Lyrics: Wavedave
Music: Wavedave
I’ve been to all seven continents and seven seas
There really isn’t a Place on earth I cannot reach
Lift my eyes up to the hills, see where the grass is green
If I cannot fly there, imma get there on my feet
Government tryna fool me, oh no
Empty promises don full me, oh no
Sir, you cannot fool me no more
I can’t stay no more I’d rather be a
(Chorus)
Foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
I got nowhere to rest tonight (Rest tonight x3)
Can I take a rest by you?
All I ask is just one night (Just one night x3)
I”ll be on my way tomorrow
Need a place to rest my head (Rest my head x3)
Please don’t leave me destitute
Had to leave my past behind
Uh, it’s been six months, and I’m overstaying my welcome
Sorry, but I cannot go back to the hell that I fell from
You really ain’t got no clue how many devils we dealt with
We came from fighting poverty in 44 degrees Celsius
Government ain’t tryna help us, put us at war with each other
Just to keep us blind to the plunder that’s happening under
You’re my man, you’re my brother
No matter what race or colour
We’re still facing the same f****d up system our parents were brought up in
Same one that the young generation gone get brought up in
Youngins that gone bear the brunt of all of their father’s sins
All of their mother’s sins
And their forefather’s sins
Till the day after tomorrow, government still promising
A better life but all that’s manifesting is punishment
For being Nigerian, or being Zimbabwean, or being South African
Try imagining being a foreigner in your own land, damn
(Chorus)
Foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
They call me a foreigner, foreigner
Foreign black man in Africa
I’ve been to all seven continents and seven seas
There really isn’t a Place on earth I cannot reach
Lift my eyes up to the hills, see where the grass is green
If I cannot fly there, imma get there on my feet
Government tryna fool me, oh no
Empty promises don full me, oh no
Sir, you cannot fool me no more
I can’t stay no more I’d rather be a
