Reparations

Lyrics by A. Bakari

Brothers, sisters

We must all take a stand

All of the Americas, Caribbean to the mother land

Brothers, sisters we must all become one

For indeed time is now work must be done

From time long ago

The path has been clear

Anti-African anti-nature

All the things we hold near

Rally the troops the call been made forward we go

Pan African nation time

There’s a debt that is owed

Reparations 

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh we say

Reparations

 

In the bottom of boats we were

Packed like sardines

Walking in the mid-day sun in chains across the Sahara

All the time resisting and fighting

Like none you’ve ever seen

Brothers and sisters strong determined and united

Rally the troops

The call been made 

Forward we go

Pan African nation time

There’s a debt that is owed

Reparations

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh we say

Reparations

 

Pay what you owe

You know you do

Truth has been told 

Crime is on you

Even if you don’t

Demand has been made

You’re wrong in our eyes

For the Atlantic and the east coast slavery

 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh we say

Reparations
