| Ooh ooh ooh
|
| I know, I know
|
| Ooh ooh
|
| My heart is filled with grief when I remember
|
| How they’ve taken our foreparents from their homeland
|
| Shipped to every corner of this earth
|
| Bound in shackles and chain like their beast
|
| They would be spanked with many strikes by the master
|
| If they should ever not do just what they’re told
|
| It really grieves my heart to see
|
| It’s pure brutality
|
| Whenever I recall my history
|
| It grieves my heart, you see
|
| How they’ve treated our foreparents
|
| In the days of slavery
|
| Slavery and brutality
|
| That’s all they give me
|
| That’s all they give me
|
| My heart is filled with grief when I remember
|
| How they’ve taken our foreparents from their homeland
|
| Shipped to every corner of this earth
|
| Bound in shackles and chain like their beast
|
| They would be spanked with many strikes by the master
|
| If they should ever not do just what they’re told
|
| It really grieves my heart to see
|
| It’s pure brutality
|
| My heart is filled with grief when I remember
|
| How they’ve taken our foreparents from their homeland
|
| Shipped to every corner of this earth
|
| Bound in shackles and chain like their beast
|
| I know, I know, I know
|
| I know, I know, I know
|
| Ooh ooh
|
| Jah jah |
