Testo Repatriation - Mikey General

Testo della canzone Repatriation (Mikey General), tratta dall'album Better Days

Forward ever, backward never

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

Repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

They took us by force, and not by free will

After four hundred years, dem pressure we still

I used to coulda speak Amharic

But Babylon beat it out of I with a whip

And forced I to speak English

Before I even left their ship

Sometimes when I reminisce (Sometimes)

And think about those awful trips (Those awful trips)

I still can't come to grips

How did my people manage to exist?

They took us away to a strange, strange land

They never even want us to sing King Alpha's song

Well, repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

And reparation is a must

Though Babylon a bawl and cuss

If we are wise, we should organize (We should organize)

Just as His Majesty say (Just as His Majesty say)

We must centralize

When we are united, we speak with one voice

Babylon will have to listen

They will have no other choice

They like when we are scattered (They like it), divide and rule

So let us come together, confound the fools

They took us by force, and not by free will

Four hundred years, Babylon a pressure we still

They stole our culture, made us forget our name

Tried to steal our dignity and make us feel ashamed

Well, repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

And reparation is a must

Though Babylon a fight and cuss

Repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

And reparation (And reparation), and reparation (Reparation)

They've got to pay

Every cent, every dollar that they took yow

They have to pay (They have to pay)

We have it written down in a book yow

So repatriation is a must

Africans come make we exodus

And reparation is a must

Though Babylon a fight and cuss

Repatriation is a must

African, it's time to exodus

And reparation, yes, reparation

They took us away to a far, far land

Never want us to sing King Alpha's song

Well, repatriation is a must

Repatriate, Africans

Let us repatriate, Africans

Head down to Zion gate, Africans

Let us repatriate, Africans

Nowhere to lay, nowhere to lay
