It's Papa's land
So mine when he left
To farm and graze as I wish
That is before

It's Papa's land
That I inherit
My rightful own
That's my hope
That is before

It's Papa's land
On which he grew food
On which his cows graze
On which I played and hunted as a kid
On which My Mama grew vegetables
On which I hope to farm
When I grow to be a man
That was before

Now it's the King's land
Seized as of right
On it he grows all kinda things
He placed exotic animals
Which I only saw in pictures
He fenced off all that land
To stop me hunt and farm on it at will
I only get to see that land
As an unwilling volunteer
To work for his highness

During these times
I cry silently and curse
Yet the Gods silently watch
Me suffer this loss
Perhaps they enjoy my misery
But my heart threatens to burst
Yet the body holds it tight
So I live another day
In my sorry plight
