Song To Benjamin (real) Lyrics

Benjamin.. (ohh ohh)

Not the first, but hopefully the last 

Rest in peace...yeah

This song is for you....come on



I feel anger and frustration but

Just let me mention that I don't want attention

Cause I didn't even knew him

But I feel him anyway, yo Benjamin

your friends called you Baloo, that's the only thing I know about you

Before I took the mission to write this song about your death

your tradegy and all the negativity about that night, about that fight

when you couldn't keep on running for your life

That soon was taken and believe me when I say I'm not fakin'

No lie that I wanna cry, you were only fifteen

With so much to go, and so much to live

But now you all can see what those mother fuckin' nazis did

And the police didn't do shit, they were just standing with statistics, 

thought they had tacticts

Cops dumb and blind, said if we only could rewind

To late for that, but we'll keep our faith cause you're with God



(Why did) Why did you have to go away?

(Why did) Why did it has to be this way?

I'm still thinkin' about those days and the way it used to be

(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go

(That's why) That's why I want you to know

That even though you're not around

Our love still grow...



Now we know that you're in heaven

Now we know that you're OK

And because you couldn't stay, we will pray and keep on praying

To our lord, our heavently father

So he can take good care of you, Benny Baloo

From my point of view, we all loved you

Especially your mama, but she'll be OK

Cause she knows that you're with papa up in the skies

No more lies, that sounds nice

Even though you paid your price, the price of being different

But there's no word like different, cause we're all the same

With a mother and a father and the right to live

No matter skin, no language

Black, white or yellow. That's the message in my mellow melody

Can't you see, it's to you from me, Danny, Mickey and Milo, now you know

But anyway, we'll always miss you (Ohh...always miss you, baby!!)

Please rest in peace, now we say farwell on our knees



Why did) Why did you have to go away?

(Why did) Why did it has to be this way?

I'm still thinkin' about those days and the way it used to be

(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go

(That's why) That's why I want you to know

That even though you're not around

Our love still grow...



ohh...we love you, baby!!

yeah, yeah...



Why did) Why did you have to go away?

(Why did) Why did it has to be this way?

I'm still thinkin' about those days and the way it used to be

(Nobody) Nobody wanted you to go

(That's why) That's why I want you to know

That even though you're not around

Our love still grow...



Ohh..our love still grow...oh no no no no no no no...
