lyrics

TWO POCKETS

Sky is high, clear this morning
After thunder rain and lightning
Baay Faal Lamp Cheikh Ibrahima Faal is

Loyalty to Bamba Sunnu Mame Ngui, Yea
When these tyrants trying to silence
Can’t be broken, broken
Can’t be broken
Conquer lions
Tame the giants
Tell the conman
Can’t be broken, broken
Can’t be broken

CHORUS

There’s two pockets
One of them is broken
Why everything good we do, goes on their wrong pocket

Play music and heal all men
Play music
Play music and heal all men
Play music

Oh Mister middle man
No more buy two get one free
No more buy two get four free
Oh Mister middle man

Let nature be, no plastics
Let nature be pure and clean
Dread, there’s two pockets

One of them is broken
Why everything good we do, goes on their wrong pocket

Play music and heal all men
Play music
Play music and heal all men
Play music

Who planted the seeds and it reached deep to the ground
Why you want to chop all roots away?
I plant a seed and it reaches deep to the ground
Why you want to take my fruits away?

Sky is high, cleared this morning
After thunder rain and lightning
Baay Faal

Lamp Cheikh Ibrahima Faal is
Loyalty to Bamba
Sunni Mame Ngui, Yea

Can’t be broken, broken, oh no
Can’t be broken, broken, we’ve been working
Broken broken oh no

Can’t be broken, broken, we’ve been workingAy
Baay Faal

Play music
Play music and heal all men
