Tarrus Riley - Shaka Zulu Pickney (aka Nyabinghi Pickney)
Marcus Garvey family
Ancestors no leave me
Nyabinghi, Bobo Shanti
Ai yai yai yai yai, yai yai yai
Oh, oh, oh, whoa...
A yai yai yai , yai, yai, yai
Hey, hey
Ai yai yai yai yai, yai
Oh, oh, oh, whoa...
A yai yai yai, yai
Hey, hey
[Verse 1]
Listen
The blood, of African Kings run in my vein
Here, inna Jamaica rebellious offspring
We've got a warrior spirit inside
From that time we cyaan change
And this yah warrior spirit inside
It come fi break every shackle and chain
[Chorus]
Man a Shaka Zulu, pickney
Nkrumah, pickney
Kunta Kinte, pickney
Just like Malcolm and Martin and Marcus I'm fiery
Kuma, pickney
Fela Kuti, pickney
Kunta Kinte, pickney
Just like Garvey and Marley I'm fiery
[Verse 2]
Look how many years dem whip we
Dash 'way the whip and waan microchip we
Ana dutty Babylon style no fit me
Battle it out, come mek we get we victory
Huh, fight me bredda and sister
And when we a dance dem say we moving sinister
Huh, when all we do is love we culture
A beat the drums and we a chase the vultures away
[Chorus]
Man a Shaka Zulu, pickney
Paul Bogle, pickney
Lumumba pickney
Just like Martin and Malcolm and Marcus I'm fiery
Garvey, pickney
King Selassie I, pickney
Mandela, pickney
Just like Marcus and Martin I'm fiery
[Verse 3]
Huh
The thoughts of freedom fighters dwell in my brain
Stolen from Africa, the mission is still the same
We've got a warrior spirit inside
It well wild, it cyaan tame
And this yah warrior spirit inside
It come fi break every shackle and chain
And dem a try brainwash we
Poison we mind, dem meditation dirty
Dem never tell we say, black is beauty
Me nah go bleach, me say me nah dilute I, no
Hey, youth search search you history
Break the puzzle come mek we solve the mystery
Hey, a Solomonic dynasty from the line of David
What a priceless legacy
[Chorus]
Man a Shaka Zulu, pickney
Nkrumah, pickney
Kunta Kinte, pickney
Just like Malcolm and Martin and Garvey I'm fiery
Nanny, pickney
Sam Sharpe, pickney
Buju Neke, pickney
Just like Martin and Marley and Garvey I'm fiery
