they thought that they can wipe us out
and they carried us to enslave us
east, west, north and south
giving us bad food to eat
and having no decent place for us to sleep
but by the powers of the most high who guides and keep
his children keep on moving through the valleys deep
[chorus]

for more than 400 years
but i an’ i overcome
and conquered all my fears

for more than 400 years

they’ve been sucking out the blood of the poor
drying out the veins of the poor and needy
[chorus]

a wicked man a’ try hol’ we down
for more than 400 years
but i an’ i overcome
