Many Rains Ago (Oluwa) |
Screaming so loud that I’m losing my voice |
Them boys they grabbed my wife |
Stabbed her twice took her life |
Wanna know why I got this anger |
Wanna know why I keep a banger |
I see that man told my daddy on tracks |
Train ran him over and the boys don’t even look back |
I got no reason to live |
They just lynched my kids |
Sometimes I just wish I’d jumped ship in the Atlantic |
Then I wouldn’t have to deal whit this shit |
Then I’ll woke up from the nightmare dream |
Roots on my TV screen |
Like Martin had a dream |
All his kids and harmony |
Sing it loud like a symphony |
If you’re free let it ring, let it ring |
If you’re free let it ring, let it ring |
If you’re free let it ring, let it ring |
If you’re free let it ring |
Sing me |
That old song |
From many rains ago |
When the rain fell down |
When the rain feel down |
Lost your children by the sea |
Take it from the land |
Many years ago |
Goodbye mother land |
Sing me |
That old song |
From many rains ago |
Let the rain fall down |
Let the rain fall down |
You are the chosen one |
I got to go back to the motherland |
I got to get back to the motherland |
Goodbye my baby |
Sing me |
That old song |
From many rains ago |
Let the rain fall down |
Let the rain fall down |
You are the chosen one |
