"Not King James Version" lyrics

A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden
(Dis yah version)
A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden

Hidden from me I was never told
No way
Ancient prophets black and bold
Like Daniel, King David and Abraham
Israel were all black man
I don't wanna lose ya

Japhet tried his best to erase
The godly parts we played
I says he came and took
And never mention in his books no

A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden
Dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden

In Esau's chapter of history
(History)
So likkle mentioned of you an me
(You an me)
We rulers of kingdoms an dynasty
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, yeah

A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
Dis yah version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden
Dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden

African heritage
I don't wanna lose ya
(No)
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
As our backs against the wall
Ask ourselves about the fall
(Rise)
Rise
(Rise)
Rise
(Rise)
Hold on to your culture

A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden
Dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa came the Garden of Eden

I don't wanna lose ya
(A dis yah version)
I don't wanna lose ya
(Dis yah version)
Never let them fool ya
(A dis yah version)

I don't wanna lose ya
(Dis yah version)
I don't wanna lose ya
(A dis yah version)
Never let them fool ya
(Dis yah version)

I don't wanna lose ya
(A dis yah version)
Ho, ho-ho-ho-ha
(Dis yah version)
A dis yah version
A nuh King James version
'Cause out of Africa
