Not King James Version - Steel Pulse

CHORUS

A dis ya version

A no King James version

‘Cause out of Africa

Came the Garden of Eden

Hidden from me I was never told

Ancient prophets black and gold

Like Daniel, King David and Abraham

Israel were all black men

I don’t wanna lose you

Japhet tried his best to erase

The godly parts we played

I says he came and took

And never mention in his book… so CHORUS

A dis ya version

A no King James version

‘Cause out of Africa

Came the Garden of Eden

In Esau’s chapter of history

So little mention of you and me We rulers of kingdoms and dynasties

Explored this Earth for centuries

I don’t wanna lose ya Phoenicians, Egyptians and the Moors

Built civilisation, that’s for sure

Creators of the alphabet

While the West illiterate.

yeh

CHORUS

A dis ya version

A no King James version

‘Cause out of Africa

Came the Garden of Eden

African heritage

I don’t wanna lose ya Oh, no Slavery came and took its toll

In the name of John Bull Dog

Said we turned our backs on God

Lost the powers that we had

Now our backs against the wall

Ask ourselves about the fall

Rise rise rise

Hold on to your culture

CHORUS

A dis ya version

A no King James version

‘Cause out of Africa

Came the Garden of Eden

I don’t wanna lose ya I don’t wanna lose ya Never let them fool you
