Текст песни K-Maro - Not Your Time To Go

It's not time to give up

My life could have sounded like a sad song.
Let's go back a bit. It's a long story.
I was born in a crazy country, but undoubtedly in a beautiful place.
In the east side of Miami. Even the air is special there.
War zone? Yes! Hot spot? Yes!
Beirut, Lebanon, have you heard? Not!
The spirit of war, the abundance of lands.
But too many hands encroach on this meager wealth.
They fight, and after a decade there is war again.
Everything is in front of my eyes. I'm just a child. And I couldn't fucking figure it out.
Heroes were dying before my eyes, soldiers were crying.
I prayed to God for the best, but he did not hear me.
So this is what my reality was. I am eleven years old. And no prospects.
Plus the fact that I lived in a war zone.
Everything happened before my eyes. It developed a fighting spirit in me.

Wake up boy it's not time to give up
Wake up boy it's time to show
To the whole world why you came here.
Go ahead, your hour has come.

I am still very young. But I live as if on the last day.
I breathe as if through a respirator borrowed for a while.
I need to find a piece of the world in the sun
Where we could get warm with the whole family.
And when the war ended on January 1, 1991,
The father decided: "Enough", it's time to get away.
We packed our things quickly. A couple of dollars for the first time.
We grab my little sister. Kiss goodbye. That's all.
New life, the beginning of my new path.
I realized for myself then that I would not lose a single war.
And of course, I will fight to the last, I was trained for this.
I got stronger and smarter, got all the best, this is my payback.
This is how the world works, I have nothing to fear.
It doesn't matter what you want to show me, I've seen worse.
The point is, now I want to run the show.
I was never afraid to die! Fuck you! The world is in my hands.

Wake up boy it's not time to give up
Wake up boy it's time to show
To the whole world why you came here.
Go ahead, your hour has come.

And now that I look back, I am happy that I went this way.
Fate was in debt to me, I am happy that she paid me off.
I climbed from the very bottom to the top of the peaks.
Now I enjoy every moment of my life as if it were the last.
And now that I look back, I am happy that I went this way.
Fate was in debt to me, I am happy that she paid me off.
I climbed from the very bottom to the top of the peaks.
Don't wake me up if this is a dream. There is no turning back.

Not Your Time To Go

My life could sound like a sad song
so let me take you back a little short story long
I was born in a crazy country but beautiful indeed
the middle east Miami, that special air that I breathe
a war zone yes, a hot zone yes,
Beyrouth Lebanon well known? No!
the spirit of a soldier, riches of a land
but too little to grab on for so many hands
so they fight and for a decade they fought again
I'm watching I'm a kid and god damn I can't understand
I see the heroes dying, I see the soldiers crying
I prayed for better days but god was lying so
that's my reality I guess, I'm eleven years old and no future to assess
plus the fact that I'm a property of a war zone country
I've seen it all, they made a warrior out of me

Wake up kid it's not your time to go ...
Wake up kid it's now the time to show
The whole world what you came for, go it's your payback (bis)

Still so young but living like no tomorrow
like on a respirator, breathing on time you borrow,
seeking for a little piece, a glimpse of sunshine
gather the family and have some quality time,
and then January 1st 1991 war is over
daddy had enough, let's move over,
quickly we pack up, couple of dollars for back up
grabbed my little sister, kiss goodbye it's a wrap up
a new life, for me a new beginning,
I knew
