I remember as a child, living in Liberia
Growing up a youth dread down south inna Kenia
Inspiration and vibes from these places
Different cultures, menthalities and faces
As a young man I travelled round Egypt`s land
Giving thanks and praises inna Nyabhingi chant well
I learned to see humanity as one race
Yet I had to witness so much racial disgrace

Capitalism is an endless journey
With endless, destination sadness
A poor man can`t afford an attorney
Not rights inna regime they call democracy

I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open

I always wondered how the poor people in this world
Can smile while suffering starvation
And how the rich people in this world only speak of
Human kapitulation

Capitalism is an endless journey
With endless, destination sadness
A poor man can`t afford an attorney
Not rights inna regime they call democracy

I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open

War is a moneymaker
Making the rich get only richer
For them war is an economical cure
Leaving behind the masses of the poor

I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
I can see with my eyes wide open
