Sugar Minott - Far Away
There's a place, far away
So far away
Far, far away, there's a land
Where I and I brethren hail from
Seems some have forgotten what did happened
When we were taken and brought down here
There was a different, a different atmosphere
Treatin' us so bad, like they really didn't care
Far away, far away
Yes, we came from far away, oh yes
Changing our ways and our language
That's what they did
Taking our right and giving us wrong
Never wanting us to be a free man
Free men, far away
So far away we came
Far, far away, there's a land
Where I and I brethren hail from
Seems some have forgotten what did happened
When we were taken and brought down here
Seems like these things never change to me
'Cause we are still livin' in slavery
Far way, yes we came
Africa, so far away
(..)
Inna Africa, a land so rich
Youth just can't get a simple dish
Nothing at all and it makes I-man bawl
Far away, so far away
Far, far away, there's a land
Where I and I brethren hail from
Seems some have forgotten what did happened
When we were taken and brought down here
In South Africa they have a scheme
Treatin' my people like they weren't humans beings
So far away, far away
Yes, we came
Far, far away, there's a land
Where I and I brethren hail from
Seems some have forgotten what did happened
