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 disya warrior spirit inside
It come fi break every shackle and chain
Chorus
Man a Shaka Zulu, pickney
Enkuma, pickney
Kunta Kinte, pickney
Just like Malcolm and Martin and Marcus I"m fiery
k**a, pickney
Telakute, 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 c**ture
A beat di drums and a chase the vultures away
Chorus
Man a Shaka Zulu, pickney
Paul Bogle, pickney
Lu Lumba pickney
Just like Martin and Malcolm and Marcus I"m fiery
Garvey, pickney
King Selassie I, pickney
Mandela, pickney
Just like Marcus and Martin am 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

Just like Malcolm and Martin and Garvey I"m fiery
