Lyrics
Oh, oh, oh
Say
Just take these chains away and set to me free
Release me out of bondage and we will all agree
Too long I've been a slave, don't wanna be no more
I would rather to dig my grave than be locked behind your door
Well, I wanna help myself be an independent man
No, I don't want none of that Babylon
Come on, hold on for me hand, no sir
So whether you black, whether you are white
I don't give a damn 'cause I know that we all can unite together now
Well, I have a chance but I'm not free
My life is now mortgaged to the building society
Well, my liberation, my hope and my destiny
Lies in my ability to stand up and be free
I'm saying, oh, I wanna help myself to be an independent man
I don't want none of that Babylon
Come on, hold on for me hand, no sir
So whether you black, whether you are white
I don't give a damn 'cause I know
That we all can unite black and white
Yo, I'm singing again, yeah, yeah
You set we free
Why don't you take these chains, break these chains
And set we free
Just take these chains away and set to me free
Release me out of bondage and we will all agree
Too long I've been a slave, don't wanna be no more
I would rather to dig my grave than be locked behind your door
I'm saying, oh, I wanna help myself to be an independent man
Oh Lord, I don't want none of that Babylon
Come on, hold on for me hand, no sir
So whether you black, whether you are white
I don't give a damn 'cause I know that we all can unite together now
I know you take these chains, break these chains
Take these chains, break these chains
And set we free
Why don't you set we free, set we free
