Walk through the capital

作曲：Julian Edward Davenport

作词：Julian Edward Davenport

Take a walk through the capital and tell me what you see

Gold on top of the dome overlooking the homeless and the soup kitchen

Walk through the capital

And tell me what you see

Whichever way you want to walk most ways your walk ends up in poverty

I see Louis Vuitton bags swinging from the arms

Of representatives representing me, a young black kid

Brought up in poverty - which brings me to the question

How could they represent me when there were holes up in my soles back in 1993?

Seems to me poverty was designed for me

The paint peeling off the rails over here, gold gleaming off the rails over there

Neatly manicured grass and statues that remind us of our place back in the past

Walk through the capital and witness all the change

And revitalization

I guess they are rebuilding their civilization

Laws being constructed and controlled beyond the double doors

Underneath the green dome

I stroll through the capital

With gold swinging from my neck

Knowing not long ago there could have been a noose on my neck

I walk through the capital

With diamonds on my teeth

Screaming my poetry

Knowing not long ago these words could never be released

Diamonds and gold on my fingers as I write about Corruption

Gripping my pen with aspirations of change often

Most likely the truth leads the bold toward coffins

But clears up paths for the future to clearly walk them
