Lyrics
Seen some babies on a magazine page
Face up in an early grave
Who's responsible for this masquerade?
Hunger killeing them with aids..
Lost my best friend in his early days
Lying face up in the grave
Still not learning from his mistakes made
Ever locking down the cage
Counting down his days, oh ho
Oh, ho, ho
Counting down his days, oh ho
Oh, ho, ho
Isnt it clear to see, what is happening to me?
Wonder if you can see, what is happening to me, oh no?
Counting down my days,
Oh, ho, ho
Counting down my days, oh ho
Oh, ho, ho
Counting down my days
Drugs and violence bringing my nation to shame
Fast track to an early grave
Teenage pregancy is not about rage
Fingers pointing - who's to blame?
My momma working on her youthful age
maximising minimum wage
Counting down her days
oh ho ho
Counting down her days
Isnt it clear to see, what is happening to me?
Wonder if you can see, what is happening to me, oh no?
Counting down my days
oh ho ho
Counting down my days
oh ho ho
Counting down my days
