Hopeton Lindo - Black History

Black history

It's been centuries gone
We've been oppressed
And it's been going on
We can't get no rest

400 years we've been brought here as slaves
To work in the fields
And throughout those times
The lashes of the whip we feel

What a black story to tell (ohh), black history
What a wicked story to listen to, black history

We've been fight down from generation, to generation
We've been held and trodding there
And I've been kept there without no pay

What a black story to tell (ohh), black history
What a wicked story to listen to, black history

(..)

Black man has been struggling together
For a very long day
We have gained some equal rights
But we're still struggling today

So now that the time has come
When we all should live as one
We look upon our own black brothers
And we fire our gun
It's not right, tell me
Should we fight, should we fight, oh no
'Cause that is not right

What a black story to tell (ohh), black history
What a wicked story to listen to, black history

We've been fight down from generation, to generation
The lashed of the whip we could feel
While we worked in the white man's field

What a black story to tell (ohh), black history
What a wicked story to listen to, black history
What a black story to tell (ohh), black history
What a wicked story to listen to, black history
