Free us as people! Sengbe Pieh, Black man cry,
Ship full of shackled Mende men, in chains aboard La Amistad,
many ship before her fill black man aboard, far away from motherland,
to be sold into slavery, on white man land,
free us as people, black man cry!
No food to eat , waiting to be sold in markets, 400 years past,
black man still struggle for equality to date,
white man show no appreciation,
after toiling on his land, 400 years past,
white man hang poor black man, for no reason, for being black,
white man hang black man for kiss a white girl,
maybe he jealous, black man can till the land in hot sun,
black man he dey pick cotton in hot sun,
black man cut sugarcane in plantation, in hot sun,
but white man skin too weak for scorching sun,
he scorn black man for cocoa skin that don’t burn in hot sun,
after he abolish slavery, white man give no land to black man in homeland,
he give him no peace of mind when going to school,
he share no bus with black man,
black man he dey poor in his own country,
white policeman brutality rampant almost everywhere,
police hunt black man all the time, he shoot, he choke, he stab,
Martin Luther cry for black man social equality,
Bob Marley wail freedom for black man,
Jomo Kenyatta jailed for black man’s freedom,
Nelson Mandela imprisoned 27 years for black man freedom,
Busy signal sing free up black people!
Black man still suffer stigma of black skin in new millennium,
oh white establishment, why you scorn black folk like this?
