Not a Blade of Grass

We are a peaceful people
 Struggle as we struggle
 And we don't look for trouble
 Just ask around (around)
 But when outside faces (faces)
 From foreign places
 Talk about taking over
 We ain't backing down
 We ain't giving up no mountains
 We ain't giving up no tree (no tree)
 We ain't giving up no river (river)
 That belongs to we (to we)
 Not one blue saki (saki)
 Not one rice grain (grain)
 Not one kuras (kuras)
 Not a blade of grass (blade of grass)
 This land is all I know (all I know)
 We're gonna make it somehow
 We will bend like a bow and never break
 Our fathers came here
 And they lived and died here
 And we ain't moving nowhere
 Make no mistake
 'Cause we ain't giving up no mountains (we ain't giving up)
 We ain't giving up no tree (we ain't giving up)
 We ain't giving up no river (we ain't giving up)
 That belongs to we
 Not one blue saki (saki, saki, saki)
 Not one rice grain
 Not one kuras
 Not a blade of grass
 We love the open country
 Of the Rupununi
 And the Essequibo
 Daytime or night
 Though we may criticize it
 This is our home, we love it
 And we need to keep it
 We have that right
 So we ain't giving up no mountains (we ain't giving up)
 We ain't giving up no tree (we ain't giving up)
 We ain't giving up no river (we ain't giving up)
 That belongs to we
 Not one blue saki (saki)
 Not one rice grain
 Not one kuras
 Not a blade of grass
 So we ain't giving up no mountains
 We ain't giving up no tree
 We ain't giving up no river
 That belongs to we
 Not one blue saki
 Not one rice grain
 Not one kuras
 Not a blade of grass
