Gyasi Went Home Lyrics

Where do you come from?
You come from anywhere
You come from country where, water falls free to the sea

I heard the English said
You got the best of it
When Raleigh washed up and found solid gold in his hands

There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But you know...he's only breaking the law

There was a hill coolie, and a transatlantic slave
There came a day when they broke free of their chains
Now in country tempers run hot like Caribbean sun
And the water flows, Gyasi when he went home

There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But you know...he's only breaking the law

There was a woman, who gave all her pearls
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world
And in the morning, rebel you call
But you know...he's only breaking the law
