lyrics

V1
I was born into a life already determined, it’s already been known,
I’ve to work, I’ve to sleep, then repeat
Giving me enough that I’ll remain
Just to be a link in their chain
The one that's tight around our necks
& shackled to our arms & to our legs
It keeps pulling us through life
Every which way (but loose)
Until one day we'll be dead
And then our children
It's on their heads

BRIDGE
But with my mothers heart, & my daddy's mind
A new path I shall find
I won't be who they tell me to be
How can I? I've a daughter now, who looks up to me!

CHORUS
& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy

& you & I
will say goodbye
Before one of us
Shall die

& in this life
You must decide
Do you fall?
Or survive

& in this world
You're either or
(An)African
Or a Cowboy

V2
My brother, he stands tall
It ain’t been easy, I recall
Silly little boys, they took your toys
They took your name, & left you pain
Ignorant fucks, I wished them dead
So I just pissed on their heads
Look at you now, I couldn’t be prouder
King of your castle, you heart beats stronger
Brother, you won! Mother, our love!
