I Had a Dream
Dutchie Gold and Hoy in a combination is a vision to the nation
A wha you a say Hoy?
I had a dream. I was an African Queen
No slippers on my feet, homeland so green
When I woke up from my dream, so sweet
Living in a ghetto street
Sufferation everywhere, seems like the big man don't care
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Christopher Columbus, the boy from Spain
Drink black people blood like a champagne
Swap we out for red wine and rum down here
Amount a we they rape and kill and swear
No discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Living in the ghetto
Never knew my daddy's name
Humiliation was my breakfast
They say black was a shame
Nah allow them fi say so
Bone dem covered and the flesh melt off
Cry left behind—I know the truth the gal a talk
Bone dem covered and the flesh melt off
Cry left behind—I know the true
Nuff a dem no love fi hear the Dutch Gold talk
Nuff a dem no know—the grave them unmark
How are you so great and enough man dead?
How are you so great and enough bloodshed?
How are you so great and enough slave sell?
How are you so great and them work we so hard?
Discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Nuff a dem a come tell me about them Bloody Bay
One, Three Finger Jack, how them used to stay
Them used to murder people everywhere
I n I a tell you 'bout the one Calico
The one Henry Morgan, what him used to do?
Him no like Selassie I, Selassie sink in value
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
I had a dream. I was an African Queen
No slippers on my feet, homeland so green
When I woke up from my dream, so sweet
Living in a ghetto street
Sufferation everywhere, seems like the big man don't care
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
One-Handed Palmer, Rose Hall Witch
In I a tell you that the whole a dem a witch
Look how dem tek weh from Africa
Tell all dem friend about the Caribbean
Waan mash wi up down here inna Babylon
Time fi wi go back inna Africa land
Gambia and Ghana black people come from
We nah listen slave master
We no come haffe listen slave master
'Can dem no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Bone dem cover and them cry left behind
Mek them know seh a just the truth the gal a talk
Bone dem cover and the flesh melt off
In I say a serious think mi talk
Nuff a dem a do the murdering in a di dark
Nuff a dem a do the murdering in a di day
In I a tell them to go the good way
Stop kill your brother and your sister
A wha you a say Hoy?
I had a dream. I was an African Queen
No slippers on my feet, homeland so green
When I woke up from my dream, so sweet
Living in a ghetto street
Sufferation everywhere, seems like the big man don't care
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
Them no discover nothin', them come murder somethin'
Long time them a kill black people
