Busy Signal - Free Up lyrics

Martin Luther, black malcolm X, black
Marcus Garvey, black barack Obama, black
Bill Clinton, black, ha
Weh you think bout dat? A whole heap a great
Some a di greatest people
African history document dat

So free up black people live up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people
So free up black people, free up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people

My point is, the meek shall inherit the earth
And me nuh matter what the fight is
And it was written long before
The 80s and the 90s
Before the Colonel find the herbs and spices
Black people don't get caught inna dem system
Just overcome and don't become a victim
Cause dem system set fi dem get the future
Only the history we get

So free up black people live up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people
So free up black people, free up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people

Don't figet Usain Bolt black
Greatest of the great
Check the record pon the track
Asafa, Shelly-Ann Fraser, Merlene Ottey
Ben Johnson and Quarrie
Me fi tell you bout that bob Marley
Muhammad Ali and Denzel Washington
Too many to mention whitney Houston
Michael Jordan from the African
And join river Jordan

So free up black people live up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people
So free up black people, free up black people
A inna jail house dem wah fi lock people
Mental shackles and chain inna
Brain dem trap people

So free up black people live up black people
So free up black people, free up black people
