Build An Ark

Author: Miguel Valenciano López / Santiago Mijarra Rodríguez
Music: Bass Culture Players

Some want to build an ark
but we are not supposed to be on board
Any Lord is supposed to love us all
Every wall s right about to fall and if it´s not we fight them all
Don´t play God

Archaic moods, obsolete rules
Such heritage comes to the bound if you leave no open gates
There will be no mixed fates
We already know they don´t share no good
We already know they don´t share no shelter
Wisdom is the tool we´ll use to prove
we depend no more on them but on us self respectness
Too late, it is not.
Shall we play this game or take a different guideline back to the start
Too late, it is not.
Prosperity will not be brought by them device.

Some want to build an ark
but we are not supposed to be on board
Any Lord is supposed to love us all
Every wall s right about to fall and if it´s not we fight them all
Don´t play God

It´s not too late.

Don´t play God
You are the new kid on the block.
You can´t give I what you ain´t got.
So keep talking as you talk
Go on, creep to the top. It is rude.
Fed up with them who share no good.
Roots music´s what we know to shoot.
Do some good to you:
love your brother, so your brother loves you too.

Some want to build an ark but nobody can go so far.
We rode alone a long way not to become your lab.
Who said it´s too late goes not far enough.
Get out the way or join the flow, them a gonna bow, gonna bow.

It´s not too late, don´t play God...
