Garvey's Version Songtext
von Winston McAnuff

Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh

When Garvey left, he said we′d be free
From all Babylon brutality
No more war, no more poverty
In ah our society

It's too long now, we′ve been suffering, I say
It's too long now, we've been slaves
No one don′t even care about I′n'I these days
They′d rather see I man eat clay
But Jah told I man in a vision
That the reward of endurance is victory, I say

Whoa-ooh, oh-he-yo (ooh)
Whoa-ooh, ooh-oh (ooh)
Whoa-ooh, oh-he-yo (hee!)
Oh-we-yo, ooh-whoa
Aah, aah
Jove, Jove


But brother Garvey, your words must come through
Until that day, I shall not remove
I shall seat to see all who've done me wrong
Going down with Babylon

It′s too long now, we've been suffering I say
It′s too long now we've been slaves
No one don't even care about I′n′I these days
They'd rather see I man eat clay
But Jah told I man in a vision
That the reward of endurance is victory, I say

Whoa-he-oh, we-oh, we-yo
He-oh-oh, he-oh, he-oh
Ooh!
He-oh, he-oh, we-oh
Ah-ah, ahh
Oh, oh, ooh
Jove, Jove

No one don′t even care about I'n′I these days
They'd rather see I man eat clay
But Jah told I man in a vision
That the reward of endurance is victory, I say


Whoa-we-oh, we-oh, we-oh (ooh)
Whoa-he-oh, he-oh, we-oh (ooh)
Whoa-we-whoa, we-oh, we-oh
He-oh-we-oh, oh-we-oh (ooh)
Oh-we-oh, oh-we-oh (ooh)
Oh-uh-oh, oh-we-oh
He-na-na-na-ni-ni, na-na-ni-na
