How did it come to this X2
We dance and we pray and
We learn to obey and
We learn to, adhere to
Everything as its fed to us are
Are we not equal to them X3
The sun was bright
Our sons were free
Our daughters were singing melodies of
Who we were to be
Now you say I'm free
You say I'm free X2
But he sees
Blood X5
Eye
(Eye)
For an eye
(For an eye)
Must we fight
(Must we fight)
To be free
(To be free)
Violent
Must it be violent X2
To succeed
Now
(Now now now)
Him say now
(Now now now)
Him say now
(Him say him)
Him say him tire
Him tire
He must keep strong (Keep strong X2)
He must keep strong
(He must)
He must keep strong
Dem Say
E no matter say him dey try grow
E no matter wetin him try do
Say na the black man
Na the black man be him problem
Say na the black woman be him problem
But him say history
Him say history
(History)
History will set him free
Set him free
He says you'll know
The empires you've built X2
The blood that you have spilled
And all our heroes
