VICTORY SONG

     This is the day our forefathers longed to behold
      The voice of rejoicing is being heard in our land
     In time to come we shall be one,

this nightmare will be gone
      We shall overcome

      Good will conquer evil.  It shall be done
      Our ancestors will rise - the victory will be won
      Pass this song along
      Pass it on

DO THE RIGHT THING

     Shutting your eyes to wasting visions 
     Stifling your conscience into submission
     closing out reality staring at you
     starving children, raining bombs
     brown/black/yellow people facing genocide won't do

     Give us a hand man.  Take a stand.
     Open your mouth and give a shout out against oppression
     Raise your voice for freedom
     Campaign for peace. Do something!
     Silence is not an option

 Nana Farika could engage in early childhood education approach from a creative basis, utilizing Rastafari/Maroon/non western approach and my studies of the Montessori Method of Education.I'd  like financial  contributions from interested persons to make this possible.  I could do the same for the Rastafari woman, answering questions etc

"And King Solomon gave unto the Queen of Sheba, all her desires." 1Kings 10:10

King Solomon was called the wisest man in the world and he gave to the woman he loved all that she desired. Who gives the Rastafari all that she desires? The thought is not close to the hearts of many brethren. They think the women would demand too much of them and waste their time and money but a woman of right would not desire anything that is not good for her, her Kingman and her youths. 

She would desire only what is to her comfort in order to continue to keep up her good works. This is food for thought. Showing gratitude and apprecilove for the Rastafari woman who does good work does not demean one but instead elevates the congregation and the woman. 

proverbs 31 tells us to praise the virtuous woman who does good.

Mother Di Great Stone Have To Move

Mother, di great stone have to move

Mother, di great stone have to move

Mother, di great stone

Dat stone of Babylon

Mother di great stone, have to move.

Nyahbinghi chant to Rastafari woman, as Mother of the congregation and of creation

Queen Omega's Reply

( a reply to the Mother Chant of the Nyahbinghi)

In this night of Babylon

In this time of utter darkness

Queen Omega, as ruler of the night

Shall Icieve a light as bright as the sun

And move that stone of Babylon

That Great -Great Stone of Babylon

Burn the harlot Babylon she must

Bring her down into the dust

And move that stone of Babylon

YOUNG GODS OF THE EARTH

I children...i children...

young gods of the earth

the sunrise

the new moon

ancient yet newborn

tenderly rising

the dawn of creation 

when as the sun

the son and daughter of JAH Rastafari

I and I brought them forth

To replenish the earth

to give the world a new birth

I children...

I youths...

Irated in ilaness

the sucklings

out of whose mouths must forth strength

TO LEAD THE ANCIENT AND WISE

I children 

BORN FREE

ZION knowing

tenderness rising

pointing I home.
