Sons of Slaves Lyrics
[00:02.35] Children of Israel
[00:06.02] This is the time, we must come together
[00:10.92] Live in unity!
[00:16.08] Are we not the sons of slaves?
[00:20.10] (Yes we are, I said yes we are)
[00:23.20] Are we not the sons of slaves? (Yeah)
[00:29.23] Are we not the children that run away from plantations? (Yes we are, I said yes we are)
[00:37.26] Are we not the children of Israel?
[00:42.76] They took us away from Africaland
[00:46.19] Brought us down here in Babylon
[00:49.62] Now we all like a roaring lian
[00:53.28] Jah high, Jah high, yeah
[00:57.58] Are we not the sons of slaves?
[01:01.76] (Yes we are, I said yes we are)(Help me now, now)
[01:04.63] Are we not the children that run away from plantations? (Yes we are, I said yes we are)
[01:11.53] Are we not gonna get no freedom? Help me now, now
[01:18.24] How long will it take you to give us a little justice?
[01:24.27] Took us away on a rocking ship
[01:27.95] And that would be heavy, ginnal ship
[01:31.39] All we could feel, was the rocking whip
[01:35.08] Jah high, Jah high, yeah
[01:39.43] Are we not the sons of slaves?
[01:43.46] (Yes we are, I said yes we are)
[01:46.60] Are we not the children of Israel?

[01:54.32]
[02:05.58] They took us away from Africaland
[02:09.11] Brought us down here in Babylon
[02:12.68] Now we all like a roaring lian
[02:16.30] Jah high, Jah high, yeah
[02:20.85] Mister big man, how long will it take you, to give us justice?
[02:27.94] Are we not the sons of slaves? (Yeah)
[02:35.05] Are we not the children of Israel? Help me now, now
[02:41.17] How long, how long, how long will it take you? Take you
[02:48.17] (Why, oh why, why, oh why people like you have to treat us like this?)
[02:54.14] (Why, oh why, why, oh why people like you have to treat us like this?)
