DAARA J FAMILY - GATES OF FREEDOM Lyrics

Chorus

Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom

Verse 1

Walking along this rocky road

You ll meet friends and foes

Sometimes you re on the ropes

Climbin' these slippery slopes

Many will lie in wait for your death

While others will your success

What ever the struggle

Under never knuckle

Ride on


Chorus

Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom



Verse 2

As i sailed the ways of death

I knew on this makeshift dugout i could gasp for breath

Regrets come last ,

Trapped in the depth of the ocean Tthere was no turning back i had to swallow my emotions

Papa was retired for ever and ever waiting to draw a pension

Mama had to sell dry groundnuts to ease the stressful tension

As the man of the house

I couldn 't just sit there looking at my family living from hand to mouth

Exodus became a must ;

I had to hit the road of the deep blue sea?

Go on a cruisade to defy misery

I had to roam and hope to avoid the coast guard,

I had to roam and hope against death,

I had to roam to the gates of freedom.



Chorus

Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom

Verse 3

Au millieu de nulle part,on se remèmorre,on y croit très fort

Partants depuis les plages de get ndar à yoff

Sous l'oeil du phare de ngor

On atterrit dans ces zones à code barres, biomètries

Flash et fashion on est wanted,pas de tampons ou talons ,

Radars et blutooths nous talonnent

On est venus en paix sans moindre mot de passe

La porte du retour sera peut être un AF718

Business class un frêt sans traces

Destination horizons dakar bamako conakry

Départ avec policiers pour un étranger qui veut se faire hara-kiri


Verse

We re at a point of no return

There s no turning back

For so long we ve been kept in captivity.

Brother brother you just can't give up

You just can't knuckle under

Just cant go under like this

The struggle continues

We ain't never gon' give up

Take your sleeves again

Gotta rise again

Ride on, ride on

Chorus

Ride on, ride to the gates of freedom
