Not a Blade of Grass (World Mix) Lyrics

We are a peaceful people
Struggle as we struggle
And we don't look for trouble
Just ask around

But when outside faces
From foreign places
Talk about taking over
We ain't backing down

We ain't giving up no mountains
We ain't giving up no tree
We ain't giving up no river
That belongs to we
Not one blue saki,
Not one rice grain,
Not one kuras,
Not a blade of grass

This land is all I know
We're going to make it somehow
We will bend like a bow
But never break

Our fathers came here
And they lived and died here
And we ain't moving nowhere
Make no mistake

'cause we ain't giving up no mountains
We ain't giving up no tree
We ain't giving up no river
That belongs to we
Not one blue saki,
Not one rice grain,
Not one kuras,
Not a blade of grass

We love the open country
Of the Rupununi
And the Essequibo
Daytime or night

Though we may criticize it
This is our home we love it
And we need to keep it
We have that right

So we ain't giving up no mountains
We ain't giving up no tree
We ain't giving up no river
That belongs to we
Not one blue saki,
Not one rice grain,
Not one kuras,
Not a blade of grass

So we ain't giving up no mountains
We ain't giving up no tree
We ain't giving up no river
That belongs to we
Not one blue saki,
Not one rice grain,
Not one kuras,
Not a blade of grass
