Testo di 'Love Weself' di Eddy Grant

I'm amazed at the plans of every group
To help my people through
I hear all the notes and every time
I hear what we can't do

Forget the tears and burn your books
Not a single word is true
Kings and queens of africa
You know what you have to do

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no

We buy everything from everywhere
Colors from red to blue
We have all the raw materials
To make what we want to

Oh my people how they sigh
Even when they feel a way
Can't be pleased or satisfied
With everything we got to say oh no

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no

All plantations are the same
So why not face the truth
I assure all the kids of all victors
You got the future but with the loot

All the tears and all the tides
Could never wash our fears away
With all we know from all the science
The question is to date

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no

See the pilgrims how they play
They love to play with you
They create every games of every kind
But to begin with not for you

400 years of genocide
And even in the streets today
I hear the pilgrims on the side
Why the hell should we have to pay? Oh lord

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good

Have we got no more ambition
How can ev'ry our condition be so good
We just have to love weself
We only got to love weself oh no no no
