The Invasion (aka "Black Wa-Da-Da")
They take us away from Africa
With the intention to steal our culture
The good father pass by and say
Humble yourself, my little one
Humble yourself, my children
Humble yourself
Oh, my brothers, it is
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Who I-lier than I-ly?
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Mean love in Africa
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Love I-niversally
My interpretation love universal
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Love in Africa
Love in America
Love in Canada
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Who I-lier than I-ly?
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Every knee shall bend (shall bend, shall bend)
Every tongue shall tell (shall tell, shall tell)
Down in this valley, down in this valley
Down in this valley of Jehoshaphat
Where is your love, Jamaicans?
Where is your love, Jamaicans?
Where is your love, Jamaicans?
I can't see your love
I can't feel your love
Nor even touch your love
I don't know about your love
Taught them the way to love one another
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Who I-lier than I-ly?
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Black guidance be with I
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Even within I-man black race
Wa-da-da
No plague shall come up on I (oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da)
To eat up I flesh
Wa-da-da (keep them away Wadada) oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Keep them away Wadada
Wa-da-da (Black Wa-da-da) oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
(Revive for I and I) wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Food, clothes and shelter (wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da)
Grant unto I, my heart's desire (wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da)
Each and every one entitled to their heart's desire
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Be with I and I and I (wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da)
They take us away from Africa
With the intention to steal our culture
The good father pass by and say
Humble yourself, my little one
Humble yourself, my children
Humble yourself
Oh, my brothers, it is
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Who I-lier than I-ly?
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Mean love in Africa
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Love I-niversally
My interpretation love universal
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da
Love in Africa
Love in America
Love in Canada
Wa-da-da, oh-oh-oh, wa-da-da

They take us away from Africa
