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.
