Lyrics

Kora ne niana
Sou makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana
Kile makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana
Sou makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
We gonna break it till it’s day
Yeah, it was something that you said
You coulda kept it to yourself
Now the horizon is red
This a fire glow
This is fire snow
Watch the embers show
What we could have been
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
That’s the sun right there
Be quiet and listen
It will rise right here
So hold your position
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Out all night
Club light fused with daylight
Shoes too tight
The haze just right
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
That’ll work from back in the day
Speaking of which
Let’s walk to the river
Wash in the water
Like ancient women
Who build a nation
With conversation
Sun rays landing on my land
Every play need a change of plan
Sunrise landing on my land
Every play need a change of plan
Sun rays landing on my land
Kera ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Kera ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Kera ne niana dougou djera ne niana
These days I’m more poly with my gods
Monotheists they been playing with the odds
Historically you cross Europe you get robbed
We in the wake of their destruction
Every bomb still get dropped
I’ve said it before I’ll say it again
This might not help cuz it’s all revenge
Christians get the the sharp end of my pen
As the odds go on earth
I’ve been in heaven
If you live better and you don’t get it
Then you stuck with the devil
Kora ne niana
Sou makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana
Kile makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana
Sou makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kora ne niana
Sou makoroba dougou kora ne niana
Kera ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Sunrise landing on my land
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
Every play need a change of plan
Kora ne niana dougou djera ne niana
