Alborosie - Likkle Africa lyrics

[Alborosie - Likkle Africa lyrics]

Jamaica, you are my likkle Africa
Woyy, yeah, yeah, yeah

Likkle Africa I'm a third class citizen
Puppa ridin' inna Babylon across di Schengen
Babylon by bus and by my
Side there's no friend
We a go right through till di end well

Mi affi work hard and move
Right round di clock
Mi affi push down di rat
But mi nah see no jack
Likkle Africa too small
It nuh deh 'pon di maps so
That's why dem nah tek no chat, well
Fifty cent inna the pocket cyan
Buy dem no meal inna this ya rat race there
Is no poor man deal

Just understand how mi feel



So we affi witness a new
Rising sun, come to us, yea
Is the prophecy of Marcus
Garvey, teaching us, wey, ey
It's the Lion Of Judah once again
Walking 'pon this land, wooh, yey, yey
I say oh, God is a living man

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free

We gonna fulfill our destiny a walk away free
My people pace my come
From my silence slavery
We earn the right to live
But lock to live in poverty

Likkle Africa di story is neva been told
Someone tell mi seh di truth
Is be lookin dem soul
For a case a long gun and
A five pound of gold
Plus a mi mek cries look too pretty and bold

So as long as di gun dem
We'll restore di orda
As long as a man will die
Just to trying cross di borda-a
As long as those tears
Will sick out mi fadda-fadda
As long as we will not find no peace
Likkle Africa shall cry

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free

There will be a brand new day
Oh, my likkle Africa
My likkle Africa, woy, yey, yey, yey

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free my likkle Africa free
