Lyrics Give I Fe a Name - Pablo Moses

Give I Fe a Name

Take back your name and give I fe I name
I an' I don’t want dis ya name
Chinese name Chin and Chung
Mc Intosh came from Scotland
Indian name Rajah and Gavaskar
I man sure Smith nuh come from Africa
Oh no, you hear what I say, oh no
My brothers and sisters, no
Wo wo wo
When I reach Ethiopia, I feel embarrassed
After telling I i-drens I name Morris
Because the name I have is for a European
Not the name of a black, black African
So take back your name and give I fe I name
I an’I don’t want dis ya name
Chinese name Chin and Chung
Mc Intosh came from Scotland
Indian name Rajah and Gavaskar
I-man sure Smith nuh come from Africa
Oh no, you hear what I say, oh no
My brothers and sisters, no
Wo wo wo, no
You know the name I have isn’t the correct one
It was given to I by you, the Bbylonians
It was not I wish to accept it
I and I was forced by you to use it
So take back your name and give I fe I name
I an' I don’t want dis ya name
Chinese name Chin and Chung
Mc Intosh came from Scotland
Indian name Rajah and Gavaskar
I-man sure Smith nuh come from Africa
Oh no, you hear what I say, oh no
My brothers and sisters, no
Wo wo wo, no
This name nuh come from Africa, no
No, oh, oh no.
