Preyé & Davina Oriakhi - Bang the Drum Lyrics

They don't know who I am
They don't where I come from
They don't where I've been
Yet dem mouth getting don don
Oh A system of skin
Categorised just to function
No respect for what's within
Turn your mind into dungeon

So make we
Bang the drum of preparation
Sharpen the sword of my truth
Some war paint call it make up
Light up the way for the youth
Independent education
Group economics too
Support our organisations
Teach our children the truth

Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na
Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na

I know who I am
I know where I come from
I know where I've been
I know there's a God above
I know there's hidden history
More to life than what meets the eye
The beginning of victory
Starts with the power of mind

So make we
Bang the drum of preparation
Sharpen the sword of my truth
Some war paint call it make up
Light up the way for the youth
Independent education
Group economics too
Support our organisations
Teach our children the truth

Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na
Oh wha ya say no
Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na

It's war of mind and soul
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul
Put your body un
Put your body un
It's war of mind and soul
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul
Put your body un
Put your body un

It's war of mind and soul
Put your body under control
It's war of mind and soul
Put your body un
Put your body un

Oh na na
Oh na na
Oh na na na
Ah yeah yeah
