Freedom be when dem fi allow osmosis process
How de solvent ocean
Washing we to coast
Stop membranes from closing
Spontaneous, aim fi your concentrated pouch
We floating
You noticed
De motion
We focused
Osmosis
Migration of course dey like osmosis process
We comot from ocean
Bodies bleed revolt
Stop the walls dem growing
Lungs dey breathe the salt,
All the nameless ghosts
We woke with
Emotions
Devotion
Open
Osmosis
Freedom be when dem fi allow osmosis process
Black man dey travel go unravel de resources dem snavel,
Come see how e hard
Racism ropes humanity under attack
We wey we dark, light dreams for the tracks
Wise man say look inside for the facts
Deep down you fi find the happiness you dey lack
empty stomach no dey work like dat
Job with yo factory card monthly
As time reach we go agree on de cash
Mouthful of flowers for forgotten graves
Stamped all aches in a passport page
Float on ballot boxes where pirates plague
Cocoa farmer for chop Swiss chocolate
Ancestors baked, show us proper cake
You chop cash crops, our farmlands break
Human osmosis - open a permeable mind state
What be common be de compact shuts
Constant acts by constructs that encompass us
Stalwart partitions, forced to cast,
Monster tacts, yo contract dat
We born to last, wonna culture black
The ultra blast, obnoxious rust
The haunting past, unconscious marks,
They drown in mass, dey got our back
Dey warm our hearts, We dodge attacks
The raft jam-packed, we lost our cards
We know for fact, obstructed path,
Ei no add up, dem wan subtract,
Yo old gold heart , dem wan ransack
Yo mind and art, the bronze and brass
To let light in, why restrain
Human osmosis - open a permeable mind state
