Hell And Sorrow

0

Tanzania to Uganda
Way down to the old capital called Addis Ababa
Black people born in contintent Ethiopia, in Africa
African descendant, as I would tell you 'bout this kinda thing, as I would say
Exactly designed with no fling, cause I ain't the Karachi king, as I would tell it to you
I got the stuff, and that's no bluff, I'm rough and tough, as I would say, yeah
Kinda love and gold coming out from Jamaica way to the UK
African descendant, got to be free one of these days
African descendant, you got to love your faith, you know, yeah
Four hundred years of slavery
Black man got to be free
Live in liberation and unity or inity for I and I
And let the tune of Zion be always, as I would say
King of kings, and Lord of lords, Lord Emperor, Hail Selassie I
Mighty king of creation
Clean hands and heart, without conception
Who don't want no surviving nation?
For black man, this is your creation, yeah
Got to black on black, black on black, as I would say, yeah
Kinda need no revolution
Because black people, we got the solution, yeah
We're black on black, and that's a natural fact, as I would tell you
Black on black, hey
Oh, black on black
Kinda natural fact, you know
Tell you people, you kinda need no suntan, for you are black on black
Black on black, as I would tell you, that's a natural fact
All we kinda need is love and unity
Freedom coming soon
No need for us to leave for the boat, as I would say
Malcolm X
Cat who was never vexed, as I would tell it to you
Marthin Luther King
Kinda peace and love the brother really bring, so you got to let it ring
Even [?] Michael
[?]
Heavier than Michelangelo
Black man creed, color class, indeed
Got to feed on your conscience
Love and unity
Black man got to be free, for we are black on black
Yeah, black on black
Black on black, as I would tell you
Kinda natural fact, as I would say
Coming from Jamaica way to the UK
Still done keeping a wise head, as I would tell you baby, dreader than dread
Jah almighty, as I would say
Jah almighty, Jah high
Jah high-a-high-a-high
Jah high-a-high-a-high
Jah high-a-high-a-high
Yeah, you got to black on black
Black is a natural fact
Black
