Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
I said I came upon this land
To guide and teach my fellow man
But one thing I can't overstand
Is why them don't love his brother man
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Sometimes I sit and look around
And listen to the daily sound
But when I check, there's so much lies
And that's the reason why the children cry
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
It's been so long
We need a change
So the shitstem we got to rearrange
And if there's obstacles in the road, we got to throw them overboard
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
One night, an evil spirit held me down
I could not make one single sound
Jah told me, son, use the word
And now I'm as free as a bird
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
Oh bumbo klaat, oh ras klaat
