrids man,
I represent the Congo yes,
Until I rest my consciousness,
Forever I'm on keep repping this place, make my country proud

[Interlude]
Who'd ever think that this land is Christian?
Had to land in England 'cause my times where different...
Hard times, for instance,
Children enlisted, to harsh militias,
There's, mothers and sisters, raped in villages,
And cities seriously deprived of food,
There's, bad diseases and malnutrition, asylum seekers,
Of which I was too

[Outro: Mr. Guide]
So here we are, in Congo, (Congo, Congo, Congo)
Or rather in Daniel's memories of Congo, the place he was born, (born)
And we journey with him, through this story, Memoire, (Memoire, Memoire, Mémoire)
A flashback and highlights of his life,
So follow us, through this tale, as we speak about Daniel Sebuyange, the young boy from Africa,
I bring to you Memoire
