Is that why you hate my black skin so?
Is that why you hate my black skin so?
Does it remind you of what you lost?
Do you hate or do you lust?
Do you despise or do you yearn?
To return, to return, to return
Back to the motherland, back to the garden
Back to your black skin, back to the innocence
Back to the shine you lost when you enslaved your kin
Ooh
Ooh
Why do you try to touch my hair?
Do you hope to find a blessing there?
Why do you try to keep me down?
Do you hope to sow this barren ground?
With my black blood, black magic blood
With my black blood, black magic blood
Do I remind you of what you lost?
Do you hate or do you lust?
Do you despise or do you yearn?
To return, to return, to return
Back to the motherland, back to the garden
Back to your black skin, back to the innocence
Back to the shine you lost when you enslaved your kin
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
What do you hope for as you tie the rope?
What do you hope for as you hoist me up?
What do you hope for as you watch me swing?
Will the rainамnes trees salvation bring?
What do you hope for as you hoist me up?
Do I remind you of what you lost?

you lost? Do you hate or do you lust? Do you despise or do you yearn to return, to return,
to return? Back to the motherland, back to the garden, back to your black skin, back
to the innocence, back to the shine you lost when you enslaved your kin.
