Review The Song (6)Print the Lyrics
[Wyclef as Amadou]
Boy I am so tired
I'll be glad when I get inside the house
Oh, I dropped my keys
Oh what tis bright light?
My God they must gonna rob me
Who these people with them all at they gonna rob me
I'm gonna take out my wallet to make sure they just get the money
Nothing else.. (??)
Oh it's the police (*whew*)
I feel so much better
I will show them, I have my ID
so they know I am good people

{*followed by a rapid flurry of gunshots*}

[Wyclef Jean]
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I fear no evil for thou art with me thou ride with me
J-J-Jah! Ras-tafari
I can't forget you knotty dreads, y'all up in here
I gotta respect that, youknowhatI'msayin?
Night is in the air

Enemy.. on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire
forty-one shots by Diallo's side?

You said he reached sir
but he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
in the belly of the beast sir

You guys are vampires
in the middle of the night
Suckin on human blood
Is that your appetite?

You said he reached sir
but he didn't have no piece sir
But now he rest in peace sir
in the belly of the beast sir

Have you ever been shot
forty-one times?
Have you ever screamed
and no one heard you cry?
Have you ever died
only so you can live?
Have you ever lived
only so you can die again, then be born again
from these enemies, on the borderline
Who'll be the next to fire
forty-one shots by Diallo's side?

You said he RIPS oh
but he didn't have no peace oh
But now he rest in peace oh
in the belly of the beast oh

You guys are vampires
in the middle of the night
Suckin on human blood
Is that your appetite sir?

You said he RIPS oh
but he didn't have no peace oh
But now he rest in peace oh
in the belly of the beast oh

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo - you told me the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo - according to his words

Have you ever been held
against your will?
Taken to a dark place
where not even scientists can reveal?
So what is for Ceasar
let it be for Ceasar
Cause we don't want no peace
We want equal rights and justice.. for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo - you tell me that the murder was an error
Diallo, Diallo - but every man will be judged
Diallo, Diallo - according to his words

You know what?
You told me - that I wouldn't understand man
Tonight some cry - in the streets a burial
Survival of the fittest - only the strong will survive
How can I survive - with forty-one shots by my side?

You guys are murderers
in the middle of the night
Killin innocent people
is that your appetite? Ohhh

You said he RIPS oh
but he didn't have no piece oh
But now he rest in peace oh
in the belly of the beast oh

You guys are vampires
in the middle of the night
Suckin on human blood
Is that your appetite?

You said he RIPS oh
but he didn't have no peace oh
But now he rest in peace oh
in the belly of the beast oh - lick a shot for

Diallo, Diallo - similar to Steven Biko
Diallo, Diallo - I can hear your spirit callin, I can hear it
Diallo, Diallo - Ten thousand chariots with no riders
Diallo, Diallo - They on they way to America, I hear the tribe singin

They're sayin -
Diallo Diallo, Amadou Diallo (14X)
Amadou Diallo..

Review about Diallo

Moving!!! | Reviewer: Nana Kwadwo | 11/16/09

I'm always driven to tears anytyme i hear this track. The image of Diallo n what he went thru at the hands of the NYPD officers seem to jump up from the song. Touching and Moving! Wyclef, u r indeed one of the world's best lyricist and song writers.

many dialloes around the world | Reviewer: tony-rigo | 1/18/09

an incredible song about an innocent young man who died.. a month ago a similar incident happened in greece where i live... a bloody police-man killed a 15 year old boy (Alexis) who was out celebrating his friend's birthday..he planted a bullet in his young body and left him half-dead in the middle of the street.. an hour later alexis passed away... we were demonstrating all around greece for a month.. they said "the murder was an error"..

NO MORE KILLING! NO MORE POLICE VIOLENCE! NO MORE DIALLOES! NO MORE ALEXIES!



Amazing | Reviewer: Aubrey | 12/6/07

This song is poetry to a story that more people need to know. It cannot be forgotten share this song with your friends. Wyclef you tell a brilliant story.



Lick a shot for | Reviewer: Josh Bakker | 12/3/07

This is an incredible song, yet it pains me when a person heres it, and does not understand the serious emotion inherent within it.

Such graceful and powerful music is rarely produced in this day and age, so it must be respected and appreciated when it does. Write on, poet.
