Goodenough Mashego Give me Life Lyrics:
give me life

you couldn't look me in the eyes
'ven when they were moses' copper snake
your guilt deflects your perspective
give me no rolled zol nor beer i just need your attention
listen,
this ghetto is ours & it's losing its soul
it got demons running amok it needs exorcism
tired of the things you give & later take away
give me life man i'll eternally shout your name

my dreadnought sliced a glacier see me bleeding for my ends
ain't no single soul can claim they ever held my hand
i been walking on the shadow of the valley of death
with the lord & my bayonet as my only saviours
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/Y1O ]
i ain't seen no halo but i seen love crucified on a stake
witnessed the ultimate sacrifice blood flowed like brent crude
not for the bearer but a bunch of sinful ghetto angels

what currency do we use to buy forgiveness?
after we lost the map & compass to the house of the lord
prayer alone got power but it's wholly verbal
faith without actions is as dead as the rock of ages
talk is cheap we need to bargain with our breaths
value the gift our ability to inhale oxygen
ensure solace for animals they sinned no one

taking hostages never my priority 'til they murdered my friend
got tired of shedding tears now they fall inside
that you see less of my salty does not mean i hurt less
can give life to my brother if i could rewind the times
take those long strolls on the east coast beaches again
committing no sins sharing our simple ghetto stories
the only thing i need give me life after i'm gone
