I Am De Man (Never Get Weary Yet) |
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 |
