Oh, Africans have been through hell
They were taken away into captivity
They suffered the pangs of slavery
I scoffed at the gory island
And what I got to overstand
Hundred million a more packed like fish in a can
And shipwrecked to the Caribbean
Me have come from sweet Mama Africa
Where me go sail up the sweet river Gamia
Me come forth with God inna me heart
To break Babylon apart
