Juke Ross Not A Blade Of Grass
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
