Yabby You - Oh What An Opression (1982)

My forefathers came from Africa
Brought here as a slave
How can I have an Englishman's name?

The white man the chinee man
The Indians and the Syrians
All nations have their own name

They robbed us of our culture
They robbed us of our language
They robbed us of our women our music they take away

Oh why oh why what an oppression oh God oh Lord
Oh why oh why what an oppression

It's more than 400 years
We're livin' in this western hemisphere
Still we just can't reach nowhere

Babylon just have us right here living in fear
Babylon don't even care

They robbed us of our culture
They robbed us of our language
They robbed us of our wealth our strength they take away

Oh why oh why what an oppression oh Jah oh why
Oh why oh why what an oppression

They robbed us of our culture
They robbed us of our language
They robbed us of our women our music they take away

Oh why oh why what an oppression Jah Jah
Oh why oh why what an oppression

It's more than 400 years
We're livin' in this western hemisphere
Still we just can't reach nowhere

Babylon just have us right here living in fear
Babylon don't even care...
