Sip from my jar
The juice of life
Sip from it
The opium of wonders
Sip Sip and be like me
Be like me in words
Be like me in steps
Be like me in life
Black man Black God
And that i did
You said him plus him is hymns
So I married your hymns
To seal our friendship for fellowship
Sang with you
Danced your dance
And talked your talk
Becos you gave me the light of your proud
White man White God
Suddenly you stole my name
And I, yours
You pilot my identity
Without morality
You ignited my heart
To cross seven rivers
But now I do it
To restore you back
White man Black God
Come back and lead the way
Come back and take your place
Come back and drop that name
For which I sold a tear
