'Olaudah Equiano'


WELL IS IT A GAME THAT YOU PLAY WITH
PEOPLES LIVES WITH ALL YOUR WARS YOUR
OPPRESSION AND YOUR CRIMES
YOU SAY YOU CARE YET YOU THROW LIFE AWAY
WICKED MAN RECKONING MUST HAVE ITS DAY
RECKONING MUST HAVE ITS WAY

YOU TAKE THE LAND AND DIVIDE IT ALL UP
FORCING MAN TO GROW WHAT FILLS ONLY YOUR CUP
THERE IS NO NEED FOR POVERTY AND SHAME
GOD GAVE MAN LIFE
NOW MAN MUST USE HIS BRAIN
MAN MUST USE HIS BRAIN JAH RASTAFARI SELASSIE
MAN MUST USE HIS BRAIN

TAKEN UNAWARES TO A SHIP REEKING OF DEATH
SOLD LIKE OUR GEMS IN THE SIGHING OF SWEET
BREATH BUT FROM SOLOMON TO SHEBA
AND TO MENELINK AND ON THE LIGHT AS PREVALED
THE KING OF KINGS HAS COME
