I'm An Anglo Indo Caribbean

* As soh me ansa dem who seh "A whe u cam fram?"
Let me tell U lickle story
Call it history lesson.
*A me dem come fi tell you bout indentured Indian.

Uno all hear of slavery an it's abolition
Well a who den plant u sugar ?
a de One Indian

Me great great grandma Solanta Bika was her name
Tricked from her homeland
Never to see again
Passage from India, exchanged at Liverpool docks.
Paraded like a catwalk queen
Then locked back up a stocks
Stocks..stock...

A she did breed we coolie stock
Me Granpa mek money pan butchers block
Send me puppa to go to school prove he was no yardie fool
Come to Henglan     tt    tt    tt   1964   tt    tt     tt
Not long before they closed the door.
Flew over on an apprenticeship
Pack up im clothes an him pack up is grip
Yeah you know u going on a one way trip
Put up u foot man u deserve it

Second generation now is revealing
Blackness. all of a sudden is culturally appealing
As my children get lighter an lighter
My future looks whiter an whiter!
Me bawl.. A few drops of colour innah white paint pot
Stir for a decade you will see it not.
The policy of labour migration
Followed by a process of assimilation
Ask yourself the question
Will this really lead to a multi-coloured nation ?
Or simply the birth of a less dark English creation.?
