They told us that we had to leave

Because we were too dumb and naive

We had arrows but they had guns

We shouldn’t have fought we should’ve just run

They looked at us and thought we were ludicrous

And in the end, we were indeed delirious

Because they took our homes and pushed us into slavery

But all I really wanted in life was to be free

My whole life long all I did was believe

And after everything, I know this is a dream that I can achieve

You think that you have won

But for us, this fight has just begun

You drink the clean water, eat the good food, and we get the leftovers which is the dust

Your actions ignite the flames of this fire that is in all of us

We became items for your European shopping spree

But you must've forgotten that we are human beings, not pieces of jewelry

You took everything from us you thieves

And I hope one day what you deserve you will receive

You will be on your knees because it can’t be outrun

And just like everything that you’ve done, it can’t be undone

Just how the whip that you used on me is impervious

But the words you said make me querulous

And I surmise that one day you’ll see

Why everyone should be free
