Refuge Lyrics & Chords By Pompi

They say, "you better look before you reap!"
But life often don't give a hole for you to peep.
We're all hoping - we're not a victim of defeat.
Caught up in the life cycle,
At the bottom of a chain - gotta exercise power.
Conquest is the order of the day.
Ni - TAMANGA - everybody wanna get paid.
Ona Bana - and another one is on the way.
But I'mma hustle up for us,
I have been hunting all day.
But I wonder - "would we still beat destiny,
If the word of the world got the best of me?"
Would you look at your ring with disappointment?
Or would pick up my arms and come and join in?
Like a soldier - when the days are colder;
Would I know my tears got a home on your shoulder?
Would you keep my heart exposed to the vultures -
When the enemy is approaching?
When the world is too much;
And I feel out of touch.
Can I run to you for refuge, baby?
Naine nimalema,
This rock that you see -
Cannot always be -
Will you be strong for me, yeah?
Behind every successful man is a stronger woman,
As I am approaching success;
I am assuming you'll be patient.
Embracing me at the low times.
See potential in me, even when I got knocked downs.
If the worlds tempt you;
Saying, "you can do better."
With the emotions all aside - you gonna know better.
That the man of your dreams;
Actually a dream killer.
"Love is all good but your stomach needs filling,
"And you cannot have love for your dinner,
"Sankha wa kang'ono - see a certified spinner,
"What's love if it can't keep you warm in the winter?"
Would you boldly reply with your chin up;
Saying in my defense;
"You ain't making sense don't lecturer me,
"History says: WE GONNA LEARN FROM HISTORY,
"I choose to be different: I LEARN FROM MY MISERY,
"Together through the pain, and together through the victory."
That's a good thing,
Cause you can't remember respecting a house that you never laid a brick in.
Not a cool thing, I got faith in the man.
So I ain't going nowhere chasing the real big.
(Speaking words, that will move me;
I (Can depend on you)
So tender and smoothing;
I (Can depend on you)
You make me feel better,
You purify - my love - for you;
Is a burning fire) x 2
