Blood On the Leaves

We saw blood on the leaves
Yeah! Blood filling the roots
Our ancestors hanging from trees
Their blood flowing out to the slave seas

Chained crews taken
To the cane fields
Haiti toppled from the outside, see reels
Shaken down to it’s knees

What they set out to achieve 
Ain't no lie, ain't no dream
The enslaved Screamed
Our Blood on the leaves
