Lyrics: Jarina De Marco
Music: Jarina De Marco
You always lyin’ (For over five hundred years)
You keep on thievin’ (Proceeded to violate every treaty)
That land you stealin’ (From people who were here before us)
We gon’ take it back, we gon’, we gon’ take it back
We gon’ take it back, we gon’, we gon’ take it back
So release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Five hundred years, five hundred years
Five-hundred year (We gon’ take it, we gon’, we gon’, we gon’ take it back)
Five hundred years, five hundred years
Five-hundred year (We gon’ take it, we gon’, we gon’, we gon’ take it back)
You always cheatin’ (For over five hundred years)
Keep on deceivin’ (Proceeded to violate every treaty)
It’s time you retreated (From people who were here before us)
We gon’ take it back, we gon’, we gon’ take it back
We gon’ take it back, we gon’, we gon’ take it back
So release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Release the hounds, they can release the hounds on us, aye
Five hundred years, five hundred years
Five-hundred year (We gon’ take it, we gon’, we gon’, we gon’ —) (Ooh)
Five hundred years, five hundred years (Ooh)
Five-hundred year (We gon’ take it, we gon’, we gon’, we gon’ take it back)
