mutabaruka – i am de man lyrics
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
i am the man you love to hate
i used to sit in the slums of
ghost town and trench town
back o’ wall, no clothes
to hide my nakedness
filth and mosquitoes smelling
bitin’ 400 years of black flesh
scarred by whips and sticks
i am the man locks entangled in
your nightmares of
medusas and gorgons
unkept religious beliefs
that pierce the side of
your jesus in the sky
your vinegar has turned to blood
your water to mud
i don’t care what dutty babylon say
cos i’m fighting for jah rastafari
to set all africa free
i and i am blood and fire
i am travelling off to zion i
i am travelling off to zion i
i am travelling off to zion i
i don’t care what dutty babylon say
cos i’m fighting for jah rastafari
to set all africa free
i and i am blood and fire
i am travelling off to zion
crucifix chokin’ on your life
of neo+colonialistic attitudes
yes i am de man
that came in
clouds of ganja smoke
choking you to death
yet not k!lling you
my eyes seein’ a black god
casting doubts in your
mind about your
unexposed spirtual bein’
black shadows
castin’ clear pictures
of an existance
drowned by
false concepts of reality
black was beauty
until i walked
with my barefeet
touchin’ your
tarry pavements of
s+d+stic heat
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
you would have accepted i
if i came via times magazine or vogue
if only you were exposed to life
beyond your middle class gate
i am the man you love to hate
i used to sit in the slums of
ghost town and trench town
back o’ wall, no clothes
to hide my nakedness
filth and mosquitoes smelling
bitin’ 400 years of black flesh
scarred by whips and sticks
yes, i am the man you love to hate
look, i am now your next door neighbour
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in the valley for a very long time
we never get weary yet
jah, rastafari
we never get weary yet
we never get weary yet
for we down in…
