Likkle Africa - Alborosie

Jamaica, you are my likkle Africa

Woyy, yeah, yeah, yeah

Likkle Africa I’m a third class citizen

Puppa ridin' inna Babylon across di Schengen

Babylon by bus and by my side there’s no friend

We a go right through till di end well

Mi affi work hard and move right round di clock

Mi affi push down di rat, but mi nah see no jack

Likkle Africa too small, it nuh deh 'pon di maps so

That’s why dem nah tek no chat, well

Fifty cent inna the pocket cyan buy dem no meal

Inna this ya rat race there is no poor man deal

Fi dem head there’s not poor man pill

Just understand how mi feel

So we affi witness a new rising sun, come to us, yea

Is the prophecy of Marcus Garvey, teaching us, wey, ey

It’s the Lion Of Judah once again walking 'pon this land, wooh, yey, yey

I say oh, God is a living man

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free

Likkle Africa, rise and peace and

We gonna fulfill our destiny a walk away free

My people pace my come from my silence slavery

We earn the right to live, but lock to live in poverty

Likkle Africa di story is neva been told

Someone tell mi seh di truth is be lookin dem soul

For a case a long gun and a five pound of gold

Plus a mi mek cries look too pretty and bold

So as long as di gun dem, we’ll restore di orda

As long as a man will die, just to trying cross di borda-a

As long as those tears, will sick out mi fadda-fadda

As long as we will not find no peace, likkle Africa shall cry

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free

There will be a brand new day

Oh, my likkle Africa

My likkle Africa, woy, yey, yey, yey

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free

Only Jah can set my Africa free

My likkle Africa free

My likkle Africa free
