Why black man dey suffer today
Why black man dey suffer today
Why black man no get money today
Why black man no get money today
Why black man no go for moon today
Why black man no go for moon today
This is the reason why, tell me
This is the reason why, tell me again
This is the reason why
We dey sit down for our land jeje
We dey sit down for our land jeje
We dey mind our business jeje
Some people come from far away land
Them fight us and take our land
Them take our people land, spoil our towns
Na since then trouble start o
Na since then trouble start o
One more time
Na since then trouble start o
Our riches them take away to their land
In return them give us their colony
Them take our culture away from us
Them give us them culture we no understand
Black people we no know ourselves
We no know our ancestral heritage
We dey fight each other everyday
We are never together, we are never together at all
We are never together, we are never together at all
That is why black man dey suffer today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
Tell me again
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
They take our culture away
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
They take our riches away
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
They take our land from us
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
They take our people away
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to think of time to come
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to think of our children to come
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
We have to be together and unite
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man dey suffer today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man no go for moon today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man no get money today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man dey suffer
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man dey suffer today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man dey suffer today
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
That is why black man dey suffer
(That is why black man dey suffer today)
