Blues for the Oromo {Blues for the Horn Remix} by Ripple Effect Project Lyrics
{Verse 1-Ayub}
In a fair and factual form
I want to tell you a few things before I conform
To the popular belief of where the Oromo are born
How's the horn?
In Ethiopia, who's sitting on the throne?
How 'bout the young
Do they still have great sincere, like the depth of the lung
Some Oromos are nomads, did they graze well this year?
From the news to what I know, the growin' gap ain't clear
They stealin' their earth, the news till hasn't conversed
They still waiting on change like a new moon's birth
Does the nile river run parallel with the Oromos' blood?
Or did they they fight off the plight of the colonized mind?
In the rainy season do the Oromos still bury seeds?
And get taken with like me scared of leavin'
How are the idrens, the women and orphans torn?
I wish 'em luck in their struggle
And hope they make peace like a married couple
Is it fair that elders must abandon their old homes?
This conflict can make Ethiopia fall like Rome
Oromos are protesting for peace, thats why they're yelling Shalom
When the breeze will come and trees will bend
And the people would say look what it leads to with sin
And the air was violent
And our care was silent
And the only law they have is made by tyrants
The gov. tryin' to kill 'em like viruses
They're aiming at their heads and shooting their irises
Protesters are yelling put away the arms
And they're against the dispossession of family owned farms
How is the Nile and other seas?
Are they ruined because of the poisonous deeds?
{Hook- Daud}
This is my blues for the Oromo, for the Oromo
This is my blues for the Oromo, for the Oromo
This is my blues for the Oromo, for the Oromo
This is my blues for the Oromo, for the Oromo
{Verse 2- Mo}
So who's dead and who's alive?
Did the rates multiply?
Did the Oromo fight the gov. with their minimum supply?
Did the gov. abort the wars and for supports the peace
To promote the disease and easing creased divorce did peace Depart to leaking pores untreated lead to the bleeding corpse
What of the kind and good, can they still, laugh intensely
And what of the playwrights, reflection in the scapes of great sights
Revolution from power's the writings of brave fights
They make a mockery of the struggle like hollywood plans do
And I swear to god I wish the killers hell, burn and bake too
And I curse the funders who instigated you worse
And I curse the Russians who impregnated the kalashnikov birth
And hurts you never wake and see the destiny
It's like the conflict of self, submerged in satanic hate
Look at 'em, yo! look at 'em, look ,em dead in the eyes
Don't flinch, you are an accomplice to great lies
I can't even begin to express how breakdown and stressed
I gotta live to tell, give me a bullet-proof vest
{Hook}
{Verse 3- Daud}
This situation needs public awareness
Lets teach the world like its our apprentice
There are 40 mil Oromos in the last census
The killing ain't fair and that's a consensus
Lets tell the world from Dubai to Memphis
Never stop telling, stay relentless
