Bedouin Soundclash - Gyasi Went Home Lyrics

Where do you come from? 
You come from anywhere 
You come from country where, waterfalls feed 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 free of 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
