30 Pieces Songtext
von Perfect

Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah-yeah

I′ve been around for a very long time
I cut sugarcane pon dem plantation
I've wiped all my tears, yet still I′m crying
Nothing ever lasts forever but salvation

They gave I and I thirty pieces of silver
Thirty pieces of gold
But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
And I see dem got a lot of money
Inna dem billfold
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?


See I've got cuts and scars to show
I wanna run but I cannot go
Shackles and chains are all upon me
Brother man, can you tell my mother what's happening?
That I′m gonna be the next victim of an auction sale
Five pounds and a shilling in a bill

And they gave I and I thirty pieces of silver
Thirty pieces of gold
But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
And I see dem have a lot of money
Inna dem billfold
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

While the millers roll
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
I couldn′t push that back door
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh

Took they took away my sister's baby
Said they wanted him to become a house nigga
I tried to run away from the hands of slavery
But the slave master pulled his trigger
And they gave I and I thirty pieces of silver
Thirty pieces of gold
But who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?


And I see dem got a lot of money
Inna dem billfold
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?

Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
When there′s so much segregation
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
When there's so much separation
Who is gonna pay reparation for my soul?
I ask the United Nations
What′s up, Kofi Annan?
