Cyril’s Blood

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The more they try to fuck with him, the more he stands his ground He's reading dirty cartoons and playing guitar all day They will not let him finish or make up for lost time But he's sure that he'll make it home fine [Verse 2] His eyes are locked in battle, he will not be talked down He's rolling dice for 6's and drinking palm wine He gave himself a new name, the only one he'll answer to It takes a lion to tame a leopard [Chorus] Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me [Verse 3] There's juju in the village, they put a hex on him You can lead a bull to water, but you cannot make him drink Wife number 1 is sulking but she'll get used to it One woman is never enough [Verse 4] The more they try to hold him, the more he pulls away No time for city people or what the elders say The problem child is golden and it's time to be saved If you've got to fight you must be brave [Chorus] Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me Ya-da-were ya-da-were Cyril's blood is flowing in me [Bridge] The troublemakers in my blood All down my line are on my mother's side [Verse 5] The more they try to fuck with him, the more he stands his ground He's reading dirty cartoons, and playing jacks in the yard They will not let him finish, or make up for lost time But he's sure that he'll make it home fine
