Where do you come from? You come from anywhere You come from country where, water falls free to the sea I heard the English said You got the best of it When Raleigh washed up and found solid gold in his hands There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you knowhe's only breaking the law There was a hill coolie, and a transatlantic slave There came a day when they broke free of their chains Now in country tempers run hot like Caribbean sun And the water flows, Gyasi when he went home There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you knowhe's only breaking the law There was a woman, who gave all her pearls The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world And in the morning, rebel you call But you knowhe's only breaking the law
