They tricked us with trinkets and beads
|
And tricked us right into slavery
|
Traditional customs
|
Crafts and arts
|
They put in their museums
|
Oh people don¡¯t you see the plot...yeh
|
To take all we¡¯ve got
|
|
CHORUS
|
Got to save Black music
|
Fight to save sweet music now
|
Got to save Black music now
|
|
Le the music flow, oh Lord
|
|
We¡¯ve paid that price so many times
|
Comes to claimin¡¯ dues we¡¯re the first in line
|
Freedom songs echoed these plantations
|
I and I survive
|
To this present time
|
Oh people don¡¯t you see the plot
|
To take all we¡¯ve got
|
|
CHORUS
|
Got to save Black music
|
Fight to save sweet music now
|
Got to save Black music now
|
|
Music sweet music ha ha ha
|
It no funny
|
|
Through our sprits came
|
Reggae Jazz Funk and Blues
|
Music the food of life
|
So don¡¯t just stand there
|
And let them take your share
|
They claim that fame
|
And give you not a care
|
|
We walk those streets
|
Without a dime
|
Play hid and seek
|
The pie in the sky
|
|
CHORUS
|
Got to save Black music
|
Fight to save sweet music now
|
Got to save Black music now
|
|
Here me when I say
|
Gather round come get strong
|
Help I sing this freedom song
|
Save Black music now
|
Keep it in control now
|
Never let it go now
|
Keep it in control now
|
