I Am Just A Man Not a Rich Man Just A Rastaman

Any truth anyone has please bring it out, I have nothing to hide and I also have no idea about this post, I will stay focus. Thank you to bring the truth out. I am not going there again. Please bring the truth out so the world can see it. I am happy to be a old lair now the world can see how angry and bitter your are at me for no reason. Jah know I am ready for all the your true to be know this way you will go away. And leave us alone for good.

Those lyric come from I man new Studio work Jah Is Real. I have no idea why those lyric came to I man. For real I am just a man, I am not a star, and don’t want to be a star. I man is happy just to be simple and Free. Proud to be among the Dreads of society.

If someone have told I man Winston Rodney that I would some day be call Burning Spear and travel all over the world, and sing music with a message I would say no way that would be possible. I man came from living underneath a cellar in Water Lane. And latter move to live by what now his Marcus Garvey lawn. We rise up from this little Island as messenger of His Majesty. I and I music came from what we were going through at that time of our life. Yes sufferation and starvation and discrimination from even our parents. So yes I Winston Rodney aka Burning Spear is just a man, I am not perfect neither do I want to be. I have no control over what the Creator do, His Majesty always find a way to protect I and I.

So I say to all the young people of Kenya I thank you so much for your warm welcome, and the experience we share together, Please don’t let politics ruin your country stop the violence among each other. Love each Tribe. We have no idea what tribe we are from, we just know that we are Jamaican from African descendant.

Politics and ego and greed are ruining the world today, everyone wants to be in control. And if they cannot have control over you them they go after you with a vengeance and find ways to turn you against each other or do their best to create fear among us. They want us to think and feel stupid. We must believe in ourselves as a people and a race that have been through great tribulation and survive.

None ever gave us a chance in life. I have seen plenty people get chances in life yet they never appreciate it and turn around and disrespect it. I would hear my grandmother say that an animal never know the use of their tail until they lost it. I man Spear would like the people to know that we are part of the massive, and the massive is the majority, and the majority is the Dreads of society. We are they that have been through great tribulation upon tribulation in tribulation.

Rastafarian is a way of life. A lot of people used that way of life to get attention and to go places and to meet people but not dealing with the true essence basing up on Rastafarian. I man Burning Spear have not desired to use the name of Rastafari to do what I know is wrong because I man is his Jah messenger.

Marcus, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King was the earlier disciples that endured great tribulation and pave the way for I and I and they too was told that they were hypocrite and fake by many that did not understand them, or could not control them. Look how many time they put Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King in jail for standing up for their rights. In this time today we should be proud to stand up for our rights and to follow in the foot step of these great men.

So yes come Let us recall these great man that were fighting for our rights. The price of freedom don’t come cheap, it come with many criticism, but in the end it all well worth it.
