The Promise Land - Dennis Brown

Yes

The promise land

Going to the promise land

Yes the promise land

Oh gosh now, through the promise land

Imagine Ghana like California with Sunset Boulevard

Johannesburg would be Miami

Somalia like New York

With the most pretty light

The nuffest pretty car

Ever New Year the African Times Square lock-off

Imagine Lagos like Las Vegas

The ballers dem a ball

Angola like Atlanta

A pure plane take off

Bush Gardens inna Mali

Chicago inna Chad

Magic Kingdom inna Egypt

Philadelphia in Sudan

The Congo like Colorado

Fort Knox inna Gabon

People living in Morocco like the state of Oregon

Algeria warmer than Arizona bring your sun lotion

Early morning class of Yoga on the beach in Senegal

Ethiopia the capital of fi di Congression

A deh so I belong

A deh di The King come from

I can see us all in limos

Jaguars and B’mos

Riding on the King’s Highway

To the promise land

Going to the promise land

Oh gosh the promise land

Yeah through the promise land

Promised Land I picture Porsche’s

Basquiat Portraits

Pinky Rings realistic princesses

Heiresses bunch a Kings and Queens

Plus I picture fortunes for kids out in Port-Au-Prince

Powerless they not allowed to fit

But not about to slip

Vision Promised Land with fashion like

Madison Ave Manhattan

Saks 5th Ave and

Rodeo

Relaxing popping labels

Promise land no fables

This where the truth’s told

Use them two holes

Above your nose

To see the proof yo!

Imagine a contraption that could take us back when

The world was run by black men

Back to the future

Anything can happen

If these are the last days

And hundred-foot waves come crashing down

I get some hash and pounds

Pass around the bud then watch the flood

Can’t stop apocalypse

My synopsis is catastrophic

If satellites is causing earthquakes

Will we survive it

Honestly man it’s the sign of the times

And the times at hand

There’s a lot of work to be done, oh gosh

In the promised land

Talking 'bout promise land

Oh gosh get me to the promise land

The promise land oh the promise land

The promise land

There’s plenty of land for you and I

By and by

Lost of food, to share for everyone

Cause that was civilization in the promise land

Answer to the promise land

The promise land

Going to the promise land

There’s a lot of work to be done

In the promise land
