0:27I asked my mother

0:52But don't you know that mo mother
0:58Don't you know that we
1:00We can't stop the violence no
1:06Because the war is not over
1:12Until you can feel love

1:17But I smell gunpowder pow
1:21My brother's been dead ever since
1:27I didn't beleive it but when I saw him I was convinced

1:40I headed for revenge in the city of Port Au Prince
1:45Screaming bro brother
