La rotta degli schiavi


La storia ci racconta
Quando in
Africa il progresso
Veniva da lontano
Su una nave affamata
La nave si mangiava
La fiera razza nera
Condita con le lacrime
Il sangue e le catene
E mentre si cullava
Sulle onde del gran mare
Comincia il lungo viaggio
Per poterla vomitare
La rotta degli schiavi
Per l'America del
Nord
L'unico viaggio gratis
Che gli hanno fatto fare
Legato e incatenato
Alla rabbia del dolore
Lo spiritual dei neri
Percorre tutto il mare
E i pesci che ascoltano
Quel canto africano
Si incazzano e saltando
Cominciano a cantare
Squalo uno
Squalo due e tre
Mangiate tutti i bianchi
Cattivi come i re
Mangiate pure
Razzisti e sfruttatori
Sarà una buona dieta
Per la
Terra
Guarda un nero là
Un altro laggiù
Sono a casa tua
E non li sopporti più
Ora pensi che
Ognuno a casa sua
Corri corri a chiamare
I guardiani
Scudo crociato
Di certo ti darà
Tutto il coraggio
Di affrontare la viltà
Per molestare
La gente che lavora
Solo perché ha
La pelle nera

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
