Lyrics

…and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
and every day
They run me down
They hunt me down
They track me down
And they shake me down
I am a fugitive, I always on the run
Like sardines in a tin, heading to the Caribbean night and day
Little did they know, sunshine in Trinbago
I start to flow through the Pacific back to Africa
Masekela meet me down in Siparia, Siparia
Montano meet me down in Soweto, Soweto
Masekela meet me back in Africa, Africa
Montano meet me back in Trinbago, Trinbago
They run me down
They hunt me down
They track me down
And they shake me down
Back to Africa
Masekela meet me down in Siparia, Siparia
Montano meet me down in Soweto, Soweto
Masekela meet me back in Africa, Africa
Montano meet me back in Trinbago, Trinbago
Masekela meet me down in Siparia, Siparia
Montano meet me down in Soweto, Soweto
Masekela meet me back in Africa, Africa
Montano meet me back in Trinbago, Trinbago
I am a warrior, I always on the run
Like sardines in a tin, headed to the Caribbean night and day
Little did they know sunshine in Trinbago
I start to flow through the Pacific back to Africa
Masekela meet me down in Siparia, Siparia
Montano meet me down in Soweto, Soweto
Masekela meet me back in Africa, Africa
Montano meet me back in Trinbago, Trinbago
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
They run me down
Siparia
They track me down
Soweto
Africa
Trinbago
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
Meet me down dey
