TRUE STORY
(Jimmy Cliff)
I am coming from Mu and Atlantis
Mother Mu they call her that is the true story
He gave you his story
But what about the true story
Hiding your heritage
To keep you into bondage
They stole your culture
To say you got no future
Destroy your tradition
To keep you into subjection
And that's the true story
That's the true story, that's the true story
Tell you 'bout the true story
They took the natural living
And give you artificial living
They took the social living
And turned it into Socialism
Our communal living they turned it into Communism
They took the capital living
And turned it into Capitalism
And that's the true story, that's the true story
talking 'bout the true story, that's the true story
We want the true story
Yes, the true story
Talking 'bout the true
Well, that is my glory
My ancestors were Kings of old
Half the story's not been told
They were mighty men and women
My children will be like them, we're the seed of Abraham
Descended from Adam we're the true born Israelites
The true born Ishmaelites
That's the true story, that is the true story
Talking 'bout the true story
That's the true story
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, lie (x2)
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't, don't you lie, don't you lie
Lie, lie, don't you lie, don't you lie, lie, lie, don't you lie, lie, lie
I descended from Mu, the Kingdom of Mu
And Atlantis was built by my ancestors
And I am their seed, I came through eons of time up to this time
Don't want your ism skism or your distorted system
Don't want your philucifa
You call it your philosophy
Don't want your lies buried
You call it your Library, we want the true story
Talking 'bout the true story
We want the true story
We want the true story
I trad the Order of Melchesedeck
The High Priest, the king of Salaam
Without beginning of days no end of time
Through eons and eons of time I trad on and on
Don't lie, don't lie, don't lie, don't lie (x2)
