Mama send me go catch water
But the river did dry massa
100 days now no rain don't fall
The desert is now my neighbor
Baba send me go make moto
Inna di town everything soso
All that I own is now on my shoulder
Press gas and drive out
Mwari baba
Have mercy upon my soul
Press gas and drive out
To the ocean
Abeg you guide I along this road
'Til mi reach outta east
Inna di black market
I found my salvation
Inna di black market
Oh I found liberation
Inna di black market
Secure di moto
Then mi go park it
Gone go make a walk
Inna di market ground
My sister was weaving a cloth of culture
While my brother was spinning a tale
Of a village so far away
Black watoto dey turn soldier
From the bush to the ghetto area
Stripped of our ancestral land
Now rifle, bible, & quran
All we have in our hands (oh damn)
While they're mining for gold and diamonds
Corrupting the soil on the farm
Politicians take bribes
Rob the people blind
Now our only choice to survive
Secure the coin
Inna di black market
Bantu from east to west side
Inna di black market
Secure the moto
Then mi go park it
Gone go make a walk
Inna di black market
Black man wealth I ah build
Inna di black market
Every craft we well skilled
Inna di black market
Secure the moto
Then mi go park it
Mi gone go mek a walk
Inna di market ground
Mama send me go fetch water
But the river did dry massa
Found a way to secure my base
Now mama nuh affi fret no time
For the well it will never run dry
Blessings raining down from the sky
Inna di village, things in supply
When mi wah make a trod
Press gas and drive out
Mwari baba
Have mercy upon my soul
Press gas and drive out
To the ocean
Abeg you guide I along this road
'Til mi reach outta east
