Bwoy, if yah see the remnant of sufferation and disgrace Where the English government left inna Africa- dog bwoy Them have no respect for the people and act and a come gwaan like them decent It was way down in West Africa, way down in the slave country I took a walk, I took a walk down in West Africa Down in West Africa And there I found myself taking a short stop Way down in Ghana To tell them that me on ya Then after I took a rest I took a walk Way over to Cape Coast slave dungeon To see what was happening (Hear what the song say) Equal rights and justice stand for all Them a preach upstairs rights from downstairs (Lord have mercy) Them r.i.p up creation Slave trade continue until I found myself way over in Sierra Leone At the foot of Lion Mountain It was around about Christmastime Then I stop to have a drink of palm wine But one thing- them want the people live like swine They gave guns and bullets to the rebels and start to teach them to fight each other for iamond It was a diamond war (Yet for whom?) And all because there was nothing to gain Ive never seen the United Nation cry peace again So you nuh see the corruption (and I look at you) Out of the woodland Man a nah nuh fight none Stretch out your hand, put it out yourself What do you want? Long sleeve or short sleeve? And them a take them cutlass and them chop it off (your request now) Long sleeve them chop you on the wrist Short sleeve them a cut it to the arm We have everything in paradise (my God) Here in the West Even them Christmastime them song like a Christmastime without light!! From the woodland Just the sound of a bird. When I woke up in my lonely cottage, listening to the song of each thing And every man them a fight it dont know who is gonna win War in a Africa But it is extra slaughter there in Sierra Leone One president fall down
