CHORUS
|
A dis ya version
|
A no King James version
|
¡®Cause out of Africa
|
Came the Garden of Eden
|
|
Hidden from me I was never told
|
Ancient prophets black and bold
|
Like Daniel, King David and Abraham
|
Israel were all black men
|
I don¡¯t wanna lose you
|
|
Japhet tried his best to erase
|
The godly parts we played
|
I says he came and took
|
And never mention in his book... so
|
|
CHORUS
|
A dis ya version
|
A no King James version
|
¡®Cause out of Africa
|
Came the Garden of Eden
|
|
In Esau¡¯s chapter of history
|
So little mention of you and me
|
We rulers of kingdoms and dynasties
|
Explored this Earth for centuries
|
I don¡¯t wanna lose ya
|
Phoenicians, Egyptians and the Moors
|
Built civilisation, that¡¯s for sure
|
Creators of the alphabet
|
While the West illiterate..yeh
|
|
CHORUS
|
A dis ya version
|
A no King James version
|
¡®Cause out of Africa
|
Came the Garden of Eden
|
|
African heritage
|
I don¡¯t wanna lose ya
|
Oh, no
|
|
Slavery came and took its toll
|
In the name of John Bull Dog
|
Said we turned our backs on God
|
Lost the powers that we had
|
Now our backs against the wall
|
Ask ourselves about the fall
|
Rise rise rise
|
Hold on to your culture
|
|
CHORUS
|
A dis ya version
|
A no King James version
|
¡®Cause out of Africa
|
Came the Garden of Eden
|
|
I don¡¯t wanna lose ya
|
I don¡¯t wanna lose ya
|
Never let them fool you
|
