[Intro: Sanchez & (Mr. Marley)
Oh Sanchez, stay

(Refugees) How dem fi tek we outta our land

(Refugees) Sanchez, let di world sup enuh man
[Chorus: Sanchez & (Mr. Marley)
Call us refugees
That is what we are
Let's just be a team
So that we'll be strong
Sail away with me
Back to Africa
And we will sing to each other, ah ah
From one mountain to another, ah ah
Oh Sanchez, I want to say
All I really want is say dem don't really care about
Remember when blacks couldn't tek bus
All I really want is say dem don't really care about
Colored people dem, hey!
Dem haffi sign me, join me, NBA call me
Michael Jordan rule di industry
Tyson a poison, no him name Bison
Just di other day dem nearly tek 'way him license
Malcolm X a dead man, dem can't stop Farrakhan
Him come 'bout ya fi elevate black man
Teacher, preacher, nuff a impostor
All dem a gwaan, dem waan crucify Rasta
Now me a go bring in di singer
[Chorus: Sanchez & (Mr. Marley)
Call us refugees
That is what we are
Let's just be a team
That's the way to be strong
Sail away with me
Back to Africa
And we will sing to each other, ah ah
From one mountain to another, ah ah
[Verse 2: Sanchez & (Mr. Marley)
Took away our share and now they disrespect
Now di Babylon yutes just come tek us
They get we washboard and scabside
Yes, they get to use our eyes
(See all di yute dem inna di west, I waan tell yuh sumn now)
Well, ghetto yute, join hand inna metal, go bun down Vatican
A million Rastaman, nuh think a one
Join hand inna metal, go bun down Vatican
A million Rastaman, nuh think a one
Was easy like go buy di gas, Tony weh fi hold di torch
Capleton a house of David, start Bible talk
Twerk Tribe, Bobo Shante, dem start di march
Me hear di pope a call, me fling di first torch
And mi next torch weh bring pope a rope, pull fast
We love to dat, '82 my new act
Look how it a move up when di leaders attack
Sanchez, hold di mic and back
[Chorus: Sanchez & (Mr. Marley)
Call us refugees
That is what we are
Let's just be a team
That's the way to be strong
Sail away with me
Back to Africa
And we will sing to each other, ah ah
From one mountain to another, ah ah
All I really want is say dem don't really care about
Remember when blacks couldn't tek bus
All I really want is say dem don't really care about
Colored people yah, musical
Dem used to beat me, jail me, use to ill treat me
Up on di shipside, yes, dem used to sell me
White people come and inna dreams dem used to bite me
Now dem come and trade all we name and we family
Who name Davis from who name Harris
From who name Johnson from who name Mr. Smith
Mr. Benbow, dem deh man deh yuh fi know
How dem a gwaan like dem tek man fi puppet show
Sanchez, tall the truth, me out
We're the refugees and we will be sound
They say that they'll get us but their time has come
To stand up strong
Yes, we're gonna stand up strong
