Ginjah - White Lies Lyrics

Intro
I'll never forget who I am,
I know, I know I am a black man.
I'll never forget who I am,
Hmm, Nooo.

Chorus
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies.
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies.
Verse 1
Dreaming of the day,
When we all should be free.
Them still see us as slave,
That's all they want us to be.
Before the days of Marcus Garvey,
Onto the civil rights,
Them never give us no justice,
Them never treat us right.

Chorus
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies.
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies.

Verse 2
They design to kill every champion for the black race.
So many black leaders, lying flat on them face.
Shedding the blood of my ancestors,
But you can't stop me nation,
Martin Luthor King had a vision.
Babylon release the chain and still a use them brain.
From nineteen O long and today a the same.
Weh me mean black youth that nothing no change.
If them see we and nuh like we, that nuh strange.
Mamma earth a ball out, too much blood stain,
From picket cotton and chop sugar cane.
Through the middle passage, nuff gone down the drain.
Come yah pon a ship, we never come yah pon a plane.

Chorus
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That I am a free man.
White lies, white lies.
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
Somewhere I read in your history books,
That we all free men.
White lies, white lies
White lies, white lies
Well the say that slavery abolish 1834 in Jamaica,
But we still facing the same things our ancestors face,
We tired a this
We tired a this
