Burn Down This Place (feat. Seun Kuti) [2018 Mix] Songtext
von Natty

Check the daily many years ago a man
who looked just like my father
came and took a man
who looked just my mother from his home,
put him shackled in a boat, made him row,
made him work for Jim Crowe.
eeny meeny miny mo catch a nigger by his toe
make him know that he ain′t better than no animal.
now we see the reprecussions on road
black boys with buckys its the slavery off the show.
So roll up and get your tickets,
read the review in the paper,
if you want then i can take it how you mean ill see you later.
I'll make you meet your maker, make you meet your maker,
bun fire all african invaders.


I′ll burn down this whole place and take you all down with me,
with your silver chains and your strange names
and your fancy artillery,
ill burn down this whole place and take you all with me,
no man like i, no man like i was ever built for your slavery.

I met man black like the oil from his land
says the only friend he has is the money and gun in his hand,
well its better than a spear and hes living in fear
of his own man, so what a man to do,
so what a man to do (what a man to do)
living in a state of fear through inferiority
when you're told to hate yourself and those who look like you,
and yes they teach it in schools, its an all institute,
slave mentality rules, slave mentality rules.

I'll burn down this whole place and take you all down with me,
with your silver chains and your strange names
and your fancy artillery,
ill burn down this whole place and take you all with me,
no man like i, no man like i was ever built for your slavery.


And if you don′t wanna say sorry (we′re ok),
don't need your apologies (we′re ok),
should've been extinct but (it′s ok),
we're still here, still here,
and stop your chat about the tour its the remake,
im ain′t trying to hear im trying to elevate
just saying to remember what it took to see today,
we're still here, still here.

ll burn down this whole place and take you all down with me, with your silver chains and your strange names and your fancy artillery, ill burn down this whole place and take you all with me, no man like i, no man like i was ever built for your slavery.
