Lyrics Xavier Naidoo

Xavier Naidoo

I'd Be Waiting

I'd be waiting- waiting for a lifetime I'm sure

I'd be waiting- waiting for a lifetime and more

If that serious alliance lies ahead

Let every necessary word be said

Remembering the blood that we've shed

Keep it mind that there are things we must forget

Beware of tragedy left right and center

Don't allow hell on earth to enter

Get rid off all the damage in your head

Remember there's an enemy in your bed

The jokes on me for sure

But then wishes and hopes come true for sure

It's you for sure, out of the blue for sure

It's you for your past rich and poor towards

That hard encore

I've walked on the african sands like the kosan

The original man from lands sacred

Battled zulu tribes for the passion of word play and swam

The zambezi butt naked

Seen the sun rise in the east and set in the west

Plotted stars charts and directions for god to manifest

From the peaks of the pyramids I left tags in dark gaves

That gave humanity clues on how to star gaze

I've seen a snake she'd it's skin like the seasons and change

I've seen world rearange in a flash

Now for this cash they rape our lands strictly for wealth

It's left me stranded in a spiritual realm all by myself

Headed to mecca I stopped and spoke swahm with tribes

Chanted native dialects over the hill I felt vibes

Threw my hands in the sky then beat them hard on a

Drum over the horizon I waited for freedom to come

But the ships just keep sailing and whips just keep cracking

I wonder where I am so I begin back tracking through the

Solomonic dynasty I read the kebra tr took mt swift

Across the mains like I was riding on a zebra the ashante

Draped me in robes or royalty the shona tribe blessed me-acapo
