Slavery came and took its toll In the name of John Bull Dog Said we turned ours backs on God Lost the powers that we had Now our backs against the wall Ask ourselves about the fall Rise rise rise Hold on to your culture
CHORUS
I don't wanna lose ya I don't wanna lose ya Never let them fool you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UgCs3d9xMc

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip, My blood runs cold. I remember on the slave ship, How they brutalize the very souls. Today they say that we are free, Only to be chained in poverty. Good God, I think it's illiteracy; It's only a machine that makes money. Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.
Slave driver, uh! The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire) Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip, My blood runs cold. I remember on the slave ship, How they brutalize the very soul.
O God, have mercy on our souls! Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire) Catch a fire ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KqLUTJ3vCw&feature=related

Old pirates, yes, they rob I; Sold I to the merchant ships, Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit. But my hand was made strong By the 'and of the Almighty. We forward in this generation Triumphantly. Won't you help to sing This songs of freedom 'Cause all I ever have: Redemption songs; Redemption songs.
Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; None but ourselves can free our minds. Have no fear for atomic energy, 'Cause none of them can stop the time. How long shall they kill our prophets, While we stand aside and look? Ooh! Some say it's just a part of it: We've got to fullfil the book.
