Lyrics Gyptian – What Are We Fighting For
Text:
Give me another or two
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
What are we fighting for?
Aye
Now tell me, what are we fighting for?
Is it for the pretty land, house and car?
Every ghetto youth’s another superstar
We were bought from the motherland from far
Teach the youths rights, don’t teach them wrong
Let them know they are the new generation
Oh, protect them from frustration
Let them know they must be wise and be strong
Aye, what are we fighting for?
Is it for the pretty land, house and car?
Every ghetto youth’s another superstar
We were bought from the motherland from far, aye
The youths, dem in the street crying for hunger
While they need is simple food and somewhere to shelter
Is there a Prime Minister?
Instead the problem is always getting worser
What are we fighting for?
Is it for the pretty land, house and car?
Every ghetto youth’s another superstar
We were bought from the motherland from far
Rich or poor, every man wants to earn
I hope soon this selfish court will adjourn
And each and everyone will love the term
And so we will always know
What life is for
(What life is for)
Because if one and all has to be a superstar, aye
What are we fighting for?
Is it for the pretty land, house and car?
Every ghetto youth’s another superstar
We were bought from the motherland from far
Teach the youths rights, don’t teach them wrong
Let them know they are the new generation
Oh, protect them from frustration
Let them know they must be wise and be strong
What are we fighting for?
(Is it for the pretty land, house and car?)
Tell me, I don’t know
No, I don’t know, aye
I said the youths, dem in the street crying for hunger
While they need is simple food and somewhere to shelter
Is there a Prime Minister?
Instead the problem is always getting worser-serse, oh yeah
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Probably a woman will make a change
Whoa-oh, yeah
So tell me, what are we fighting for?
