not a blade of grass

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
