about

This song was inspired by Captain Cudjoe (c. 1690s – 1764) and the Maroon Wars of Jamaica/Yamaye. Cudjoe was the leader of the Leeward Maroons during a period in the 18th century. He is one of Jamaica's greatest heroes

lyrics

Verse 1:
Can you hear it
Through the trees.
Guerilla war
On the Caribbean sea.

The sound of horns
The beat of drums.
A clash of blades
And the bang of guns.

Tribal war down
the mountain side.
Myal chants
A warrior pride.

They can't contain
A tropical fever.
The leeward king
An african Ceaser

Chorus:
Free from bondage
We fight until
we can not stand.
Broken chains
Becomes weapons
In Ashanti hands

Verse 2:
Can you hear it
Through the trees
Maroon war
On the caribbean seas.

Abeng horns
The Kete drums.
Taino rage and
African blood.

Tribal war down
the mountain side.
Myal chants
A warrior pride.

Kromanti man
Strong like iron.
A great fire
An african lion

Chorus 2:
Free from bondage
We fight until
They can not stand.
Broken chains
Becomes weapons
In the captains hands.
