I just love this man's music.
Heavy Foot, by Mon Rovia
Do you hear the sound of a bell?
Did you wish your family well
Times ain’t the same in the neighbourhood
Got the parents all going through hell
Cause the guns keep flying off the self
[Verse 2]
Do you see the man on the street?
Just fighting for a meal to eat
You can write him off as a lunatic
But it could've been you or me
If we didn't ever find our feet
[Chorus]
Love me now
Hold me down
And the government's staying on heavy foot
And they try to keep us all down
No they're never gonna keep us all down
[Verse 3]
Do you see the birds in the cage?
On the highway working likе slaves
It's a con, it's a rouse, it's a gaslight
Ain't it funny, how fare wе've came
For them to go and change the name
Born in Liberia, adopted by Christian missionaries and taken from a war-torn country to the US, he began journaling and dealing with his survivor's guilt, then channeled it into incredible music. Here's a great interview.
