[male vocals] Yeah,
listen
to
the
heartbeat
of
the
streets
It’
s
a
long
road,
but
the
vision
stays
clear
We
keep
moving,
step
by
step
For
Mbere
Pierre,
yeah
I
grew
up
where
the
walls
were
thin
and
the
pockets
light
Looking
at
the
stars,
praying
for
a
different
kind
of
life
My
parents
are
getting
older,
their
hair
turning
into
silver
gray
Watching
them
struggle
through
the
heat
of
the
day
It
weighs
on
my
heart,
knowing
I
can't
do
enough
yet
Stuck
in
the
middle
of
a
promise
and
a
heavy
debt
But
the
fire
inside
keeps
burning,
it
won’
t
ever
cool
But
the
fire
inside
keeps
burning,
it
won’
t
ever
cool
Life
is
the
teacher
and
the
struggle
is
the
school
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
The
sun’
s
gonna
rise,
don’
t
you
ever
ask
why
For
the
ones
who
raised
us,
for
the
love
that
remains
We’
re
breaking
the
silence,
we’
re
breaking
the
chains
Keep
the
faith
steady,
let
the
rhythm
take
control
There’
s
a
beautiful
story
deep
in
your
soul
I
see
the
weariness
in
their
eyes,
it
cuts
like
a
blade
Counting
every
cent,
wishing
for
a
trade
that
we
made
Resources
are
limited,
the
path
isn't
paved
in
gold
But
I’
m
standing
firm,
getting
ready
to
be
bold
I
hold
onto
the
memories
of
when
we
had
so
little
time
But
we
had
each
other,
and
that
was
the
perfect
rhyme
I’
m
grinding
for
the
future,
I’
m
grinding
for
the
grace
To
put
a
real
smile
on
their
tired
old
face
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
The
sun’
s
gonna
rise,
don’
t
you
ever
ask
why
For
the
ones
who
raised
us,
for
the
love
that
remains
We’
re
breaking
the
silence,
we’
re
breaking
the
chains
Keep
the
faith
steady,
let
the
rhythm
take
control
There’
s
a
beautiful
story
deep
in
your
soul
It’
s
not
about
the
riches,
it’
s
about
the
care
It’
s
about
the
burden
that
we
learn
how
to
bear
Step
by
step,
slow
and
steady
we
climb
Giving
back
to
the
ones
who
gave
us
our
time
It’
s
coming,
the
season
of
harvest
is
near
Believe
in
the
journey,
Mbere
Pierre
No
matter
the
distance,
no
matter
the
mountain
high
I’
m
reaching
for
the
peak,
I’
m
reaching
for
the
dry
Land
where
the
harvest
is
plenty
and
the
heart
is
light
We’
re
gonna
make
it
through
the
middle
of
the
night
For
Mbere
Pierre,
let
the
melody
flow
We
reap
exactly
what
we
choose
to
sow
Keep
the
pace
steady,
let
the
spirit
be
free
Becoming
the
person
that
we’
re
destined
to
be
Oh
Mbere
Pierre,
keep
your
head
to
the
sky
The
sun’
s
gonna
rise,
don’
t
you
ever
ask
why
For
the
ones
who
raised
us,
for
the
love
that
remains
We’
re
breaking
the
silence,
we’
re
breaking
the
chains
Keep
the
faith
steady,
let
the
rhythm
take
control
There’
s
a
beautiful
story
deep
in
your
soul
Yeah,
keep
the
faith
For
the
parents,
for
the
future,
for
Mbere
Pierre
We
keep
climbing,
we
keep
shining
It’
s
a
new
day,
stay
strong
Keep
moving
forward,
yeah
Peace
and
progress,
one
step
at
a
time.
