Testo Working on this land

while acrossing ocean,

the said nice things to me,

i´ll try to be a good man,

i can´t while i´m not free.


now working for this white man,

as hard as i can,

yes now i´m working for them,

not for fun and not for you.



Working on this land for all day long,

try to beat the pain while singing this song,
can´t do a thing while your stabbing my back,

that all because my skin is black,



working on this land for all day long,

They say we work to slow,

i know thats just not true,

if you should only know,

what racisme does to you.



and why can´t the world see,

it´s black against white,

there´s no one who can help me,

there´s no one on our side.
