Not King James Version lyrics

[Chorus]
A dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden
Dis ya version (A dis ya version)
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden

[Verse 1]
Hidden from me I was never told, no way
Ancient prophets black and bold
Like Daniel, King David and Abraham
Israel were all black men
(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 book, so!

[Chorus]
A dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden
Dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden
[Verse 2]
In Esau's chapter of history (History!)
So little mention of you and me (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 civilization, that's for sure
Creators of the alphabet
While the West illiterate, yeh!

[Chorus]
A dis ya version
A no King James version (A dis ya version!)
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden
Dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden

[Bridge]
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!
[Chorus]
A dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden
Dis ya version
A no King James version
‘Cause out of Africa
Came the Garden of Eden

[Outro]
I don't wanna lose ya (A dis ya version)
I don't wanna lose ya (A dis ya version)
Never let them fool you (A dis ya version)
I don't wanna lose ya (A dis ya version)
I don't wanna lose ya (A dis ya version)
Never let them fool you (A dis ya version)
I don't wanna lose ya (A dis ya version)
