LUCKY DUBE - Keep On Knocking (Victims)

KEEP ON KNOCKING
She wrote me a letter
In the early days of December
Saying she wasn't happy
Where she was
Oh that's the bad news yeah
That is why today I'm here
To take her away from you
Everytime you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don't want
To see her go through
Hurt again so!!!

CHORUS
Keep on knocking but you
Can't come in now
She's my mother you know.

If she was a bad mother
She would have thrown us away
Long time ago
Even when things got bad
She still held on to us all the way
When she cries we cry too
When she smiles we smile too
We were happy all this time
Until you came along
Everytime you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don't want to see her
Go through hurt again

Precious gift gone too soon forever.
Why good people never last?
Thank God, your music still brings happiness to the downtrodden.
We would have loved to still hear new releases by you angel in disguise.
But I'm encouraged over the fact that you once visited my country Sierra Leone 🇸🇱

People!! I can assure you that this song was launched in Uganda-- and the guy was bouncing like a ball in the air--- Man, , Ugandans of our time will never forget the time that show----
True you left this world and we are here fighting on-- but your messages in all your songs will remain real---
Rest in Peace Dube, , , I wonder what the world would be today if you still lived-- But dont U worry--- Prob you are better off where you are RIP Dube
And family pls fight on----He did his part while he was here on planet earth-- the rest is for the other
