Russia in search of freedom and work. They achieved the unexpected; the first African animated cartoon was created. Despite problems...

Lyrics: (Intro) This ones from the heart. For real (Verse) Will you die for me already lived a full life. Even though I'm old I still act like I'm young. The good inside makes me carry on. You left a long time ago. I still feel your Presence around me. Your spirit it flow but never let go that's the truth bro While I sing my heart and soul out for you. Through thick and thin we've been through it all too many things in the winter cold as drama unfold I protected you from the evil Outside. That's the way I feel inside its true. Cause I speak the truth to you.
