Gyasi Went Home

Where do you come from boy, could you come anywhere?
You come from country where water flows free to the sea

I heard the English said, you got the best of it
When Raleigh washed up and found solid gold in his hands

There was a woman who gave all her pearls,
The ocean rolling, rolled them from the new world

There was a hill coolie, and a transatlantic slave,
There came a day when they broke free of their chains,
Now in country tempers run hot like Caribbean sun,
Said Gyasi when he went home
