It is not good to travel today
neither to cross the ocean
desert's so dry
water-thirst kill you
Don't good to travel today
neither to cross the ocean
desert's so dry
water-thirst kill you
kill you, kill you, kill you
kill you, kill you
When it wet it slippery, yeah
when it damp it cramp your belly
don't want to see you underground
don't want to see you underground
underground, underground, underground
Caution, my brother, caution, take heed
black soul, you're black as they
soul black, soul black
soul black, soul black, soul black
I'm proud i'm black
i'm proud i'm black
i'm rejoicing i'm black
who know black a go black again
who know black a go black again
soul black
my skin is black
soul black, oh, soul black
Two more things for i to tell you right now
two more things for i to tell you right now
two more...
My old great grandmother-mother-mother
great-great-great-greater-great grandmother-mother-mother-mother
she is black, soul black, yeah
she is black
My old great grandfather
greater-greater-great-great-great-great-great
grandfather-father-father-father-father-father-father, oh oh
he is black, soul black, soul black
So don't good to travel today
neither to cross the ocean
desert's so dry
water-thirst kill you, oh
kill you, oh
kill you, mmm
Don't good to travel today
neither to cross the ocean...
