Future Shade

Lyrics

[Chorus: Urthboy, Ozi Batla & [?]] Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring You may not like the harvest or what the fruits bring You don't own this thing, you don't own this garden When you shake the tree down, you don't know what you started You who plants the seed ('cause you don't know what you started) Never to enjoy the shade (no, you don't know what you started) The tree that brings the change (no, you don't know what you started) Your work is not in vain [Verse 1: Urthboy] Now we just want you to fly The feeling of freedom when you democratise Join us up in the sky, boy, that means that you're alive Trust us on it, crack some eggs to make the omelette Better that than bomb it, baby, this is springtime, look at what we got potted Tree will bear what we wanted I hope, the plant that we install is my vote If not then sniper and murder she wrote, got it [Verse 2: Ozi Batla] Locked in, your type of awe seems shocking With a headshot on a head of state, your peace can devastate Our peace can't wait for a moment, thought we owned it The truth hurt, ruffled the hem of a blue skirt Then forgotten back to the well to drink the poison water Freedom doesn't begin in springtime like it ought to [Chorus: Urthboy, Ozi Batla & [?]] Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring You may not like the harvest or what the fruits bring You don't own this thing, you don't own this garden When you shake the tree down, you don't know what you started You who plants the seed ('cause you don't know what you started) Never to enjoy the shade (no, you don't know what you started) The tree that brings the change (no, you don't know what you started) Your work is not in vain [Verse 3: Urthboy] And God knows that we'll be righteous When were taming the tigris, do you get it? We get it whether or not, we don't care if we get invited We're dealing with tyrants, hamas surprises Yes, they won, still we will not let them democratise it And the uprisings and who to pick a side with Do a deal or fight with, what we want is sidekicks and what we have is violence [Verse 4: Ozi Batla] You labelled freedom fighters insurgents in Guantanamo When justice ain't been just since geronimo Cross-border raids to demonstrate the rule's fluid Which is pretty much the same way our supreme leaders do it So tell me, what kind of enduring freedom is this? That leaves a million bleeding or buried beneath the grit [Bridge: [?] & [?]] Then there comes a day When the ground work was laid Our hearts and heads were strong We couldn't wait any longer Then there comes a night When the dark steals the light The cycles will go on You made us wait even longer You who plants the seed (you made us wait even longer) You made us wait even longer The tree that brings the change (you made us wait even longer) You made us wait even longer [Verse 5: Ozi Batla & Urthboy] The moon will only rise when the people so desire Yet the sun will fall on an empire, defending her pride Yo, we're tired of the masks, people tired of the zig zags And we're sick of the myth of the good guy, who is that? Your flag is up in flames, the claims of liberators are bitter statements When on their say so, planes deliver their payload And on the ground the people rage, they're on the phone and tweeting change The page they're writing into history ain't the same, they want to sign their name there For the masses gathered in the main square Shouting down the despot, and crowding round the death squad A day so many dreamed of, remember what the seed was The struggle and the sacrifice to keep the hope alive When they [Chorus: Urthboy, Ozi Batla & [?]] Planted in the summer, blooming in the spring You may not like the harvest or what the fruits bring You don't own this thing, you don't own this garden When you shake the tree down, you don't know what you started You who plants the seed ('cause you don't know what you started) Never to enjoy the shade (no, you don't know what you started) The tree that brings the change (no, you don't know what you started) Your work is not in vain You who plants the seed Never to enjoy the shade The tree that brings the change Your work is not in vain
