Queen who led the revolt
Against colonial rule with courage, fortitude and foresight.
Descending from the Blue Mountains of Jamaica
To fight the freedom fight
Against colonial might
Winning victory after victory.
Using your spirituality
Military strategy
African technology
To overcome the enemy.
Hail Ashanti Priestess
Sent across the waters
To free our sons and daughter
From the British Overlords.
Salute Grande Nanni of the Maroons
Champong Nanni our inspiration
Freeing over 800 enslaved Africans
Queen Mother of our Nation
Freedom fighter for our liberation
Queen Nanni of the Maroons
Grande Nanni of the Maroons
Nanni, Nanni of the Maroons
Santa Monica , CA 1985
