Ooh

African children from the old and new generation
You better get yourself together, this is the 2020 revelation
Remember now what's your purpose
And Jah Rastafari nuh desert us
Never get caught up ina di circus
One more century full of work to do, so
Nothing is holding you back
Brother, come mek we try to mother Africa
I'll tell you nothing and nothing is holding you back
Yeah

Notes of a native son who's always been the most hated one
And learned too young to never turn away and run
And how whichever CD sold just never grows
He's waiting on a hero to come who never shows
A soaken rag with an hourglass broke in half
Black snowflakes from ash of a smoking flag
They dance in the wind like bodega bags
How much longer has, man I'm afraid to ask
Listen, to reach 20 exceeds expectations
When kids catch bullets and Jake don't catch cases
With lives cut short on a back to back basis
It's the same expression attached to black faces
They told us to question everything, believe nothing
The D's hunting for the ones who achieve something
I heard another undergrad didn't come to class
Damn, black body fell below the underpass

African children from the old and new generation
You better get yourself together, this is the 2020 revelation
Remember now what's your purpose
And Jah Rastafari nuh desert us
Never get caught up ina di circus
One more century full of work to do, so
Nothing is holding you back
Brother, come mek we try to mother Africa
I'll tell you nothing and nothing is holding you back
Yeah

Cah dem cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Ah Babylon cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Nuh of them cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Ah Babylon cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Ah Babylon cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we
Cyaan hold we now
Cyaan hold we now
Cyaan hold we now
Cowardly in the morning 
Cyaan hold we evening 
Cyaan hold we when the sun down 
Ay
Cyaan hold we in the sun, right 
Dem cyaan, cyaan
Cyaan hold we now
You better let go from me 
You better let me go 
You better let me go 
Cyaan hold we no longer
Him cyaan hold me now
You better let me go
