Everyone remembers their past.
Building monuments,
museums, writing books,
so that their children's children
will never forget.
We must all learn from the past
so as not to repeat those things
that have kept us back for
over 500 years.
I could talk, I could talk, I could talk, I could talk, I could talk,
I could talk about the killing, the killing that them never mention,
killing was their intention,
blood suede shoes,
hands dipped in blood,
blood running from flesh
So me quit talk bout the
bottom of the sea
Escaping from slavery
Millions trying to be free
Preferring death, yet
Not to mention the plantation
Fighting for liberation
No mention, cause killing was their intention
So mek we talk, mek we talk, mek we talk,
mek we talk, mek we talk
Mek we talk bout the killing,
the killing that dem never mention
Killing was their intention
Die inna their will,
in the name of Jesus they kill
Still, we there
But who care, no mention
Cause killing is their intention
The lynching in the south
when we open we mouth
Many did die
Fi the few who live
So me kwe talk, me kwe talk
Me kwe talk,
me kwe talk, me kwe talk
Me kwe talk bout the killing
The killing that dem never mention
Killing was their intention
Thousands of Ethiopians
sprayed with poison
Mussolini army sanc
tioned by the Pope
Still we cope South Africa
children lay dead
Gunshots to their head
Famine on the land, a plan,
act of God, dem must be mad
So mek we talk, mek we talk,
mek we talk bout the killing
The killing that dem never mention
Killing was their intention
Environmental pollution,
created by their so -called solution
AIDS we all agree, it's no mystery,
lab tests, escape what a mess
so mek we talk, mek we talk,
mek we talk bout the killing,
the killing that dem never mention,
killing was their intention.
Over all the earth,
life nuh have no worth
But we survive the crimes,
still dey are inna these times
Blood suede shoes,
hands dipped in blood
Blood running from flesh
So mek we talk, mek we talk
Mek we talk, mek we talk, mek we talk
Mek we talk bout the killing
The killing that them never mention
Killing was their in tention
Mekwetak, Mekwe tak,
Mekwe tak,
