Verse 1

Listen

The blood, of African Kings run in my vein

Here, ina Jamaica rebellious offspring

We've got a warrior spirit inside

From dat time wi kyaahn change

And dis ya 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 am fiery



Verse 2

Look how many years dem whip wi

Dash weh di whip and waah microchip wi

Ana doti Babylon style no fit mi

Battle it out come mek wi get wi victri (victory)

hhh, fight mi breda and sista

And when wi a dance dem seh wi moving sinister

hh, when all wi do is love wi culture

A beat di 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

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 kyaahn tame

And disya warrior spirit inside

It come fi break every shackle and chain

And dem a try brainwash wi

Poison wi mind dem meditation dirty

Dem neva tell wi seh black is beauty

Mi naah go bleach mi seh mi naah dilute i

Noo, eh yuut search search you history

Break di puzzle come mek wi solve the mystery

Eeh, a Salomonic 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 am fiery
