Guyana Short Stories - Massacuraman, Ah so we come!

Massacuraman, Ah so we come!
Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!

We pound de fofoo / Drink fofoo water / Eat dry coconut / Add steel drops / Drink coconut water

Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!

Naked 'pon concrete / Shackled together / Slaves together!

Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!

Bakku with guilders / Spanish e pesetas / British and de pound / Dem creole we language / But non can conquer! Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!

Half-naked in de blazing sun / Leg-irons branding flesh / Pickaxe 'pon bricks / Bones cracking from stress /Psyches mangled together Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!

Jumbie-lash and Black-lash / Gun, cutlass and Stick-lash / Cry Cuffy e Accra / Mek bakku run for cover Massacuraman, Ah so we come! / Ah wha we comfa / Ah wha we stanfa / Ah wha we look like / Ah so we com!
