Chorus 2x:

Repatriation Time / Haffi find I own fig tree and vine /
there is a place 4 the whole of mankind / Universal Declaration of Human Rights

1st Verse:

All beings are born free with equal rights and dignity
Endowed with reason and a conscious to be brotherly
The spirit of justice is peace for all with liberty
No forms of slavery / freedom of nationality
The truth became a casualty cuz the victors write history
But it really aint no mystery why the masses are in misery
Trapped in captivity / labrats we been literally
Taken out our homes and natural zones but its finna b

Chorus 2x:

Repatriation Time / Haffi find I own fig tree and vine /
there is a place 4 the whole of mankind / Universal Declaration of Human Rights

2nd verse:

Repatriation means returning to the source
Half a millennium journey but we gotta stay the course
Ancestors await redemption so all aboard
The black star line and Zion train in 1 accord
Forever moving forward till we touch distant shores
Africa for Africans / those at home and abroad
Yes my lord and empress Haile blessed
1st Liberation then prepare your spirit and your flesh 4

Chorus 2x:

Repatriation Time / Haffi find I own fig tree and vine /
there is a place 4 the whole of mankind / Universal Declaration of Human Rights

In Jah Jah I trust / Him neva left us / Sellassie bless us / Negusa Negust
Its time to live up / don't eva give up / the struggle is rough but freedoms a must
In Jah Jah I trust / HIM neva left us / Sellassie bless us / Negusa Negust
