Let it go, You got to live life irie now. Let it go, You got to love each other now.(x2)
Verse 1:
Let’s talk about oppression, I’m guessin, like Stevie, I wonder ‘Cause I was taught not to love another brother for his color Or hate a race that’s makin’ me hate this country that I live in ‘cause it sure don’t be the greatest Forever let’s come together and make it better ‘Cause I’d quicker give my life for somethin’ right than rather let a racist closed-minded, apartheid, or another David Duke-talkin’, high & mighty, stupid motha-f*cker I’ve seen a many things that make my head get dizzy Only thing that makes me happy is all people gettin’ busy No derogatory, like a South-African story Let’s rise up and fight like Denzel back in Glory Punch out the dumb sh*t, quick with a one-two Red, Black, White, Brown, or Yellow, ya’ll, I love you Let’s come together like Martin Luther King and everybody in the place “Won’t you help to sing!”
(Chorus)
Verse 2:
It goes back a couple hundred years ago or so I’m taught The wars, the tribes, in Africa they fought Like voodoo, the mighty Zulu became the new crew And conquered all because of power; now what would you do? Took people from A-land and they land up kings With some hostages that they would soon want to bring to the white man; who, in his right hand, offered them guns or money, food, clothing, and don’t forget rum Blacks selling blacks but who woulda thought that a few years later the kings would get caught Because the white men didn’t like them and needed many ‘Cause they were too lazy to do the work when there was any So they stole the rest; robbed from Africa it’s breast And every black could feel what it was like to be oppressed Makes me sick that these dicks did such a thing So in the words of Bob Marley, ya’ll: “Won’t you help to sing!”
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Let’s drop-kick racism with a steel-toed boot Take it from me, the Dog, and my homies call me Coot and the letters in my name, they make it better; let us see What goes behind them letters: C O O T Caucasian Opposing Oppression Today Remember the words of my mentor, Marvin Gaye “Mercy, Mercy Me” it’s hurtin’ when I see a white beat a black to my university I didn’t ask for my color and nor am I glad that there might have been some racist in my greatest-granddad But I doubt it, ‘cause like I said before: ‘we all are people’ & Latin, Black, & White you know that we all are equal The evil: it have fe stop & get dropped Ask Mystic Roots, the Ku-Klux-Klan them BLOODCLOT! So with a voice, a song, a dream that I bring Everybody in the world: “Won’t you help to sing!”
