Against the rain(reign)

Holding up a tent against the rain

Buckets flooding in try to save the food

Wetness pouring in push the rain  to the river

Take me to your servant pull up bozi you’ll get cramps in the water

Morning rises rain realizes and recedes

Dancing with good music

Cry again and cry again feel the rhythm
Of Kinshasa thank you for your attention

It’s the other friends turn keep the rain away

Here it comes again wring out my wet clothes

Wind howling tarps flying away

Hold on tight can’t sing and dance right now

Riding the dragons breath holding on for dear life

Hole in the boat with hundreds on it

Stand up stand up have something to say

What we’ve become it’s heartbreaking

What do we do to get them to listen to us

Walk on crutches mercy ship of misery

Welcome again thank you
Living room 2 bedrooms

Plan your action it’s a tough city

We’re United don’t lose heart

Amputees sewing  with their mouth

Social papa never stole government money

Tell us about his 6 day war almost 19 years
Fighting on Congolese soil

UN condemned Uganda
But 6600 bombs fell on us
Why is the UN here if not to defend the weak

Please brothers and sisters think before you vote
Opposition candidate elected and we sing

Get up and walk our time has come
get up and walk our time has come
