Chronixx – Capture Land lyrics

[Intro]
And I say Dread and Terrible pon dem
Good god of grace, well I have his mercy
And me say old slave driver
Time is catching up on you
Old slave driver
I know your sins dem a haunt you

[Chorus]
Carry we go home, Carry we go home
And bring we round a east
Cause man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land
Carry we go home
An mek we settle and seize
Caw man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land

[Verse 1]
Lord America a capture land
Di whole a Jamaica a capture land
A long time dem wah trick the rasta man
Like dem nuh know say that man a real African
Yuh tink me nuh memba King Ferdinand
And teifing Columbus have a Golden plan
Dem make a wrong turn and end up in the Caribbean
One rass genocide kill nuff indian
Lord, Fi turn paradise in a plantation
And bring cross one ship load a African
Now here comes the tiefing Queen from England
No she Cromwell and Henry Morgan
Century pon top a century full a sufferation
And after four hundred year mi see no reparation
And now dem wah fi kill we wid taxation
But a beg you please take me to the mother land

[Chorus]
Carry we go home, Carry we go home
And bring we round a east
Cause man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land
Carry we go home
An mek we settle and seize
Caw man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land

[Verse 2]
Watch dem pon di top a di hill
A look inna dem plate how it proper, all it fill
Because down town have shotta fi kill
Dem tell the tourist say fi stop a Negril
So come mek we start a new chapter
We nah stay pon di land weh dem capture
An' me say Africa fi all true rasta
A so, go tell di unscrupulous factors say

[Chorus]
Carry we go home, Carry we go home
And bring we round a east
Cause man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land
Carry we go home
An mek we settle and seize
Caw man a rasta man
And rasta nuh live pon no capture land

[Verse 3]

And New York City, dat a capture land
East some a di place weh you wah go live sweet
A teifing land there's no title fi it
And some a these place weh you wah go live nice
A tief dem tief it in the name of Christ
In Spanish Town, dat a capture land
The whole a Kingston, dat a capture land
Remember Portland, dat a capture land
And all down a Trinidad, dat a Capture land

Tell dem Bermuda, dat a Capture land
And tell Columbia, say dat a Capture land
All round a Cuba, say dat a Capture land
