(Chorus)
Oh bumboclaat
Oh ras claat
I said I came
Upon this land
To guide and teach
My fellow man
But one thing I
Can't overstand
Is why man don't
Love his brotherman
(Repeat Chorus)
Sometimes I sit
And I look around
And listen to
To the ? sound
But when I check
There's so much lie
And that's the reason
Why the children cry
(Repeat Chorus)
I said it's been so long
We need a change
So the shitstem we
Got to rearrange
And if there is obstacles
Inna the road
We've got to throw them
Throw them overboard
(Repeat Chorus)
One night an evil spirit
Held me down
I could not make
One single sound
But then Jah told me
Some useful words
And now I'm as
Free as a bird
