Lyrics

This thing is worrying me day and night
 This talk about nations and black and white
 This thing is worrying me day and night
 This talk about nations and black and white
 And nobody - cyah tell me for true
 Who the hell descended from who
 But brother let me make you to understand
 The two nations in this world is woman and man.
 If an Indian woman goes with an Englishman that is one nation
 If an Irish man goes with a Mongolian, another nation
 If a South African goes with a Nigerian the facts you must face
 No matter who your mother or father may be
 You belong to the human race
 Well if what they taught me was right
 They said that Adam and Eve was white
 And if it's the truth they tell
 It's quite obvious, so was Cain and Abel
 I don't know what happen but it's a fact
 All I know plenty people born black
 And so if what they taught us we must believe
 We all descended from Adam and Eve
 So if an Eskimo should goes with a Korean, that is one nation
 And if a pygmy goes with a big, big Amazon, another nation
 If an Egyptian goes with a Grenadian, wey you trying to trace
 No matter who your Mooma and Poopa may be
 You belong to the human race
 Believe me I am one Calypsonian
 Who doh have business wid pigmentation
 Doh matter the colour of your skin
 Dat doh cut no ice dat doh mean ah ting
 It have some men from Alabama
 Ah does see dem on George St and Miramar
 Wid all kinda wahbeen dey making move
 So whey de hell in Alabama dey trying to prove
 If a Puerto Rican goes with a Chinese, that is one nation
 If a Russian man goes with a Japanese, another nation
 If a Carriacou man goes with a Mexican, dat ent no disgrace
 Don't matter wey your mooma and poopa may be
 You belong to the human race.
 
 For instance in the animal creation
 There is no such thing as pigmentation
 We got black and white in horse goat and hog
 And sometimes you bounce up a brong skin dog
 How the hell you eating pork from the black skin sow
 You don't ask for white meat from a white cow
 Well if animals have equality,
 What the hell is the difference between you and me?
 If a Hawaiian goes with a Trinidadian, that is one nation.
 If a Filipino goes with a Tobagonian, another nation
 If an A-merican goes with an African, I done sum up the case
 Don't matter who your mooma and poopa may be
 You belong to the human race.
