Freedom Cry - Sizzla Kalonji

Glory be on to the Father and to the Son

Ruler of creation, Honorable

Oh Israel, Isikiel

Them yah rebel warrrior, them ah go rebel

And I won’t fail, much less to compel

You have the knowledge you tell

Emanuel say up with Jah palaces

Down with your folly things

Light in your crevices

No matter what it is

Look within the scene

The Nyabinghi keeps rollin', ey

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black man rise, too long you dey under disguise

Up with Jah palaces

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black woman rise, too long you’ve been under your disguise

So long in affliction, the Conquering Lion shall help

And everyday the robbers of the people

Keep on exhalting themselves

Yo, why y’all so greedy?

Robbing from the needy

Hey ey ey where is the poor man’s wealth?

No this isn’t easy, would you believe me?

Babylon is messing up your wealth

They form the reason, we have been prisoned

Youths let your voices be heard

Yo, and every season them target Black people

To kill the innocent they have the nerve

Up with Jah palaces

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black man rise, too long you dey inna your disguise

Up with Jah palaces

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black man rise, too long you dey inna disguise

No more suffering, we ah go home

No more rustling, to the throne

To ease all ah the pain we afi chant fi go home

Release the mental chain from down inna Rome

Nuttin you ah gain and every day you ah moan

No strain to give us the honey from the comb

More and more rain pouring down

Hardcore warrior tell me how me sound

Inflation ah crush ya just like bomb

Fluctuation ah rush you outta dem town

Come we go ah Africa and lef dem alone

Most you slayed why is it you crave for more

Tell them this

Well ah Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise

Up with Jah palaces

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise

Well, I receive the blessing of the morning

From afar I hear Ethiopia calling

Tell them fi, give I the knowledge of the King

The power of the Trinity always lie within

Ah innocent slave down inna the west

From Africa them tek we that make me vex

Pon them slave ship ah black man full every deck

And down inna the west me nah go flow no flap with ex, yo

Ey Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black man rise, salvation never come inna disguise

Up with Jah palaces

Freedom cry

Black people wipe the tears from your eyes, yea

Black woman rise, salvation never come inna disguise

Oh Israel and Isikiel

Them yah rebel warrrior, them ah go rebel

And I won’t fail, much less to compel

You have the knowledge you tell

Emanuel say up with (echoing)…
