Oh What An Oppression
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
