Mutabaruka

Mutabaruka (born Allan Hope, 26 December 1952, Rae Town, Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican Rastafarian dub poet. His name comes from the Rwandan language and translates as "one who is always victorious". He lives in Potosi District, St. James, with his partner and their two children. Mutabaruka continues to perform and write poems on every issue known to man. He is known for his expression and lively performances as much as for the poems themselves. Some of his themes include sexism, politics, discrimination, poverty, race, and especially religion. Mutabaruka's stylistic form is in a way pathos related. He uses stories and experiences to get readers to think about issues in ways that they would not normally think about them. more »

REDMAN REDMAN
YUH AFI FIGHT FI YUH LAN
JUS LIKE DE DAYS OF OLD
YOU'LL HAVE TO BE COLD AND BOLD

dont let the witeman tongue fool u
dont let his paper cool u
with tricks and lies he stole the land
refuse and resist the witeman plan

stand on big mountain its your ancestors earth
land is power without it life has no worth
stand on big mountain you'll have to be strong
good must over come the struggle is long

he came to turtle island with fire water in hand
gave it to the redman
then stole his land
gave us a image of indians so wild
the image we got on the screen as a child
who is to blame who is to blame
i say the image of john wayne

dont let the witeman tongue fool u
dont let his paper cool u
dont let his fire water get u down
stand up and fight for your piece of ground

stand on big mountain its your ancestors earth
land is power without it life has no worth
stand on big mountain you'll have to be strong
good must over come the struggle is long

in afrika and asia he went to civilize nations
yet in the land of liberty and justice he has reservation 
on the big screen he played his silly game
usin the image of john wayne
robbin and rapin he stole the land
refuse ahd resist the witeman plan

dont let the witeman tongue fool u
dont let his papers cool u
dont let the ancestors die in vain
u have nothin to loose much to gain

stand on big mountain its your ancestors earth
land is power without it life has no worth
stand on big mountain you'll have to be strong
good must over come the struggle is long
