They arrived on the coast of Benin
We were blacks before they came,
Their mission was to sway us of our luxuries
Indirectly, we barter our culture for civilization,
Merchants bought us for a worth, and we became a slave in a trade
When we were in the belly of fish
We turned praise to freedom songs
And we started enchanting it
The wall of our captivity fell like the wall in Jericho
Oh, verily we can sing about our freedom & walk in the freedom park
The freedom is here, but shattered
Our political monsters fed us with lies
Our nation is dwindling in poverty
Despite the boom in oil
We're a third world country despite the civilization
Maybe we should not have asked for the freedom.
