Nate Ft. Logic, Mohammad Yayha & Jay-Jay - Could Be You (Lyrics)





[Chorus - Jay-Jay:]
You should help a brother when he falls,
And so too a sister when she calls,
Cause you never know it could be you
That could be you

When you see the poor you pass them by,
You only care about your own life,
But you never know that could be you,
It could be you, you

[Verse 1 - Logic:]
Listen, people living in the west will never understand,
About the real struggles faced as a poor man,
It could be you who is living in Afghanistan,
To see the soldiers come and kill your people on your land,
It could be you demonstrating on Yemen on the streets,
It could be you who has to fight for their basic needs,
It could be you fighting to defend what you believe,
It could be you the same way that it could be me,
But we are still oppressed even though we’re kinda lucky,
Little kids bursting over bucky just to get the money,
But if they only really understood what money does,
It puts hate in a place where there might be love,
I don’t even have to think when I write this stuff,
It’s easy to see how they overpower us,
Cause they win if we have to go to them for help,
And they’re smiling while they watch us kill our self

[Chorus - Jay-Jay:]
You should help a brother when he falls,
And so too a sister when she calls,
Cause you never know it could be you
That could be you

When you see the poor you pass them by,
You only care about your own life,
But you never know that could be you,
It could be you, you

[Verse 2 - Mohammad Yahya:]
(Mohammad Yahya, check it …)

We’re dis-attached from the world living in our bubble,
Oblivious to the struggle of those living in trouble,
You don’t really know the meaning of a daily struggle,
Till’ your home gets bulldozed into dust and rubble,
How would I feel if it was me that had his limbs blown,
M’lamo Mozambican school children on their way home,
At night time they go to bed but they never dream,
They’re kept awake hearing daddy fight and mummy scream,
We’re too concerned with our blackberry phone,
To think about the lives lost in Sierra Leone,
The (?) in Western Sudan, will rape your daughter then burn your whole land,
I write these bars for the struggle of my people,
From Congo, to Tibet, Palestine to Mogadishu,
Enveloped in a war so I wish that I could reach you,
Bring the power to the people and eradicate this issue,
Cause are leaders are corrupt and way too superficial

[Chorus - Jay-Jay:]
You should help a brother when he falls,
And so too a sister when she calls,
Cause you never know it could be you
That could be you

When you see the poor you pass them by,
You only care about your own life,
But you never know that could be you,
It could be you, you

[Verse 3 - Nate:]
(Yo, listen)

Lemme take you to a place where everybody knows,
Some people call this place hell but to me it’s home,
U.K. is where I grew, it’s in my flesh and bones,
I was born and breed here so yeah I got a right to moan,
Its part of me fam, and it can not be removed,
I love this place but the history i disapprove,
I try and listen to every single one of you,
And I always try and put myself up inside your shoes,
So I can overstand exactly where you’re coming from,
Cause if I treat you with disrespect then that is wrong,
And if no one helps no one I guess that is long,
That’s why we made you aware, that’s why we wrote this song,
That’s why I give respect cause I want it in return,
We’re all stuck on this planet so we might as well learn,
And stick together, cause unity can’t be defeated,
Always treat others how you expect to be treated

[Chorus - Jay-Jay:]
You should help a brother when he falls,
And so too a sister when she calls,
Cause you never know it could be you
That could be you
