Burning Spear - Marcus Garvey: The Best of Burning Spear

The Invasion

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
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada
Who I-lier than I-ly
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada

Means love in Africa
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada
Love universally
My interpretation love universal
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada

Love in Africa, love in America
Love in Canada
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada
Who I-lier than I-ly
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada

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 'bout your love
Taught them the way to love one another

Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada
Who I-lier than I-ly
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada
Black guidance be with I
Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada

Even within I-man black race
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada) no plague shall come up on I, to eat up I flesh
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada) keep them away Wadada
Keep them away Wadada
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada) black Wadada
Revive for I and I (wadada wo-ho-ho wadada)

Food, clothes and shelter
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada)
Grant unto I, my heart's desire
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada)

Each and every one entitled to their heart's desire
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada)
Bear with I and I and I
(Wadada wo-ho-ho wadada)
They take us away from Africa
