King Thayo - Boat to Babylon

Pray that you miss the
Boat to Babylon
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better rise your head
Shackled up on my feet for
So long
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better
Rise your head
400 years pon this slave ship
Protest they say that we're racist
White kids they walk with black faces
Laughing like this thing is basics
Longtime ago we say that Black lives matter
Now fast forward them say all dogs matter
Watch what them do to the little black brothers
Got me tool on me
Nah scared fi go Ratta tatta
Protect my head
Melanin it cost $350 a gram
Wonder why they killing so much Africans
They found no wealth down here
Went to the motherland
Made more money off of us
Than them blood diamonds
Then them convert the black man to a Christian
Same God that say to beat a slave not wrong
I was asleep too long
That's why I bring this song
I know the futures on
I know the past is gone
Pray that you miss the
Boat to Babylon
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better
Rise your head
Shackled up on my feet for
So long
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better
Rise your head
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t breathe
All this hate and racism
Killing me
Marcus
Malcom
Martin had a dream
Now watch them take the bed from us
While we sleep
My hands is up begging
Dont shoot please
Cold blooded murder
We protesting while they sleep
All they did was
Change the white sheets
Got these
Blue badges running all these streets
I’m not free
I’m not free
I’m not free
Might take a run and just die like Arbery
Saw George Floyd got
Murdered in the streets
Cooper could’ve died
From a dog not being leashed
There's no peace
There's no peace
There's no peace
Imagine what they’re doing
When there’s no live feed
Your potus spewing hate over
My I G
Dying at a fast pace
I just hope that time cease
Pray that you miss the
Boat to Babylon
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better
Rise your head
Shackled up on my feet for
So long
Black man we gonna
Rise again
Black youth you better
Rise your head
