Child Of A Slave - Ras Shiloh

They celebrate now, yeah

They celebrate now

Winning without fight is best

Lovers of war will perish, I know

Leadership don’t mean damnation

Love don’t mean retaliation

If we don’t stop the wars

Who’s gonna be at fault?

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

Eat caviar, drink champagne

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

At the death of the child of a slave

Child of a slave

Ooooh oho oho

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Remember our forefather’s tears?

The lives which were lost

For us to see peaceful years?

When shot stop

Who remains flat?

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

Eat caviar, drink champagne

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

At the death of the child of a slave

Child of a slave

Ooooh oho oho

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Unity, only accepted goals

Conscience must decide the destiny of souls

Wheels rolling down a hill needs no push

Works of the KKK shouldn’t be done by us

Instead of love you hate

So they chant

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

Eat caviar, drink champagne

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

At the death of the child of a slave

Child of a slave

Ooooh oho oho

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Leadership don’t mean damnation

Love don’t mean retaliation

If we don’t stop these wars

Who’s gonna be at fault?

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

Eat caviar, drink champagne

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

At the death of the child of a slave

Child of a slave

Ooooh oho oho

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Remember our forefather’s tears?

The lives which were lost

For us to see peaceful years?

When shot stop

Who remains flat?

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

Eat caviar, drink champagne

Hip hip hooray they celebrate

At the death of the child of a slave

Child of a slave

Ooooh oho oho

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
