How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, ey-yes
Lamentations 1:1-3
Shipped to every corner of this earth, woy
Isaiah 11:12; Mark 5:4
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, yes
Luke 8:29
They would be spanked with many strikes by the master, woy
Acts 16:23
If they should ever not do just what they're told, yea-e
It really grieves my heart to see
It's pure brutality, I, yes, oh-oh
Whenever I recall my history
It grieves my heart, you see
How they've treated our foreparents
In the days of slavery, ah-ah-ah.
Slavery, and brutality
That's all they give me, wo-oh
That's all they give me, yeh-eh
(..)
My heart is filled with grief, when I remember, who-oh
How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, ye-ee
Shipped to every corner of this earth, wo-oh
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, yea
They would be spanked with many strikes by the master, wo-oh
If they should ever not do just what they're told, yea-e
It really grieves my heart to see
It's pure brutality, I, oh-oh
My heart is filled with grief, when I remember, yea-ee
How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, o-woy
Shipped to every corner of this earth, o-woy
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, ah-um..
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know.. my history
I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know..
