Caribbean Man
composed by Leroy Calliste (Black Stalin)
 
You try with a federation,
The whole thing end in confusion
CARICOM and then CARIFTA
But somehow I smelling disaster
Mr West Indian politician, I mean you went to big institution
And how come you can’t unite seven million?
When a West Indian unity 
I know is very easy
If you only rap to your people and tell them like me

Dem is one race
From the same place
That make the same trip
On the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we women and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man  
 
You say that we federation
was imported quite from England
And now you going and form a CARIFTA
With a true West Indian flavour
But since CARIFTA started running
Morning, noon and night all I hearing
Is just money speech dem prime minister giving
But I say no set o’ money could form a unity
First of all your people need
their identity
 
Like one race
from the same place
That take the same trip
on the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we woman and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man
 
CARICOM is wasting time
The whole Caribbean gone blind
If we don’t know from where we coming
Then we can’t plan where we going
That’s why some want to be communists
Brother some want to be socialists
And one set of religions to add to the foolishness
Look a man who don’t know his history
Can’t form no unity
How could a man who don’t know his roots
Form his own ideology
 
That is one race
from the same place
that make the same trip
on the same ship
So we must push one common intention
For a better life in the region
For we women, and we children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man
 
The Federation done dead
And CARIFTA going to bed
But the cult of the Rastafarian
Is spreading through the Caribbean
It have rastas now in Grenada
It have rastas now in St. Lucia
But to run CARIFTA yes, you getting pressure
 If the Rastafari movement spreading
And CARIFTA dying slow
Then is something that Rastas on
That the politicians don’t know
 
That’s there’s one race
 from the same place
that make the same trip
on the same ship
So they pushing one common intention
For a better life in the region
For they women, and they children 
That must be the ambition of the Caribbean man
The Caribbean man, the Caribbean man
