Lyrics
Now foundation, grass roots
You got to know the truth
If you don't know where you're coming from
You don't know where to go
Know the culture, and Hail to Haile Selassie
Say so!
Long ago (Long, long time ago)
Yes, long ago (Chaa!)
Pirates had their fun (Sea buccaneers)
In the burning sun (Uh huh)
Sixteen men (Sixteen men)
And a dead man's chest (Cha!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Baba father)
And a bottle of rum (Savva Jah)
Ahhhh (Cha!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Baba father)
Yaoh (Oh!)
Now when remarkable John Hawkins jumps like a bat
Dem come upon the base and now dem come yah with dem plot
Weh fi push we down a batch and but we rise up to the top
And now dem can not turn we back because we full up every gap
Cut we mother belly and a money dem a bet
Fi see what kind of baby, mama she a get
Cha! Is it a king? Is it a princess?
So you see me generation travel through distress
Sixteen men (Sixteen men)
And a dead man's chest (Wha!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh
Yaoh (Some kind of funny 'bout Jah truth)
Long ago (Hey!)
Yes, long ago
Pirates had their fun (Dem sea buccaneers, look)
In the burning sun (Here)
Ahhhh (Oh Jah Jah!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Cha!)
Yaoh
Well this is more than history, more than mystery
Over the years dem all a try fi trick we
No one cares about the poor black pickney
Down inna di bottom of the boat, dem zip we
Over we back whole heap a whip, dem whip we
Don't even mention the big boot kick we
That's why we know we haffi get we victory
See dem all a come fi come buy cut chip we
But we too slippery
Ahhhh (Uh oh!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Cha!)
Yaoh (Savva Jah)
Long ago (Long, long time ago)
Yes, long ago (Cha!)
Pirates had their fun (Dem sea buccaneers)
In the burning sun (Here, look here)
Sixteen men (Wha!)
And a dead man's chest (You feel di hustle)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (You feel di hustle)
Yaoh (Oh, you see)
Ahhhh (Me haffi chant, me haffi chant)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Hey!)
Yaoh (Cha!)
Inna di burning sun, inna di rain
Mi mother and mi father haffi chop di sugar cane
Punishment fi dem if dem ever complain
The pressure get hard, but dem still bear the pain
Load get heavy, dem a carry 'til dem strain
Some couldn't manage, so dem gone insane
Now dem a come with dem drugs and cocaine
See dem waan fi do it all over and over again
Ahhhh (Uh oh!)
Yaoh, yaoh, yaoh (Savva Jah)
Yaoh (Oh, hey!)
Long ago (Long, long time ago)
Yes, long ago (Wha!)
Pirates had their fun (Mhmm)
In the burning sun
Sixteen men (Wha' mi say?!)
