Sohnn - Freedom...the Price lyrics
Johnny was a good man…. Johnny was a good man Johnny was a good man Johnny was a good man I remember the day, day Johnny had to husltle to survive in same…game…yeah Johnny had to battle to maintain his status Johnny had to lose his life like an apostle Imprisoned in the dungeon It was the same day, he had to kill a man He had to take a life to save…another life…life He had to kill the man, to save his family, dying in hunger and pain, Johnny had to kill a man…man…man I remember the time, he pulled the trigger, right into the brain, The brain of the enemy his blood to drain The blood to ooze and flow and mix with the rain And with the blood flow he lost the information It was the same time little Johnny had to beg….yeah living in the streets… trying to survive… begging for the bread and crying for his life When the sun set and the moon shone little Johnny went to bed hunger and painh, poverty and strife, prostitution and crime.. He only wished he were dead But…Johnny was a good man….. Hook Out in the states they call it murder Everybody fighting and things getting tougher The cries of the mothers and daughters getting louder The price of freedom to attain forever Out in the streets they call it terror Everybody dying and the toll getting higher Families are crying and trying even harder The price of freedom to attain forever Freedom has to come from the blood of the brave Freedom has to come from the streets, otherwise… There will be no peace, People will end up in the streets, Fighting for justice, fighting for the peace, Fighting for the things that belong to them I remember seeing mothers and daughters, sons and they fathers Running in the streets, looking for peace, Bullet wounds in they feet, they can’t run no more The only strength is the strength from deep within Gun shots in the air, police everywhere School children running from the East to the West Stone in they hands, fighting for freedom Courage in they hearts, fighting for freedom Some of them are dead, everybody looks ahead To the joy of the freedom, freedom in the hearts Freedom of the future generations, living in the motherland No more occupation, this is our motherland But Johnny was a good man Johnny was a good man Hook I just wanna thank u Lord that I know you I just wanna thank you for what I been thru But u never let me down, u never let us down When the mother was crying having lost her son Who was running in the streets he was shot by the gun Sometimes I feel like the Lord might be sleeping Turn the lights on and see the people weeping In times of weakness u say we strong But we see the people dying, what’s gone wrong It’s been a long time aint nothing changed Pain, poverty, suffering, all the same And I hear them saying, the devil is to blame But a little longer in time, freedom will come For now We gonna fight, we gonna conquer, we gonna stand for what is right Just spread your wings and fly away As you Visualize the end of pain and death, Yeah Johnny was a good ma… Hook |
