Hi Yo

HI YO

Hi Yo Hi Yo looking back in tha past

Of what we have been through

Travelling through tha middle passage

Beyond sea of seas

And call round here tha Caribbean sea

Where we suffer Lord

When we think about Africa

Mother land Africa

Hi Yo Hi Yo Hi Yo Hi Yo

African bound Hi Yo Hi Yo

When we think of Africa we think about home

That where we should be

More than down here in captivity

Treat us like we are nothing

Treat us like footstool

But Jah let us survive there evilous devices

Hi Yo Hi Yo Hi Yo Hi Yo

We will survive

All that they do

we will survive

In my history

There I can see

They did not care for our ancestors

So they don't care for you and I

All they have in their mind

is to keep us in slavery

And down wanna set us free

but we have to be free

Looking back at tha past

Of what we have we have been through

Looking back at tha past

Pure sadness I see

Looking back at tha past

Pure sad memories

Looking back Hi Yo Hi Yo Hi Yo
