Alborosie - Likkle Africa Lyrics

Jamaica
You are my likkle Africa
Woii, yeah, yeah, yeah

Likkle Africa, I'm a third class citizen
Puppa ridin' inna Babylon across di Schengen
Babylon by bus and by my side there's no friend
We a go right through 'til di end, well
Me haffi work hard and move right 'round di clock
Me haffi push down di rat, but me nah see no jack
Likkle Africa too small, it nuh deh pon di maps so
That's why dem nah tek no chat, well
Fifty cent inna the pocket cyaan' buy dem no meal
Inna this yah rat race there is no poor man deal
Fi dem head, heart soon bad and there's no poor man pill
Just understand how me feel
So we haffi witness a new rising sun, come to us, yeah (the rising sun)
Is the prophecy of Marcus Garvey, teaching us, wey, yeah (teaching us)
It's the lion of Judah once again walking 'pon this land
Whoa, yeah, yeah (ooh)
I say, oh, God is a living man (oh)

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free

Likkle Africa, rice and peas and callaloo ting
We gonna fulfill our destiny a walk away free
My people face mark up from a silent slavery
We earn the right to live, but locked in di poverty
Likkle Africa di story's neva been told
Someone tell mi seh di truth has been looted and sold
For a case a long gun and a five pound of gold
Plus dah image of mi Christ look too pretty and bold

So as long as di gun dem will restore di orda-a-a (orda-a-a)
As long as a man will die, just to trying cross di borda-a (borda-a)
As long as those tears, will sick out mi Fada-a-a (Fada-a-a)
As long as we will not find no peace
Likkle Africa shall cry

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free

There will be a brand new day
Oh, my likkle Africa
My likkle Africa
Woii, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free
Only Jah can set my Africa free
My likkle Africa free
My likkle Africa free

Only Jah can set my Africa free (Africa free)
My likkle Africa free (Africa free)
Only Jah can set my Africa free (Africa free)
My likkle Africa free (Africa free)
Only Jah can set my Africa free (Africa free)
My likkle Africa free (Africa free)
Only Jah can set my Africa free (Africa free)
My likkle Africa free (Africa free)
