Plantation

A plantation is a large piece of land (or water) usually in a tropical or semitropical area where one crop is specifically planted for widespread commercial sale and usually tended by resident laborers. The crops grown include fast-growing trees (often conifers), cotton, coffee, tea, cocoa, sugar cane, sisal, oil seeds (e.g. oil palms), rubber trees, and various fruits. Protectionist policies and natural comparative advantage have sometimes contributed to determining where plantations were located.

Among the earliest examples of plantations were the latifundia of the Roman Empire, which produced large quantities of wine and olive oil for export. Plantation agriculture grew rapidly with the increase in international trade and the development of a worldwide economy that followed the expansion of European colonial empires. Like every economic activity, it has changed over time. Earlier forms of plantation agriculture were associated with large disparities of wealth and income, foreign ownership and political influence, and exploitative social systems such as indentured labour and slavery.

Plantation

Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them to death
Now they wanna come play the same tricks
On us, no-oh
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no-oh
A mister wicked - backway
You are vampire - backway
Slave driver - backway
You are vampire, ah-whoy
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
I feel like right
I feel like right, wo-oh
Backway
You are vampire - backway
Backway
Backway
Look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them to death
Now they wanna come play the same tricks
On us, no-oh
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no-oh
Slave master - backway
Slave driver - backway
You are vampire - backway
Slave driver, ah-whoy
Ah-whoy, ah-whoy, ah-whoy
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
Wa-ooh-wa-ooh-why
I feel like right
I feel like right - backway
Slave driver
Slave master - backway
When I look into my history
I can recall the days of slavery
How they treat our ancestors
They treat them so bad
They let them work the plantation
Even plough the earth
They work them and work them
They work them so bad
They wanna come play the same tricks
On us
You ain't gonna play the same tricks
On us, no-oh
Backway
You are vampire - backway
You are slave driver - backway
