Bondage Lyrics

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, not today
Flesh and bone
Oh nah, nah, nah, nah
Took I from Africa
You got I bounded in your shakles and chains, uh
Imposed your philosophies
You got I living though illiteracy, my gosh
White gods and religions you used
To have I and I people confused
The truth you try to hold from we
Knowing the truth could set I free
Chris-thief-a-crumble-us (Christopher Columbus)

Hold I inna bondage for so long
Yes and you crumble-us
Hold I inna bondage for so long
You hold I inna bondage for so long
You hold I inna bondage for so long
You hold I in your bondage
And now you making I the hostage
We've been your victims for so long
Pah ba dup tab a deh

Africa you robbed and raoed
In your evil quest to build your west
Bounded us against our will
Who refused to be, you tortured and killed
Civilized you claimed to be
While you feed upon our flesh and bones
Truth now every eye can see
So you got to set the people free, set them free Yeah

Hold I inna bondage for so long
Hold I inna bondage for so long
You hold I inna bondage for so long
You hold I in your bondage
And now you making I hostage
We've been your victims for so long, prrapp pa bad eh

Say you hold I, oh Lord yeah
And control I, Oh yeah
Say you hold I
Hold I ina bondage for so long
Oh mister purate
Hold I inna bondage for so long
I wanna tell you

Ever since Columbus came
Nothing is the same again
All them brought is sorrow and pain
Ever since Columbus came nothing is the same again
All them brought is sorrow and pain
And you've been holding I
And you've been scolding I, so long
We've been victims of your oppression for so long,
prrap pa bad eh

Through the fear of death
The people are subject to bondage
Bondage to what?
Down with all slavish mentatlity
The people must be free
You know what I'm talking about
Revolution, I mean revolution
