[Intro]
Yeah
(yeah yeah)
Check it
Guyanese banna
[Chorus]
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
From de cane field straight to de plaza
Still de same youth, still de same swagger
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
If you know, then you know, say it louder
Head high, chest out, we get prouder (hey!)
[Verse 1]
Mama from Berbice
Uncle deh in GT
Cousin dem in foreign
Still reppin de country
Pepper pot breakfast
Curry in de evening
Grandma seh, "Pray up"
That how we still breathing
Minibus pack, blaring out de sound
We hustle from market, dollars in de pound
From trench side days, now we talk account
But I still de same youth when you call me out
[Chorus]
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
From de cane field straight to de plaza
Still de same youth, still de same swagger
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
If you know, then you know, say it louder
Head high, chest out, we get prouder (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Plantain chip, snow cone
Lime out by de seawall
Whole crew link up
Laugh big, we be real tall
Talk bout de struggle
Talk bout de pain too
But we still buss joke
That just how we came through
Flag color in my veins, can’t drain it
Accent heavy on my tongue, can’t change it
Anywhere pon de map, I maintain it
Guyanese banna to the grave, I claim it (woah)
[Chorus]
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
From de cane field straight to de plaza
Still de same youth, still de same swagger
Live as a Guyanese banna
Die as a Guyanese banna
If you know, then you know, say it louder
Head high, chest out, we get prouder (Guyanese banna)
