I Man Chant Transkay Babylon Dub

[Intro] [Verse 1] Hear this word now, from the heart of the Transkay a sound so cold, Babylon whispers, land rights sold and resold, story untold. The promise of Uhuru, yeah, I see it fading slow, The ANC anthem is a hollow refrain, like a seed they refuse to sow. The communist tail, it pull and it strain, while the poor dog stay in chains, ah-man. Lord, let the thunder roll... [Chorus] Stasis in the veld, the whole nation held in the thrall! By the leaders, I-and-I, who answered the freedom’s call. But the promise of land, it’s a mirage on the high, way up in the sky, As the I-man watch the birthright pass them by, pass them by! JAH RASTAFARI! Send the Iration! [Verse 2] Tribal authority, it’s a chief’s decree, down on the Bantustan ground, Tell me, are the people truly free? Where is the justice to be found? The ULTRA Act was passed, yeah, in two-thousand and twenty-one, But the earth remains unyielding, the work remains undone... Hear the vibration, I-man feel the frustration. [Bridge] The dog hesitates, I see the Communit's commands, a fractured vision on these ancestral sands. Will the cycle be broken? Will the earth-strong people arise? Or will the paralysis continue under these Babylon skies? I-man a wonder, I-man a ponder... [Outro] In the heart of the Transkay, still the stasis holds the sway, Another generation, I say, waiting for that dawning day. FATHER JAH, CREATOR! Hear the Rastafari prayers, the chanting call! We gonna break the silence, stand up and stand tall, never to fall! For the liberation of the land, for the people’s sacred right, We call to Jah, the Creator, bring the Iration to the light! Jah we beseech you!
