Gyasi Went Home lyrics

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

I heard the English said, you got the best of it
When raleigh washed up and found gold all 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 away from all their chains

In country tempers run 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
