Screaming so loud that I'm losing my voice Them boys they grabbed my wife Stabbed her twice took her life Wanna know why I got this anger Wanna know why I keep a banger I see that man told my daddy on tracks Train ran him over and the boys don't even look back I got no reason to live They just lynched my kids Sometimes I just wish I'd jumped ship in the Atlantic Then I wouldn't have to deal whit this sh** Then I'll woke up from the nightmare dream Roots on my TV screen Like Martin had a dream All his kids and harmony Sing it loud like a symphony If you're free let it ring(repeats) Sing me That old song From many rains ago (repeats) When the rain fell down When the rain feel down Lost your children by the sea Take it from the land Many years ago Goodbye mother land Sing me That old song From many rains ago (repeats) Let the rain fall down Let the rain fall down You are the chosen one I got to go back to the motherland I got to get back to the motherland (repeats) Goodbye my baby Sing me That old song From many rains ago (repeats) Let the rain fall down Let the rain fall down You are the chosen one
