The choice is yours /Who knows it feels it



ever since I was born
l never hear them,
saying we had freedom
all they say is we were
the victims, we are the victims

your grandmother used to cook
in this pot
your mother used to cook in
this pot
your sister used to cook in this pot

now the choice is yours son.
you can't change the past
but you can change the future
see it's all about crimes in this country
see it's all about poverty in this country

who feels it knows it
and who knows it feels it

now the choice is yours son
if you stand for the truth
they will hate you
when ever they fight
it's only the poor who feels it
when ever they fight it's only the chrestars who feels the pain
