Chains No More

Hmm... ancestors dey cry oh

But we never forget

Dem carry our people cross the water

In chains, in pain, no hope, no tomorrow

Separate families, scatter our brothers

But the spirit strong, dem no fit break am proper

From Goree Island to the cotton field

Our people suffer but dem no go yield

Whip marks on the back, tears for breakfast

But deep inside, freedom dey our chest

We remember, we no go forget

The pain wey our people face, the blood wey dem shed

From slavery to freedom, na long journey

But we rise, we dey shine, tell the story

Chains no more, chains no more

We break free, we dey soar

Tubman, Douglass, dem fight the fight

Underground railroad through the darkest night

Now we dey here, standing tall and proud

Our ancestors watching from beyond the cloud

Education be our weapon now

We build empire, make am loud

From the pain dem sow, we reap the strength

Na we be the dream dem couldn't break

We remember, we no go forget

The pain wey our people face, the blood wey dem shed

From slavery to freedom, na long journey

But we rise, we dey shine, tell the story

Chains no more, chains no more

We break free, we dey soar

Glory to the ancestors

We carry the torch

Never again, never again
