Roy Ayers - Red Black & Green Lyrics

Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Red black and green

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Red is for the eastern sun
Towards a new day just begun
Red is for the blood we've shed
Red is for our millions dead
Red is for our liberation
Fighting for our own black nation
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Black is for our mother land
Black is for the proud black man
Black is for the beautiful face
Of a proud and beautiful race
Black is for the soil we need
So a nation we can feed
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Green is for the seed of freedom planted in our hearts
Green is for that seed to grow free (?)
Green is for the fertile fields
Seeds of fertile minds will yield
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean

Yeah yeah
Red black and green
If you think about it you know what I mean
