[Verse 2]
My point is, the meek shall inherit the earth
Matthew 5:5

And me no matter what the fight is
And it was written long before the 80s and the 90s
Before the Colonel find the herbs and spices
Black people, don't get caught inna dem system
Just overcome and don't become a victim
Cah dem system set, fi dem get the future
Only the history we get
So

[Chorus]
So free up black people
Live up black people
A inna jail house dem waan fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna brain, dem trap people
So free up black people, free up black people
Inna jail house dem waan fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna brain, dem trap people

A inna jail house dem waan fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna brain, dem trap people
So free up black people, free up black people
Inna jail house dem waan fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna brain, dem trap people

Free up black people
