We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true
Are we just good for nothing so them figure
Worthless shifless nigger's

Head up to the sky

Giving us a brand new story
No mek tribal war destroys we

Let's bring about some unity.

We People of African blue

So long we've been denied
And were just not satisfied
