Born Fe Rebel

The Blood of Marcus

Blood of Malcolm

Goes running through my veins

And Nat Turner's vision



I can see it very plain

Saw William Gordon and Paul Bogle

Hanging from a tree

May their spirits and their souls

Come charging into me



[Chorus]

I was born fe rebel

I was born fe rebel

I was born, oh yes I was born to fight

Radical to the bone, trouble won't leave me alone

Radical to the bone, trouble won't leave me alone



Like Hannibal that crossed the Alps

Went on to conquer Rome

Like David slew Goliath

With a sling shot and a stone



Like crazy Horse and Sitting Bull

The great Geronimo

I'll fight with every tooth and nail

And every brick and stone



[Chorus]



Some a seh me too militant

A which part I man come from

Want protect my people

From who doing I and I wrong



[Chorus]



Fight with all my might

Whether day or night

I've got to do what's right

People take advice



Jomo Kenyatta â?? Born Fe Rebel

Kwame Nkrumah â?? Born Fe Rebel

Thomas Sankara â?? Born Fe Rebel

Machel Samora â?? Born Fe Rebel



Nelson Mandela â?? Born Fe Rebel

Patrice Lumumba â?? Born Fe Rebel

Sellassie I soldier â?? Born Fe Rebel

Castro of Cuba â?? Born Fe Rebel



I was born fe fight

Fight with all my might

Got to do what's right

Whether day or night



Alive, Survive, I strive, Survive



Radical to the bone

Trouble won't leave me alone

Radical to the bone

Armed with sticks and stones
