My forefathers came from africa

Brought here as a slave

How can I have an englishman's name?

The white man, the chiney man

The indians and the syrians

All nations have their own names

They robbed us of our culture

They robbed us of our language

They robbed us of our women, our music taken away

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression, oh god, oh lord

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression

It's more than 400 years

We're livin' in this western hemisphere

Still we just can't reach nowhere

Babylon just have us right here, living in fear

Babylon don't even care

They robbed us of our culture

They robbed us of our language

They robbed us of our wealth, our strength taken away

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression, oh jah

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression

They robbed us of our culture

They robbed us of our language

They robbed us of our women, our music taken away

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression, jah jah

Oh why, oh why, what an oppression

It's more than 400 years

We're livin' in this western hemisphere

Still we just can't reach nowhere

Babylon just have us right here, living in fear

Babylon don't even care
