My Village Is Burning Lyrics by Fuse ODG

 

Somehow I lost my mind

You only taught me to survive

Told me to never look behind

Turned around, couldn’t believe what I found

First you came to explore

Evidently liked what you saw

Clearly was mine and you made it yours

At first it was fine but then you took more

Then came missionary

Said my spirituality’s scary

Took my faith and gave me religion

I lost my eye and then lost my vision

Then came mercenary

Took my people out on the ferry

First you took my mind then took my spirit

Then left me buried

 

Now my village is burning

(My village is burning)

And no one’s concerning

Whilst the world just keep on turning

See my village is burning

(My village is burning)

And no one’s concerning

Whilst the world just keep on turning

 

We trusted this man till

He got us dismantled

Came and mishandled

Now we at a standstill

From London to New Orleans

From Ghana to new Benin

You can ask Dahomeys the strength and power that’s in our genes

Before they came and tried us

Pretended to trade and buy us

They came to learn

Then tried to burn

 

Now my village’s on fire

Now my village is burning

(My village is burning)

And no one’s concerning

Whilst the world just keep on turning

See my village is burning

(My village is burning)

And no one’s concerning

Whilst the world just keep on turning

My village is burning

My village is burning
