Buried in my ancestry,

I'm sworn to always be a servant;

A nurse within the colony,

They took me by my hand and I saw my people had a purpose.

Colonised a victimised,

Our master's now gonna reach their hands out,

And I take them for their promise,

But as soon as I arrive, I put the muzzle on and tense my neck up.

Oh the cycle continues,

Empty promises, talks of tolerance,

Oh the bible taught virtues,

Love thy neighbour, but burn in providence,

I remember it all my friends,

I’m in awe of your galls my friend,

Worked in sugarcane,

Bled into the plane,

Still I’m stuck with you ’til the end

I nurse you and work through the nights,

Still, I owe you,

We lie in dirt, chew our gums when there’s no food,

You lied, we got got,

We’re never on top,

Indentured for centuries,

The channel turns red
