Declaration

Verse 1
In the past they resolve a situation
Using tactics of intimidation
But this is present time
We must draw the line
Avoiding trickery and manipulation
A false sense of evacuation
Montserratians everywhere
Our people are in despair
Stand up now and declare

Verse 2
This island must truly be paradise
You’re willing to take it using propaganda and lies
British citizen clause
Mandated by their laws
A government standing with out feet
Watching our resources deplete
I cry so you can here
The pains that they bare
Stand up now and declare

Verse 3
So they say you are in the unsafe zone
Move towards the north vacate lands and home
This no good for we
But they buying up de property
A mother crippling its baby
Colonization killing we
I fall on my knees
I am begging you please
Mother England tek off de squeeze

Chorus
A ya me born
A ya me rare
That is why me care
Me nah go no way
Me here to stay
Stop pushing me in one corner de country
You could butt me with you horn
Intimidate me with fear
Me still nah go no where
Cause, a ya me born, A ya me rare
Cause a ya me born, that's why me care
