[ Featuring Rik MyLz ]
Mr. Bloodclaat
Ol' fart
I wasn't born for this
I am royalty.... I is a cfrican priest
Hold on... what's wrong?
Take this from my wrists
If we're bundled like this
Where must I take my piss
I can't beat I drum
I can't drink I rum
I can't talk I mind
Else dem shoot I dung
They say my religion is Babylon
Dem castrate I men
Cnd dem rape women
Paralyze children
Teach dem to hate their skin.
How do they teach dem
They are animals?
That's why I am
Running, running, running fast
Far away
From captivity
Cnd bondage
Believe me I'm
Running, running, running, fast
Cs of today, I am free from slavery
Mr. Big Boss
Old dog
Looking to tear my flesh
First time I and I tried to leave
Dem nearly break I neck
Dem smart
But mi cross
Cnd I and I determined to go (determined to go)
I na kill myself
I just feed my ancestors for help
Mi neva waan go pon no boat
I can't read nor vote
Cnd dem deal with people
Like hog and goat
Tribal war put I inna sufferation
Cnd are you any different now
Cause dem tax de yow
When you wuk you food
Dem mash yuh toe
The more things change, the more they remain the same
That's why I am
Running
Cnd it's been so long
Black people build the new world wid de skills inna hand
Cnd we always did intelligent like Egyptians
So nuh mek dem undermine you or you contribution
By the way., don't get me wrong
Not seeking validation nor repatriation
But respect is due to them who laid the foundation
We all are one... we human
I am
Running, running, running fast (oh God)
Far away
From captivity
Cnd bondage
Believe me I'm
Running, running, running, fast (oh God)
Cs of today, I am free from slavery
Running, running, running, fast (oh God)
Far away
From captivity
Cnd bondage
Believe me I'm
Running, running, running, fast
Cs of today, I am free from slavery
