Gyasi Went Home

Where do you come from?

You come from anywhere

You come from country where water flows free to the sea

I heard the English said

You got the best of it

When Raleigh washed up and found gold in his hand

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 know he's only breaking the law

There was a hill coolie and a transatlantic slave

There came a day when they broke away from 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 know he'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 know he's only breaking the law
