Lyrics
ever since the slave days I walk the forest pitch black/ they cut of my locks I can't tell where Im at/ my fingers is bruised so I had to ice it up/ I sparked a spliff forgetting why we light it up/ We black kings we got snatched from the throne/ lost in the jungle trying to find our way home/ but on the way though some got hold of the chrome/ they went from the cross to the skull and cross bones/ but what a goin on I hear the sirens alert/ what happened to him is worst that 6 feet in the dirt/ Africano became ****** with blood apon the shirt/ the fast buck and the youth got to get merked/ the ice on you chest put your soul out of work/ you sipping redrum but you plan to reverse a murder/ yes yes yall yes yall a murder/ Im going home...
(HOOK) IM Coming home! IM coming Home! Take me away! Take me away!
The hole world is about to feel if when we touch down/ combined sounds like music that we mix down/ my home town is where the African lay down/ they beat down like rhythms on the Jim bay/ my generation got lost in the slave trade/ like Malcolm we gonna x that slave name/ and cut those that try to oppress us/ and x those that try to exploit us/ hey Babylon try to get me with a hold down/ and put a hole in my chest like gun down/ but say-say there?s too much flaw play/ like no way we gonna back down/ we get it up like sun upon arising/ its blazing hot/ amazing how this rate race got us looking like vagabonds/ while I still quest to find my way home.
(HOOK) IM Coming home! IM coming Home! Take me away! Take me away!
Always stand by my words never ah contradiction /We are tired of all of these exploitations/ Still we fight fi di growth of black man and/ We still inquire bout restitution/Out ah di pitch black hell a Babylon I carry di torch fi each slain Jamaican/ Out of di love and strength from in my heart ignites di flame fi blaze ah brand new start/Explode di charts and I still kneel down pray to god fi di millions of children we?ve lost/ Torn from life as di whole wide world pays di price my gosh/ O how we life?s are lives/O how we live are lives/
