Chronixx - Capture Land
And I say Dread & Terrible 'pon dem (Babylon a capture land)
Good God of grace (Lord)
Well, I have His mercy (Babylon a capture land), hey
And me say, old slave driver
Time is catching up on you (ooh yeah-eh)
Old slave driver
I know your sins dem a haunt you
[Chorus]
So carry we go home (carry we go home)
And bring we 'round a east (and bring we 'round a east), well
Cah man a Rastaman
And Rasta no live on no capture land (weh you mean)
And carry we go home (carry we go home, weh you mean)
I say fi sekkle and cease (I say fi sekkle and cease), well
Cah man a Rastaman
And Rasta no live 'pon no capture land (I have His mercy)
[Verse 1]
Well
Lord, America, a capture land
The whole a Jamaica, a capture land
A long time dem waan trick the Rastaman
Like dem no know say that man a real African
You think me no 'member King Ferdinand
And thieving Columbus have a golden plan
Dem make a wrong turn and end up in Caribbean
One rass genocide kill nuff Indian (Lord)
And turn paradise in a plantation (woii)
And bring 'cross one ship load a African
Now here comes the thieving Queen from England
No she Carmwell and envy mother (Lord)
Century 'pon top a century full a sufferation (woii)
And after four hundred year me say no reparation
And now dem waan fi kill we with taxation
But I beg you, please take me to the motherland
[Chorus]
I beg you carry me go home (carry we go home)
And bring we 'round a east (and bring we 'round a east), well
Cah man a Rastaman
And Rasta no live 'pon no capture land
Could a never
Carry me go home (carry we go home)
I say fi sekkle and cease, well (I say fi sekkle and cease)
Cah man a Rastaman
And Rasta no live 'pon no capture land (Rasta no live 'pon no, well)
[Verse 2]
Watch dem 'pon the top a the hill
A look inna dem plate how it properly fill
Because downtown nuff shot haffi kill
Dem tell the tourist say fi stop a Negril
So come mek we start a new chapter
We nah stay 'pon the land weh dem capture
A me say Africa fi all true Rasta
A so go tell the unscrupulous factors say
[Chorus]
Fi carry we go home (carry we go home)
And bring we 'round a east, well (and bring we 'round a east)
Cah man a Rastaman
And Rasta no live 'pon no capture land
Go tell dem that
Carry me go home (carry we go home)
I say fi sekkle and cease, well (I say fi sekkle and cease)
Man a Rastaman
And me no live 'pon no capture land
Live 'pon no capture land
[Outro]
Well
Cherry Garden a capture land
Me tell you Shortwood, say that a capture land
Los Angeles, that a capture land
And New York City, that a capture land
East some a the place weh you waan go live sweet
A thieving land, there's no title fi it
And some a these place weh you waan go live nice
A thief dem thief it in the name of Christ
Spanish Town, that a capture land
The whole a Kingston, that a capture land
Remember Portland, that a capture land
And all down a Trinidad, that a capture land

Tell dem Bermuda, that a capture land
And tell Columbia, say that a capture land
And all 'round a Cuba, say that a capture land
