Lagos Slums - Brazzaville[00:00:00]
He's had bicycles and sons[00:00:23]
He's had salted fish and dark rum[00:00:29]
Now his days are almost done[00:00:35]
In the Lagos slums[00:00:39]
Was a farmer for a while[00:00:47]
Growing plantains by the coastline[00:00:53]
And some said he had a smile[00:00:58]
Like a movie star[00:01:03]
La ah La ah ah ah[00:01:10]
La ah La ah ah ah[00:01:22]
Met his wife one Friday night[00:01:34]
At a dance hall near the train tracks[00:01:40]
And his heart soared like a kite[00:01:46]
In the evening light[00:01:50]
Worked the oil fields once[00:01:57]
Saved some money for his family[00:02:03]
Built a house near Eden's Point[00:02:09]
Where they raised their boys[00:02:14]
La ah La ah ah ah[00:02:21]
La ah La ah ah ah[00:02:33]
Says it's hard to be a man[00:02:45]
Works and still can't feed his children[00:02:51]
But he does the best he can[00:02:56]
In the New World Plan[00:03:01]
We're all forgotten[00:03:09]
This road leads nowhere[00:03:20]
We're all forgotten[00:03:32]
This road leads nowhere[00:03:44]
