I trusted them! The air was so warm The night was so cool and then the wine dropped Then we chose to run away I never thought I’d go astray Believe me now! My friends say to me We run down the path to get away, quickly A different side of the city A little dark and gritty I say to them! It’s getting so late They comfort me with their sweet songs I don’t know how I’ve come this far The clouds eclipse the stars We are your friends! There’s no need to fear We’ll come back with you now to your place They say we could not be apart For it would break their hearts Now I see clear My lesson’s learned Don’t trust what you get If it seems too good to be true Turn and forget Our time is short Don’t waste your breath On raising sunsets There’s nothing left to comfort you Just pain and regret We found our way! Back to my room My friends all stand and loom around me Then they joke and laugh Let’s take a photograph The hours pass! My eyes are so weak My head hits the bed no turning back I say they should stay with me No one to disagree Then there was hush! My head filled with fuzz The room was a womb, I threw my cares away I could not stay awake Sleep was my mistake Now I see clear My lesson’s learned Don’t trust what you get If it seems too good to be true Turn and forget Our time is short Don’t waste your breath On raising sunsets There’s nothing left to comfort you Just pain and regret The morning glow! The sun hit the wall My eyes search the room my senses dull Have they gone to a cafe How long have they been away Where are my things?! My wallet, my phone The watch that my uncle gave to me I didn’t see deceit Now my journey’s bittersweet Now I see clear My lesson’s learned Don’t trust what you get If it seems too good to be true Turn and forget Our time is short Don’t waste your breath On raising sunsets There’s nothing left to comfort you Just pain and regret Now I see clear My lesson’s learned Don’t trust what you get If it seems too good to be true Turn and forget They left me here With nothing but Passport and ticket Now onto Nigeria To seek employment Yeah, I know… look, I didn’t know… it’s just Look, I thought they were really cool… can you? OK, can you just call the bank, please? OK, thank you

Adjebutter 03:36
Ajebutter! Go out and work all day Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle Ajebutter! There’s no holiday Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play Ajebutter! Caught up here all day Ajebutter! Get up every morning Hostel I must clean Go up in the evening Wash the sheets on thirteen In the daily grind and push You have no power here In the daily grind and push You have no power here In the daily grind and push You have no power here, la la la la Got no money so far Boss he sleeps all day, all night Guests don’t clean up nothing, no way Why’s my money delayed? I have to clean the toilet I have to mop the floor I have to fix the table I have to serve the food Sweep the floor Make the coffee Take the money I take my food I eat my lunch Fix the sink Clean the desk I eat my dinner I work for free Work for nothing They laugh at me They laugh at me! They say I’m slow They say I’m lazy They say I’m spoiled They say I’m Ajebutter! Money’s all gone Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle Ajebutter! There’s no holiday Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play Ajebutter! Caught up here all day Ajebutter! Ugh, sweating and working and working all day Postman should have been here by now It’s been weeks, and I still haven’t gotten my card Thought I’d be on a sunny beach by now Just waiting and waiting, no money, just waiting Ajebutter! Ajebutter! It’s the working man’s way Ajebutter! In the concrete jungle Ajebutter! Africa’s Hollywood struggle Ajebutter! There’s no holiday Ajebutter! No time to laugh and play Ajebutter! Caught up here all day Ajebutter! Ahh!

I am the Man 05:37
Welcome to amazing Madagascar! Jungles, beaches, diving and more! Madagascar is a dream for outdoor lovers And half the fun is getting to all these far out locations! I am the man, I can do anything Nothing now can stand in my way I am the man, I can do anything I roam the world, now seizing my day I am the man, I can do anything My card’s arrived, now I’ve got cash I am the man, I can do anything Cross the river, I know we won’t crash Here we stand again A raging river needs crossing You think you know better?! A leaping lemur’s grin The heart of a crocodile is beating You think you know better?! It’s a deadly sin To bite off more while you’re still eating You think you know better?! Boat driver won’t go in White waters storming, life’s too fleeting You think you know better?! I am the man, I can do anything Nothing now can stand in my way I am the man, I can do anything I roam the world, now seizing my day I am the man, I can do anything Nothing now can stand in my way I am the man, I can do anything I roam the world, now seizing my day No way! You think I ain’t seen this before? No way! Had rattlesnakes outside my door No way! Rode rivers that can bite and roar No way! Just cross, it ain’t that far to shore Here we stand again A raging river needs crossing You think you know better?! A leaping lemur’s grin The heart of a crocodile is beating You think you know better?! It’s a deadly sin To bite off more while you’re still eating You think you know better?! Boat driver won’t go in White waters storming, life’s too fleeting You think you know better?! OK! We set out for the distant shore OK! I’ll pay you double, maybe more OK! Slappin’ against the river’s roar OK! Waves crashing, boat can’t take no more In the roaring silence Floating helplessly Kissed by drops of water As the boat recedes All my life it flashes Back in slow motion And I know who I am You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything Waters too rough, get smacked broadside You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything You sputter ashore, soaking wet pride You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything Strong swimmers can still sink and die You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything You know no one leaves this world alive You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything Waters too rough, get smacked broadside You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything You sputter ashore, soaking wet pride You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything Strong swimmers can still sink and die You ain’t the man, you can’t do everything You know no one leaves this world alive Ugh, hey! I’m tring to eat here! Can you put your seat up?!
