I Am De Man |
| I am the man |
| You love to hate |
| Sitting in the slums of |
| Ghost town, 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 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 killing you |
| My eyes seein' a black god |
| Casting doubt 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 |
| Tar-ry pavements of |
| Sadistic heat |
| 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 lov to hate |
| Look, I am now your Next door neighbour |
