Copper and Clay

Soil is red

Heavy under boots

Crushing the roots

Chains around the minerals

Digging out the wealth of the mother

Iron bars break

Blood on the gold

History being told

No more masters in the mansion

Freedom coming like a flood

Beberu akwende uKO

Get gone now

Beberu akwende uKO

Out of Congo

Beberu akwende uKO

Away with the goat

Away with the yoke

Freedom is the only way

Hey

Yeah yeah

Free the land

Free the people

Bound by the wires

Cobalt in the palm

Keeping it calm

Lies in the parliament

Trucks moving north while we starve

Fire in the mountain

Lava in the vein

Washing off the stain

Rise up brothers from the basin

Rise up sisters from the east

Beberu akwende uKO

Get gone now

Beberu akwende uKO

Out of Congo

Beberu akwende uKO

Away with the goat

Away with the yoke

Freedom is the only way

No more stealing the copper

No more killing for profit

No more rubber and blood

Broken gates

Open roads

Heavy loads

Drop the burden on the floor

Drop the shadow at the border

Walk into the morning sun

Beberu akwende uKO

Get gone now

Beberu akwende uKO

Out of Congo

Beberu akwende uKO

Away with the goat

Away with the yoke

Freedom is the only way

Liberté

Uhuru

Independence

Now we take it back

Yeah

Beberu go away

Far away

Go
