AfriKing - My Pekin Dem Lyrics

INTRO -

Shoutouts to my birth place Liberia
Shoutouts to my adopted land New Jersey, USA
I wanna bridge the gap between the two places that are responsible for my upbringing
So this one right here for the youth .. Look!

CHORUS -

I love all the Pekin dem
Go to war for the Pekin dem
Waste my blood for the Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

I love all my Pekin dem
Go to war for my Pekin dem
Waste my blood for my Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

Don't care for the rules
No matter what can't give up on the youth
Pray we all build and show em the tools
Gon keep fighting for em if it's all that I do

Man how can I lose?
God always there when I'm making moves
Be feeling blessed on every path that I choose
For the kids I'll walk on water with these shoes

VERSE 1 -

Been breaking bread Jesus Christ!
Children crying out 'he so nice"
Tryna make change get my people right
They rather watch us starve to death and see us fight

See us cry as our leaders die
Feed us lies as they reap our lives
Some even black Condoleezza Rice (Wow)
I stood up told the Kids it'll be alright

Fisi man dem I let my Pekin get them
Don't lek plenty talking if they not listen hurt them (Argh)
They now spoil the Country, soak all that man them
But please leave all the Pekin and the small small Girl them

Gotta always spare the Women and the kids in war
Don't care if you rebel or King don't get involved
Talking facts for all you peasants with your weapons drawn
Touch the kids I'll have y'all waking up to Heaven songs .. ugh

CHORUS -

I love all the Pekin dem
Go to war for the Pekin dem
Waste my blood for the Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

I love all my Pekin dem
Go to war for my Pekin dem
Waste my blood for my Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

Don't care for the rules
No matter what can't give up on the youth
Pray we all build and show em the tools
Gon keep fighting for em if it's all that I do

Man how can I lose?
God always there when I'm making moves
Be feeling blessed on every path that I choose
For the kids I'll walk on water with these Shoes

VERSE 2 -

Most of our leaders cowards always killing over power
Look what happened with the towers, lying talking but osama
Tried to calm us wit Obama .. now everybody from Wakanda
Wanna a take trip to Ghana, dashikis no pajamas

Niggas slept on the come up .. yeah it turned me to a monster
Kept praying till I found God, it's a struggle tryna find love
Stopped looking got account up, started thinking fucc the town up
Built the label from the ground up, now kids yelling turn the sound up!

I papay now .. can tie my trouser now
But when I was small lek them I was hard head now
If we not show them the way, how they will learn? (Hmm?)
When man dem kill your Ma and Pa you still vote for them! (Kaiii)

Love my land, but our history is such a shame (Pst)
Liberians gotta work together, stop pointing blame
Remember child soldiers bloody as they cried in pain (Pst)
Doing my best to make sure that they ain't die in vein .. Ugh!

CHORUS -

I love all the Pekin dem
Go to war for the Pekin dem
Waste my blood for the Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

I love all my Pekin dem
Go to war for my Pekin dem
Waste my blood for my Pekin dem
Don't care who shooting I not leaving them

Don't care for the rules
No matter what can't give up on the youth
Pray we all build and show em the tools
Gon keep fighting for em if it's all that I do

Man how can I lose?
God always there when I'm making moves
Be feeling blessed on every path that I choose
For the kids I'll walk on water with these Shoes

Go chakla the whole place Tsk

But don't worry man it up to us
The future leaders of the Country
We will .. we will repair it
We will fix all this yamma yamma this people dem now do

The place too fine man
We gotta show more care, more attention
All this war, fighting everyday fighting fighting fighting!
Since 1989 my man! I was sitting down over there .. war!

That's why I even came over here to America
So I can sit down and get my mind right
So I can be able to put this story together for y'all
You Know?

I'm Civil War Baby for Life!
It don't matter if I'm in New Jersey, Or I'm in London, Or I'm in .. Monrovia
It don't stop
It's always about the L.I.B.

It's always about our beautiful land
Let's bring it back to the way that it was intended to be
All of us united as one
You feel me? Peace!
