Black man arise and free your land
Can't you see the time is at hand?
For so long they got us down
We've made up our mind, we're going home
I say, seven miles off Black Star liner
Coming in the harbor, oh yes
I say, and anyone wants to go back to Africa
Just come on over, oh yes
Say, we want fi go home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner, mi tell them
Home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner, Caribbean
Yes, a weh them carry I and I
Far from Africa, a thousand and more miles
Never get fi take a dip inna di river Nile
Say them come inna peace, weh them were so hostile
Took us from we land, now we stay pon them soil
It's partyation and that we haffi profile
Don't pressure and stupid, we nah go take it with a smile
If a up them did a take, we woulda stand by them
Haffi go home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner, mi tell them
Home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner
I say, every man should have a right
To live his own life without any fight
Africa is where the black man belong
We don't want to stay here in Babylon
No, no way
I say, seven miles off Black Star liner
Coming in the harbor, oh yes
And anyone wants to go back to Africa
Come on over, oh yes
I and I say, open the gate
Time fi we party, hey
Back to Africa and mi say no time fi waste
Fire burn down Babylon, terror have fled
Hotter fire bun and nothing nah get take
We a go burn down Rome and them Vatican ways
Pope and all, hotter fire blaze
Haffi go home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner, mi tell them
Home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner
Seven miles off Black Star liner
Coming in the harbor, oh yes
And anyone wants to go back to Africa
Just come on over, come on over
They took us away from our father's land
Carried us here to Babylon
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Black man's redemption is a must
Is a must, yeah
Say, we want fi go home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner, mi tell them
Home far over da Africa
Haffi hitch a ride upon di Black Star liner
