How did it come to this
How did it come to this
We dance and we pray
And we learn to obey
And we learn to, adhere to
Everything as its fed to us are
Are we not equal to them
Are we not equal to them
Are we not equal to them
The sun was bright
Our sons were free
Our daughters were singing melodies of
Who we were to be
Now you say I'm free
Now you say I'm free
You say i'm free
But he sees
Blood, Blood
Blood, Blood
Blood
Eye (Eye)
For an eye (For an eye)
Must we fight (Must we fight)
To be free (To be free)
Violent
Must it be violent
Must it be violent
To succeed
Now (Now now now)
Him say now (Now now now)
Him say now (Him say him)
Him say him tire

He must keep strong (Keep strong Keep strong)
He must keep strong

He must keep strong
Dem Say E no matter say him dey try grow

Na the black man be him problem
Say na the black woman be him problem
But him say history, him say history (History)
History will set him free, set him free
He says you'll know
The empires you've built
The empires you've built
The blood that you have spilled
And all our heroes
