400 Years - Jesse Royal

Get up and do something

Don’t be counterproductive

All the people really want is peace and equality (hey hey)

Talking ‘bout reparation, for the Black Nation

Africa awaits and creates us (hey hey hey hey)

Black sweat and tears (hoo hoo),

For all these years

ripening the fruits of evolution oh (hey hey hey)

500 years and counting (counting)

500 years and counting (counting)

500 years and counting (counting)

And it still don’t add up (it don’t add up)

Get up and do something

Don’t be counterproductive

All the people really want is hands and our hearts together

Alright the youth say «one for all» and dem say «all for one»

Nah go betray Africa and inna houseman shrine

The pressure dem apply that one inna diamond

You will love to see the sub size in a pen diagram

Like a bully from a quarter, mister Bulls and I’m done

Change up your wellingness and maintain their cans

When walk ova, we like no bridge and Cow

Jah Jah made with straw

600 years and counting (600 years and counting)

600 years and counting (600 years and counting)

600 years and counting (600 years and counting)

And it still don’t add up (it don’t add up)

(Nah Nah Nah No)

Get up and do something

Don’t be counterproductive

All the people really want is peace and equality (hey hey)

Alright dem lace up the woods get ready affi try,

In the name of love by the grace of God

One by one mi ah step forward

Man in the Babylon ah live to up, why?

Till the silent pain reduce still not getting the rich men views

Words be cause man a tell di truth

Dem a sent eartime and left for you

You think you know me

you will be aware of how it feels seh we are home

Feel seh we are homie

But that if you ah a fi scar some face like a Tony

Before lights and land ah push all night 'til the morning

700 years and counting (counting)

700 years and counting (counting)

700 years and counting (counting)

And it still don’t add up (it don’t add up)

Let us go, free up the shackle now now now now now oh

Let us go, free up the shackle now now now now now oh
