David Hinds



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 the fool you
