Choonkie Malete - Our Maker Lyrics

Le le le le le le le le
Hi ya he he hi ya ha
Le le le le le le le le le le le le le le le
Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah
Hi ya he he hi ya ha

I'm only 17
Caught in the grip of addiction
Lost to the bottle a couple of years ago
I'm only 17
I did not wanna end up this way
Can't see a future for me though
So I think I'll end it all tonight
Please know I tried
Whatever's on the other side
It can't be worse than this
See I went to church last night
Thought maybe God could help
But the preacher went on about
His million dollar crib
I tried
Looks like I'm invisible to everyone
I tried I tried

Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah yeah
Helele Helele Helele Hiye Hiye Hiyeee
Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah yeah yeah
Hi Hi Hi Hiii Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi
Coz we seem blind to the needs of those in pain
(Blind to the needs of those in pain)
Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah

I'm only 24
I just got ripped out of my body
Took one to the head and another to the chest
I'm only 24
I did not wanna end up this way
I've been betrayed and caught off guard
A venomous snake in my backyard
A Judas in the crew
I didn't see
This is so cold it hurts
I called him friend
I didn't know
Someone should have told you
The truth always comes to light
Body in a shallow grave
For money you took my life
I pray
I pray for my Momma's sake they find me
I pray I pray

Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah yeah
Helele Helele Helele Hiye Hiye Hiyeee
Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah yeah yeah
Hi Hi Hi Hiii Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi Hi
To wolves in sheepskin life is cheap
(To wolves in sheepskin life is cheap)
Maybe we've forgotten our Maker yeah

(State of Emergency State of Emergency
We're in a
State of Emergency)
How did we end up in this place
Cold-blooded killers on the loose
(State of Emergency State of Emergency
We're in a
State of Emergency)
Protectors turn into predators
A grown man sees a lover in a child
(State of Emergency State of Emergency
We're in a
State of Emergency)
The music don't even feed our souls
Honesty's rare it breaks my heart
(State of Emergency State of Emergency
We're in a
State of Emergency)
Desensitized to everything
We keep making excuses for it all
Remember the Maker yeah

In all you do in all you say
(In all you do in all you say)
Remember the Maker

Remember the Maker yeah
In everything you do in everything you say
In all you do in all you say
Remember the Maker yeah
