(Original)

I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do (do-do-do)
Oh, I don't know what to do
I don't know what to do (do-do-do)
Oh, I don't know what to do without you
I don't know what to do without you

From the slums I come
Oh, marine base boy
I know love is war
I know God is God
I will never stop
'Til the war is won
Tell the kids unborn
And the ones we lost

I'll never forget (gen-gen, gen-gen)
I'll never forget gen-gen (gen-gen)
I'll never forget you (gen-gen, gen-gen)
I'll never forget gen-gen (gen-gen)
I'll never forget you
I'll never forget
I'll never forget, oh, oh

Boy Alone Lay, oh
Boy Alone Lay
Boy Alone Lay, oh
Boy Alone Lay
Gbashi nim ere ngwa ngwa
Gbashi nim ere Kwai Kwai
If you're hearing my voice, I want you to know

I will not (oh-whoa), I will not (oh-whoa)
I will not (oh-whoa), I will not forget you (oh-whoa)
I will not (oh-whoa), I will not, I will not

I've been vigilant
I've been intelligent
Nobody get rank for this military
Everybody will die
Die like ant and rot like Millipedes
I've been knickering
Way before Michael Jackson, sing Billie Jean
From nineteen biridin
Way before Patoranking, sing Wilmer
See my eyes don see the things
Ordinary person like you no go believe it
It's why I'm cold and shivering
I hide my pains, my blow, my misery
Hey, hey, oh
(I hide my pains, my blow, my misery)
Ahh, hey
(I hide my) hey, hey

Boy Alone Lay, oh
Boy Alone Lay
Boy Alone Lay, oh
Boy Alone Lay
Gbashi nim ere ngwa ngwa
Gbashi nim ere Kwai Kwai
If you're hearing my voice, I want you to know

I will not (oh-whoa), I will not (oh-whoa)
I will not (oh-whoa), I will not forget you (oh-whoa)
I will not (oh-whoa), I will not, I will not
I will not forget you

Hey
(I hide my pains, my blow, my misery) hey, hey
Ahh, hey
(I hide my) hey, hey
