Fátima

Picture the morning, taste and devour

We rise early, pace up the hour

Streets is rustling, hustling they heart out

You can't have the sweet with no sour

Spices, herbs, the sweets and the flower

She came out precisely the hour

Clouds disappear, the sun shows the power

No chance of a probably shower

I feel in love with my neighbor's daughter

I wanted to protect and support her

Never mind, I'm just 12 and a quarter

I had dreams beyond our border

Is it true when they say all you need is just love?

(Is it true?)

What about those who have loved

Only to find that it's taken away?

And why do they say that the children

Have rights to be free?

(To be free)

What about those who I've known

Whose memories still lives inside of me?

Fatima, what did the young man say

Before he stole you away on that fateful day?

Fatima

Fatima, did he know your name

Or the plans we made

To go to New York City?

Fatima

And after school, we studied the lessons

I asked God to slow down the seconds

He does the opposite, that's what I'm guessin'

I better chill and count my own blessings

Fatima, Fatima, what is the matter?

How come you ain't come up the ladder?

So we can be like there is no tomorrow

Damn, you gon' make me wait 'til tomorrow

She spoke Arabic and Swahili,

She'd say, "Upendo anta Habibi"

You so bright, you sound like my TV

Then one day, she never came to meet me

Is it true when they say all you need is just love?

(Is it true?)

What about those who have loved

Only to find that it's taken away?

And why do they say that the children

Have rights to be free?

(To be free)

What about those who I've known

Whose memories still lives inside of me?

Fatima, what did the young man say

Before he stole you away on that fateful day?

Fatima

Fatima, did he know your name

Or the plans we made

To go to New York City?

Fatima

Fatima, what did the young man say

Before he stole you away on that fateful day?

Fatima

Fatima, did he know your name

Or the plans we made

To go to New York City?

Fatima

If beauty was in the eyes of beholder

How come everyone hushed when she walked by?

How come girls would look just to scold her?

How come the angel wanted to hold her?

Fatima, Fatima, I'm in America

I make rhymes and I make 'em delicate

You would have liked the parks in Connecticut

You would have said I'm working to hard again

Damn you shooter, damn you the building

Whose walls hid the blood she was spillin'

Damn you country so good at killin'

Damn you feelin' for persevering

Is it true when they say all you need is just love?

(Is it true?)

What about those who have loved

Only to find that it's taken away?

And why do they say that the children

Have rights to be free?

(To be free)

What about those who I've known

Whose memories still lives inside of me?

Fatima, what did the young man say

Before he stole you away on that fateful day?

Fatima

Fatima, did he know your name

Or the plans we made

To go to New York City?

Fatima

Fatima, what did the young man say

Before he stole you away on that fateful day?

Fatima

Fatima, did he know your name

Or the plans we made

To go to New York City?

Fatima

Now I just want to make it clear

I don't want you to shed a tear

'Cause this here is a celebration

We're not mourning

We're celebrating so baby don't cry

Please don't let the tears fall

(Fatima)

So don't cry
