Born Free

Born free
Every black woman was born free
Every black child was born free
And that's how it's got to be, yes Lord
Born free
Every jack man was born free
Every little child was born free
Like rivers running down to sea

Woah well, I take a little trip and go a Scarborough
Ask them how the riddim them a go
I feel a little vibes and I know it's right
I'm burstin' a hit song tonight
To everything in life there is a season
And everyone has come here for a reason
And if you know that livin' up is just alright
Then come along and shine your light

'Cause we were born free
Every black woman was born free
Every black child was born free
And that's how it's got to be, yes Lord
Born free
Every jack man was born free
Every little child was born free
Like rivers running down to sea

It is just an African tradition
When our brother sends another invitation
If we all agree we would live as one
Just like the duo of Herman
You don't really need an application
If you want to live upon creation
Once you shine your light and you're livin' right
Then you're ready for Jah program

'Cause born free
Every black woman was born free
Every black child was born free
That's how it got to be, yes Lord
Born free
Every jack man was born free
Every ghetto child was born free
Like rivers running down to sea

Well well well (born free)
Woah well well (born free)
Woah woah well (born free)
Born free, yes

No power on Earth can hold us down
Get up, men, and stand your ground
No power on Earth
No, no power, woah

Take a little look down at Soweto
How Babylon a try put we pon go slow
But if we organize and centralize right now
Then you see how Africans would grow

'Cause we were born free
Every black woman was born free
Every black child was born free
And that's how it got to be, yes Lord
Born free
Every black man was born free
Every little child was born free
And that's how it got to be, yes, yes
Born free
Every little child was born free
And that's how it got to be, yes Lord
Born free
Every jack man was born free
Every ghetto child was born free
Like rivers running down to sea

Born free, yes
Like the birds in the tree, yeah
Like the fishes in the sea, woah
Born free, born free
