Culture - Black Starliner Must Come lyrics

rate me

Oh if I knew yesterday what I know now

Things would be different

Today would be excellent of course

They took us away from our homeland

They took us away from our homeland

And we are slaving down here in Babylon

And we are slaving down here in Babylon

They are waiting on an opportunity

They are waiting on an opportunity

For the Black Starliner which is to come

For the Black Starliner which is to come

Not long Jah Jah Jah Jah not long

Not long Jah Jah Jah Jah not long

We are waiting on the Black Starliner

And we are still waiting on the Black Starliner

Wait on Jah

Wait on His works

I meekly wait and murmur not

I meekly wait and murmur not

For the Black Starliner shall come

For the Black Starliner must come

Still waiting on that opportunity

We are still waiting on the same opportunity

For the Black Starliner which is to come

For the Black Starliner which is to come

Marcus say so

Oh land of Africa

Holy Mount Africa

We want, we want to go

We want, we want to go

Sierra Leone and Ghana

Zimbabwe, Ethiopia

We want, we want to go (in a Kenya)

We want, we want to go

They took us away from our homeland

They took us away from our homeland

And we are slaving down here in Babylon

Don't want to be slaving down here in Babylon

Ethiopia stretch forth her hands

Ghana, say come home brother

We are slaving down here in Babylon

And we are slaving down here in Babylon

We want go eat fufu and palm wine

Eat some nice fish and have nice time

We are slaving down here in Babylon

We are slaving down here in Babylon

Want go look nice ladies

Want to see mother with their babies

We are slaving down here in Babylon

This is eternal hell

We are slaving down here in Babylon

Nothing for us

We are slaving down here in Babylon

And it a run red

We are slaving down here in Babylon
