I couldn't help overhearing
All that my brother saying
(Speaking up)
Speaking the truth
Yeah
Standing up for the right
I was born and raised in the ghetto
And I know what it is to suffer
Asking the impossible
And I know it's out of sight
No more colour in the tone
This is not a game
I am a little dark
I'm to be blamed
They find me guilty
Of everything that I'm not guilty of, so
Freedom, freedom
Give di people what dem waan
That's what people say
What dem say, what dem say
Ah yes
What dem say now
Freedom, freedom
