Black Soul

Burning Spear

It is not good to travel today

Neither to cross the ocean

Desert's so dry

Water-thirst kill you



Don't good to travel today

Neither to cross the ocean

Desert's so dry

Water-thirst kill you

Kill you, kill you, kill you

Kill you, kill you



When it wet it slippery, yeah

When it damp it cramp your belly

Don't want to see you underground

Don't want to see you underground

Underground, underground, underground



Caution, my brother, caution, take heed

Black soul, you're black as they

Soul black, soul black

Soul black, soul black, soul black



I'm proud I'm black

I'm proud I'm black

I'm rejoicing I'm black

Who know black a go black again

Who know black a go black again

Soul black

My skin is black

Soul black, oh, soul black



Two more things for I to tell you right now

Two more things for I to tell you right now

Two more...



My old great grandmother-mother-mother

Great-great-great-greater-great grandmother-mother-mother-mother

She is black, soul black, yeah

She is black



My old great grandfather

Greater-greater-great-great-great-great-great

Grandfather-father-father-father-father-father-father, oh oh

He is black, soul black, soul black



So don't good to travel today

Neither to cross the ocean

Desert's so dry

Water-thirst kill you, oh

Kill you, oh

Kill you, mmm



Don't good to travel today

Neither to cross the ocean...
