"Rise Up For Haiti" song/spoken word by Lepadah new book "Saqqara Chronicles The Extended Journey."

Sak pase'
sak pase'
what did they do to us in slavery
took our sugar canes away

sak pase'
indemnification for the haitian
the French government must pay
make them wrong right
reckoning day
what did they do
what did they do
what did they do us
what did they do to our country
during the revolt
during slavery

make us pay
for liberty
make us pay
for our own soul
make us pay for the land they stole
buying back our political independence

what did they do
what did they do
what did they do to I
what did they do to us

the elite defeat
with them trickery
with them God's called guns
with them lie
made us sharecroppers
tree choppers
get them out
get them out
get them out
out of here

Aristide prominent plea
for World Court to settle France greed
this not belong to them
this not belong to them
give back what you owe
give back what you owe
to our country
to our country . . .

rise up
rise up to reclaim Haiti . . .
