Sons of Slaves Lyrics

[Intro]
Children of Israel
This is a time we must come together
The time is now, the time is now
Live in unity

[Chorus]
Are we not the sons of slaves?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not the sons of slaves? (Yeah)
Are we not the children that run away from plantations?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not the children of Israel?

[Verse 1]
They took us away from Africa land
Brought us down here in Babylon
Now we are like a roaring lion
Jah high, Jah high (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Are we not the sons of slaves?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are (Help me now, now)
Are we not the children that run away from plantations?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not gonna get no freedom? (Help me now, now)
How long will it take you to give us just a little justice?

[Verse 2]
Took us away on a rocking ship
And that would be heavy ginal ship
All we could feel was the rocking whip
Jah high, Jah high (Yes)

[Chorus]
Are we not the sons of slaves?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not the children of Israel?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are

[Verse 3]
They took us away from Africa land
Brought us down here in Babylon
Now we are like a roaring lion
Jah high, Jah high (Yeah)
Mister big man, how long will it take you to give us justice?
Why, why people like you have to treat us like this?

[Outro]
Are we not the sons of slaves?
Why, why people like you have to treat us like this?
Are we not the children of Israel? (Help me now, now)
Why, why people like you have to treat us like this?
How long, how long, how long will it take you, take you?
Why, why people like you have to treat us like this?
Why, oh why, why, oh why people like you have to treat us like this?
Why, why oh why
People like you have to treat us like this?
Why, oh why, why, oh why?
Are we not the sons of slaves? (Yeah)
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not the children of Israel? (Help me now, now)
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
Are we not the sons of slaves? (Yeah)
Are we not the children that run away from plantations?
Yes, we are, I said yes, we are
