Streets of Arklow - Van Morrison

How can I not be happy all day? I'm from the streets from Africa If you put speakers in my mind I bet it would sound like (whoa whoa whoa!)

I'm from the streets from Africa Even if I don't have no money My nigga Tundi buy the bar Back home they call me Oluwa Burna Cause I'm so awesome, you should know Always be on my Speed Darlington You know me, I'm no regular Bangdadadang when I step in the room The ground beneath you shaking up Soon as your wifey seen me and my crew She said you're breaking up 18 karats on my earlobes Make it hard to put on earphones Haters talking, I don't hear though With the game, I'm like Carmello Pull up on girls like hello, whoa whoa I'm Fela Kuti with the hoes Shirt off like I ain't got no clothes Cause where I'm from there ain't no snow So I refrigerate my flow Shout Luciano, that's my bro How can I not be happy all day?

Don't put me in your dreams Don't bet your money on me You're backing a loser if you do I'm just wasting your time On the streets of Galilee If you think you see something in me And there's something that you can believe It's your own illusion that you see You're just lost in the dark On the streets of Galilee So when you wake up in the morning And your sheets are covered in sweat I'm somewhere you don't wanna be I'm in the gutter and the bones Of the streets of Galilee Well, I don't grovel and I don't pander Give a fuck what you say I don't need you, you don't need me I think we both should disappear Onto the streets of Galilee Never to be forgotten on the streets of Galilee

I got demons, I got demons I got demons, I got demons I close my eyes and talk to God And pray that you can save my soul, mmm I look to you to shine a light Before the darkness takes a hold I won't break And I won't run This time I won't be afraid oooh I got demons I got demons tryna get to me But they'll never take me down I'm only human Underneath my skin the cuts run deep I just need a little time to work 'em out (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) To work them out (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I got demons (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) Yeah I can hear them now and then When I try to make a stand They try their best to pull me under That's when I reach for your hand Never bow 'cause we're all kings We are rulers of our minds, yes we are I know that there's an angel watching over me I see your wings are open wide I won't break And I won't run This time I won't be afraid oooh We're only saved when we, come undone It's just the way that we're made oooh I got demons I got demons tryna get to me But they'll never take me down, no I'm only human Underneath my skin the cuts run deep I just need a little time to work them out I'm only human (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I just need a little time to work them out (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I got demons (I got demons, I got demons, I got demons) I got demons (I got demons)
