about

The lyrics says it all ...

lyrics

Conflict

No more pair to tear,

Be in haste to hate,

Quick to prick,

Hearts to hurt,

Cause despair without repair.

No more must light be hidden from sight

And might turn to blight because of lack of might, sight and insight.

No more must we trip or be stripped

'Til we slip the cup from the lip

And roll into moral social bankruptcy

No more must we continue in the ashes and mashes and stashes of acrimony and tyranny.

No more.

No more.

No more.

No more.

The god of wars says he's tired of your ways.

You've made nature your prey.

You've had your fill,

And you impose your will.

Would you number the countless

whose souls are sinking to the cages

Of woes never to even resurrect?

You might have no memory

'Cuz the cadence of the centuries

Are plaguing your cavalry

And your sanctuaries.

They didn't know better,

But our children deserve neither conflict.

Have you seen the face of the kids recently?

Conflict, have you seen the kids?

Conflict, how many more 'til?

Conflict, why still even kill?

Conflict, no one's life is a bill!

Conflict, we don't want you!

Conflict, we see through you!

Conflict, you've had your due

And all your loot.

Why don't we talk anymore

When we call each other often more

I know we have so much to say we don't say?

Why are we still here when we said

Over and over that we'll move from here

Cuz we cause each other so much pain?

We break up and make up.

We stop, then start, we separate,

And engage, 'til we realize there is

No one else .

Can't stand it when you're next to me,

I miss it when you're far from me.

I can't refrain. I'm going insane.

I, I love you.

I, I miss you.

I, I'm so sorry.

I, I want you back.

I, I miss you.

I, I miss you.

I, I'm so sorry.

I want you back.

Osekre New York, New York

"This Afro-indie band can’t be pinned to any one genre but instead transcends all, with lyrical and reflective beats. The band “turns local sounds global and brings global sounds local” with its clear African influence, but its sound goes beyond this, creating a universal funk that anyone would want to jam to.
