Slave Ship

Ohh oh ooh oh ohh oh
It was not so very long ago
You held me in chains
Now you never let go
Five hundred years
I've been shedding tears
On that same slave ship

On that same slave ship
On that same slave ship

I still feeling
the cat -o- nine whip
On black skin it strip
Blood running down
On the deck of the ship it drip

On that same slave ship
On that same slave ship
On that Same slave ship
Hey na na now

Many a my brothers jumped overboard alive
But I made it
Til this day we survive
Yes RASTAFARI still deh bout
Yes RASTAFARI still deh bout
Can't get we out
Hear the people shout
It was not so very long ago
You hold me tight
Now you don't wanna let go
U fi Go way
500 years of blood sweat and tears
OH! How you robbed my Birth Right
Your Right is my Wrong
To make me weak not strong
Division divide and rule and conquer
Don't want us to get along
And sing the same song

On that same slave ship
On that same slave ship
On that same slave ship slave ship
On that same slave ship
Now I'm feeling
the cat -o- nine whip
Black skin it strip
Blood drip to the deck
Of that same slave ship
Ohh oh ohh oh
Ohh oh
