Black people you are free

Set the people free

Yeah it's been a long while now we have been fighting to overcome all these evils

Chorus

Free..I just want to be free 

Like da birds in the tree tree.

Like a bird in the tree tree

Verse 1

Technically man nuh free

Still in captivity mentally 

Can I chose to be or not to be 

Can I enter this place without a fee

Or live in this world without no money 

Get them girls without charm or penny 

Build this house pon this land from the almighty 

Without babylon come try tek it from me.

Like a bird in the tree.

Take every chance my people advance

That's what my ancestors been fighting for

So the youths of today will grow to be the stars

Sit and reign you have been through the wars

Freedom is a must to every African offspring 

Give thanks to the most high King

Without babylon come try tek it from me.
