Do Tou Remember
Eek-a-Mouse Lyrics

Do you, do you remember those days of slavery?
Do you recall the time when people were enslaved?

It wasn't black man alone, who died through bravery
Not only the black people but also other races died while fighting for freedom

'Though some a dem threw dem self over board
Some people jumped off the slaveship to end their suffering

Because dis ya slaveship overload
The ship was overcrowded and could not accommodate more people

It wasn't black man alone, that really really suffer as slaves
Slavery was not just a black man's problem; everyone suffered

But we suffer the hardest way until today
Even today, the scars of slavery are deep-rooted and continue to affect the black community the most

Some a dem commit suicide
Some enslaved people chose to end their lives instead of continuing to suffer

And through disease we caught some a dem died
Many people died due to diseases they caught while being enslaved

De whole world a cry, dem a cry, dem a cry, dem a cry
The whole world was crying and mourning the atrocities of slavery

through crooked rocks, dangerous ocean
The journey of enslaved people was full of dangers, including treacherous oceans and rocky terrain

In ya dis ya civilisation
Even in this so-called civilized world, such brutal practices existed in the past

Me said-a do you, do you really remember
I'm asking again, do you truly remember those enslaved days?

Chiney man, Indian, white man died through bravery
People of different races, including Chinese, Indian, and White, also died while fighting for freedom

But as black man we suffer as slave
Even though slavery affected everyone, black people suffered the most

The hardest way until today
The struggles of slavery continue to affect the black community more than any other race

But a-so dey say, but a-so, but a-so dey say
That's what people say, that's what they say
