So Solomon sacred yah, I love that creator ow 
Yea hey ey 

From Africa they take us away, yes I yes I 
In the Western they slave us every day 
They never listen to what we got to say 
Sold us on their plantation only to be paid 
They didn't have the people intrest at heart 
Ready for repatriation so make the start 
I know they linch and clinch my people in the dark 
Now I'm the light of the world oh

When the system what they set was just to slave I and I

While others at their place having pleasure

Can't give away life that's my treasure

To live each day wise and clever,
