Am proud to African
Proud to be Ugandan
I love my country
But there's something you need to know
We can do better
Am a branch that is part of a big tree
What am really talking about is the small green
Pearl of Africa yes the motherland
If you understand
You can tell just what I mean
Mountains and valleys make sceneries to all the many cultures that are very rich
Indeed there's quite plenty for you to see
But also there's quite a lot that puzzles me
Like how come there's many things that I know
That most kids at my age don't know
If you try to dig deeper then you'll find
Most of them were raised by a single mum
So
So where does that leave the father figure
Where does that leave the man that's supposed to be an example
To the life of a one expected to lead
Another vicious cycle brought about by a breed of
Irresponsible people
They're not men but they're males with an ego
Bruised by the thought of correction
About a need for a change there is no question cause
They weren't taught any better
By their own predecessors
So they walk in the footsteps of their ancestors
Forgetting that nowadays
The ashes burn
Young men just yearn to please their peers
But when she says am pregnant men that fear
Strikes to the heart men
What a heavy blow
Ask them what next
They'll tell you I don't know
I ain't never really had plans for this
Unexpected stuff is just tragedy so
They look for a quicker option
Oh Oh
Here comes an abortion
Doomsday in paradise
The evil all around me is oversize
I need to see a change but it takes a sacrifice
We gotta join hands and stop the compromise
Doomsday in paradise
The evil all around me is oversize
I need to see a change but it takes a sacrifice
We gotta join hands and stop the compromise
In noise we enter this world
But in silence we choose to leave it
Not because we are dead
But because we seize talking about things that matter the most
There's a war silencing humanity
That is not on any page of the newspapers
Back then it took the effort of the whole village
To raise a child cause they were everybody's business
But nowadays it only takes one child
To terrorize a whole village when they go wild
And then we complain to the LC's
And when it gets worse we call the police
Responsibility a word taken lightly
But when I add weight to it
They don't really like me
Everybody let's the sun go down quietly
As those with price tags walk by in the streets
And the chimneys rise with the cigarette sticks
Puffing up clouds and they're making me sick
You can see what am talking bout
We can't live this this way
Men we got to fight hard
Uphold the name
The reputation of our dear motherland yeah
Doomsday in paradise
The evil all around me is oversize
I need to see a change but it takes a sacrifice
We gotta join hands and stop the compromise
Doomsday in paradise
The evil all around me is oversize
I need to see a change but it takes a sacrifice
We gotta join hands and stop the compromise
We can run away from anything
But we can't run away from the consequences of our choices
Right is not for the chosen few
It is for the few that choose to do right
