Brave & Bold
Dem waan fi di Middle East oil pit
Hail Marcus Garvey di Pan-Afrikan teacher
Wi nah laughingstock you know that

The vanguard of the Black redemption
Mi tell you seh Rasta children persecution no come easy
Alright!

Oh yes
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
Hey we trodding from the days of old
Alright yes
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We be coming from far, tell babylon leave us alone
I’ll be standing on the ocean edge
Still holding firm to repatriation pledge
All Black man are my kindred
With a robe upon wi back and and turban upon di head
Hey you wanna feel the freshest seas wind
Keen but neva satisfied, I’m so determined
To wipeout and burn
Ithiopia still reigning. It’s just the blessing of The King yes
Now the world gone mad with them money gaze
Dem leave the poor man inna gloomy haze
Hey dem still inna dem island slave trade
Wi city fulla buccaneer and pirate
Now, now, now
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We be trodding it from the days of old
Oh now now
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We been coming from far
Babylon leave us alone
Illuminati full of distortion to seal there crime
Freemasons fighting for voting seats so dem go sign
Ethiopian potency got no right
I see boasy slave wanna work it out for light
Dem hunting for Black man DNA for sale, taking what’s rightfully mine
A machine staying on to see false documents arrive
Dem a mek phone call in secret which must come to light
Cold situation at night
Offshore banking, paper Geneva decoy
They keep on telling us a lie
They neva hear the Black man cry
Hey! Alright! Alright!
Oh yes!
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
Hey man trodding it from the days of old
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
Man coming from far
Tell babylon fi leave us alone
Lying and robbing is babylon game
For the rights of Jah, no man, they got no shame
We were free before they came
Now they roam from place to place, hey
Civilization they would have known
We got a life, a life of our own yes
The man with the melanin smiles with the sun
That mean a straight fyah bun!
Hey the system dem full up of hypocrisy
Now mi hear dem a cry fi democracy
And mi si seh dem a some money capitalists
Dem really waan fi bomb di Middle East oil pits yeah
Di bitter dark become a bitter oasis
CNN, CBS, BBC fulla tricks whoa
Tell di youths dem nah fi watch it
A judgment Rasta ready fi go gash it
Alright whoa
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We been yadding it from the days of old
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We been coming from far
Tell babylon fi leave us alone
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We been yadding it from far, hey from the days of old, alright
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul
We been coming from far
Babylon leave I alone
Blackness made us brave and bold
Afrikan life and Afrikan soul [“”]
