Garvey Songtext
von Mutabaruka

Garvey garvey rise agen
Teck wi from dis evil den
Garvey garvey rescue wi
From disyah ideology
Marcus garvey risin from earth
Like moses pick from birth
Corn children say it loud

Mek dem know wi still black an′
Proud

I'm black and i′m proud (repeat)


Afrikan leaders just wait
Garvey action wi can duplicate
Black pride im did preach
To de young we must teach
Put garvey in wi reality
Mek wi check im philosophy
Talkin bout afrikan dignity
Inna disyah insanity
Talkin bout our history
Dat begin before slavery
Corn children say it loud
Mek dem know wi still black an'
Proud
I'm black and I′m proud 2x
From egypt to timbucktu
From morrocco to south afrika too
We walk proud over de Ian′
Out of afrika it all began
Garvey taught race first
Afrikan slavery was not a curse
We can accomplish w'at we will
Great afrika was great we are still
Corn children say it loud
Mek dem know wi still black and
Proud

If u don′t know where u are comin
From
U wont know where u are goin
A people without a knowledge of

Their past
Is like a tree without roots
Afrika for afrikans
Those at home an'those abroad
If you have no confidence in
Yourself
U are twice defeated in de race of
Life
But with confidence u have won
Even before u have started

Corn children say it loud
Mek dem know wi still black and
Proud
Skaba dey bada
I′m black and proud (till fade)
