HAITI: By Mutabaruka

Haiti

haiti yuh goin an' no one seem to care
haiti yuh goin neighbors beware
de poverty an' death that haunts everyday
de boat dat leave to de u.s.a.
yuh payin payin boukman is not a sleep
u gave us haiti de strength to fite
black people in de caribbean i say unite
brake de chains dat keep us apart
haiti suffers because it made a start
haiti haiti yuh 'ave de will
haiti haiti afrika calls u still

too black too strong you'll 'ave to pay
balcker than nite never seein de day
but too black is always de reason for your pain
but your fite for freedom will not be in vain

haiti yuh goin an' no one seem to care
haiti yuh goin neighbors beware

cuba beware
jamika beware
trinidad beware
greneda beware

haiti suffers because it made a start
but too black is no reason for pain
de blood for freedom wil always stain

haiti haiti you 'ave de will
haiti haiti afrika calls u still
caribbean leaders wat are u goin to do
today is haiti tomorrow is u
today is haiti tomorrow is u
