My heart is filled with grief, when I remember, who-oh,
How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, ey-yes.
Shipped to every corner of this earth, woy,
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, yes,
They would be spanked with many strikes by the master, woy,
If they should ever not do just what they're told, yea-e.
It really grieves my heart to see,
It's pure brutality, I, yes, oh-oh.
Whenever I recall my history,
It grieves my heart, you see,
How they've treated our foreparents,
In the days of slavery, ah-ah-ah..
Slavery, and brutality,
That's all they give me, wo-oh.
That's all they give me, yeh-eh.
(..)
My heart is filled with grief, when I remember, who-oh,
How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, ye-ee.
Shipped to every corner of this earth, wo-oh,
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, yea,
They would be spanked with many strikes by the master, wo-oh,
If they should ever not do just what they're told, yea-e.
It really grieves my heart to see,
It's pure brutality, I, oh-oh.
My heart is filled with grief, when I remember, yea-ee,
How they've taken our foreparents from their homeland, o-woy.
Shipped to every corner of this earth, o-woy,
Bound in shackles and chain like their beast, ah-um..
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know.. my history.
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know..
