Michelle Knowles - Tell Dem Lyrics

Just like everybody else I was born as a sinner
Life knock me down but still I am a winner
Pressure getting tall and my patience getting thinner
But I have an "S" on my chest and a queen on the inner
If the good Lord made us then why are we oppressed
Black people, One Love
No man curse who Jah bless
They want to destroy us but that they'll regret
Cuz you can't touch a flame without burning yourself
Be not weary
Be not weary
In due season
We shall reap
Every trial
Tribulation
Shall be under
Our feet
Tell Dem
Don't forget to Tell Dem
Never underestimate
Our power and our faith
Ooo
Tell Dem
Don't forget to Tell Dem
Never underestimate
Our power and our faith
All we have is who we are
Every battle, every scar
Every slave ship and shackle of our ancestors
Our history is what makes us stand up tall
We're from a lineage of kings and queens after all
Don't let the system define you, it's designed to suppress
Afraid we'll discover the truth for ourselves
They want to destroy us but that they'll regret
Cuz you can't touch a flame without burning your flesh
Be not weary
Be not weary
In due season
We shall reap
Every trial
Tribulation
Shall be under
Our feet
Tell Dem
Don't forget to Tell Dem
Never underestimate
Our power and our faith
Ooo
Tell Dem
Don't forget to Tell Dem
Never underestimate
Our power and our faith
We are the children born of Africa
Never forget to Tell Dem who we are
We are the children born of Africa
Never forget to Tell Dem who we are
