The slave masters took the shackles from our ankles - (and) put the chains upon our brain, It seems insane but Jah workers them don't labor in vain (Ps 127:1), they shall be saved all of them who choose to call on His name (Rom 10:13). So from the sweat off our brows, (from) the sweat off our backs, we shall work all day and we are not going to relax (Prov. 16:26). Due to sin through thorns and thistles we must toil upon the earth (Gen 3:17-19). Only the righteous will find what life is worth. In God's metamorphosis they shall find a new birth (1Pet 1:3, 1:23, John 3:3)(and Sing)

Woe!... So help them Jah, the whole of them in Mother Africa. Woe!... they are the sufferers, In Uganda and Kenya. Uganda, Somalia, Nigeria and South Africa. Ethiopia, and Kenya, in China and the whole of Jamaica.

They say you give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you feed him for life (Matt 25:31-46). But I can't buy a reel, I can't find no pale, I can't by a hook and I can't afford a knife. (They say) you have to beat the system before it beats you, yet we are already black and so blue. Judging by race and class must be through (I Sam 16:7), we want justice for all and not just for a few! Broke pocket! And so me tell them say, Lord have His mercy yeah! Jah knows them suffer real bad.
