Where do you come from man, you come from anywhere?
You come from country where water flows free to the seaI heard the English said, you got the best of it
When raleigh washed up and found gold all in his handsThere was a woman who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new worldAnd in the morning, rebel, you call
But you know, he's only breaking the lawThere was a hill coolie, and a transatlantic slave,
There came a day when they broke away from all their chainsIn country tempers run like Caribbean sun
and the water flows, Gyasi when he went homeThere was a woman who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new worldAnd in the morning, rebel, you call
But you know, he's only breaking the lawThere was a woman who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new worldAnd in the morning, rebel, you call
But you know, he's only breaking the law
