We Na Forget (Rome)

(album: Each One Teach One - 2001)

You can see them in the streets everyday
Talking to everyone that they meet
Saying "it wasn't I who brutalized your family
It must have been someone else for it was not me"
But I saw you last night looking for another fight yes
But then you turn to me and you say to me
"Oh now brother, forgive me for what I have done"
Well, I'm a not believing...

Rome you want forgiveness? well we na forget Rome!
Rome you want forgiveness? well we na forget Rome!
You who wrong my mother, will you wrong my daughter?
You who wrong my father, will you wrong my son?

You trot into a Israel land
Crucifying each and every man
You burn Jerusalem down
And leaving my people crying pon the ground
You taking them away as your slave
To build up your empire and downpress an other day
You think lighting a candle makes everything all right?
2000 years forgiven in one night...

A one a dem a 'cause upon a dem, no I, no I, na, na, na, na, na
One a dem 'cause upon a dem, lord I, no I, na, na, na, na, na, na
One a dem a 'cause upon a dem, lord I, said I
A one a dem a 'cause upon a dem, no I don't, no, na, na, na

Rome you want forgiveness? well we na forget Rome!
Rome you want forgiveness? well we na forget Rome!
You who wrong my mother, will you wrong my daughter?
You who wrong my father, will you wrong my son?

Rome I'll never forget Rome I said
Rome I'll never forget...
