Songtexte Rocking Ship - Jesse Royal , Green Lion Crew , Kumar

Are we not the sons of slaves?
Are we not the children of Israel?

Took us away on a rocking ship
Under the heavy ginalship
All we could feel was the cracking whip
Jah heart, Jah heart

Say, in this very tricky time you got to broaden your mind
Seek and you will find which ladder you fi climb
Observe the signs and don't you play blind
My brother, there will never ever be a better time
In this very tricky time you've got to broaden your mind
Seek and you will find which ladder you fi climb
Observe the signs and don't you play blind
My children, there'll never ever be a better time
And no, it ain't the length of the locks
Yo, it's the heart or the mind
Knowledge without wisdom is like water in the sand
Love is the ultimate, now don't you be no vagabond
Your father is a king so don't you live like no pawn
Every human being is their own author
The page won't turn until the meds alter
Children of Zion gather or falter
It's our souls that they're after

Took us away from African land
Brought us down here in Babylon
Now we are just two roaring lions
Jah heart, Jah heart

Say, if you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything
Twice defeated inna the race if there ain't confidence within
Don't you be the first one to throw no stone when you see sin
'Member your roots when chasing fruits
Or you will drop off of the limb
Whether you illiterate or have a lot of doctorate
You no know 'bout Jah Jah, you no know nuttin' yet
Whether you illiterate or have a lot of doctorate
You no know 'bout Jah Jah, you no know nuttin' yet
The teachings of the wise is the spring of life
To side step the snares of death
You better learn to analyze before you criticize
Don't be swayed by no sentiment
One hand cyan clap and it's not iron as it iron
No man is an island, arrogance is a tribe
Would white still be white if blue was black?
Hey, will you open your arms or will you keep your doors locked?

Took us away on a rocking ship
Under the heavy ginalship
All we could feel was the cracking whip
Jah heart, Jah heart

Worldwide solution
This is a worldwide solution
Worldwide solution
No more confusion, no illusion, no pollution
Worldwide solution
This is a worldwide solution
Worldwide solution
No more illusion, no pollution, no confusion
Israel, Israel
Break the chain
Israel, Israel
Break the chain
Israel, Israel
Israel, Israel
Hear what I say
Are we not the sons of slaves?
Are we not the ones who work the plantation?
Are we not the children of Israel?
Are we not the children of Israel?
