Where Is Home

by Clatta Bumboo

/

about

The simple is profound; This is also true of the measures Clatta Bumboo has taken to pose the simple but mighty question, "Where Is Home?" on this roots reggae track, the question is directed to all of man kind with special emphasis on the plight of the "Black Man's" place of belonging, while also pointing to how important it is to learn and know one's self as we look to find and secure place called home.

lyrics

Hmmm Humm Hmmm
Humm yes RASTAFARI
Humm yes

Mi nuh have nothing fi prove
Yet so much to loose
Living from with in
Loving the skin I live in

My mind is bulletproof and so is my soul
Yes RASTAFARI living free with self control
Oh Miss Dotty neva raise nuh fool
Nuh pumpkin head cah mek mi loose mi cool

From day one I use I an i brain as a tool
An ah nuff lick man get Fi ask question round nah school

Oh eh!

I know that I don’t know
So I always seek to know
Yes
We are conditioned to wait in vain
So I break the chains yes
Question

Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s domain?

Oh yes

Home, Home where is home?
Home, Is it where I an I was born?
Home, is it where the original seed beh drop?
Oh yes and Does it really; Does it matter if I an I black?
Yes yes

Oh the healer man neva run around saying he is
He is just the one
And the tree does not apologize for it’s ambitions It just move toward sun, and
Rasta nah nuh intent to take off till answers come
so for nung hear is di mighty question

Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s domain?

Woh eh!

Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Can somebody tell mi?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s domain?


My mind is bulletproof and so is my soul
Yes Rasta live free wid self control
Miss dotty neva raise nuh fool
So nuh pumpkin head cah mek mi loose mi cool

I know that I don’t know
So I seek to know
We’re conditioned to wait in vein
So I break the chains

Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
Where is the Blackman’s place?
