Verse 1
From Freetown Sierra Leone
Mombasa Kenya
Dakar Senegal
Guinea Conakry
Monrovia Liberia to Hispaniola
Through Grenada to up the hill
Lavanti.
Merchants traded
Off my ancestors.
Tribes took to the hill
Making it their home.
Now this generation
Of merchants covert
Intentions for land
Though not shown.
Chorus
Come leh we sing
this song
Roots rock of Lavanti
One that will keep our land
In peace and harmony
Now as we stand with
Spirit strong
Faith that
Just keeps us moving on
Sweet as can be
My Lavanti is home for me.
Verse 2
As events have
changed
With time so
Did technology
Experiences differ each uniquely
Up the hill still the
Rock of Ages
Views my Port of Spain
So beautifully,
Their plan now,
Is to get at we land
A move to be made surreptitiously
So they plot destabilization
Undermining Lavanti unity!
Chorus

Verse 3
Relative to time
We know that our history matters
Some made sacrifices
For you and me
Exercising consideration
Of conditions
As some unwillingly
As we show true appreciation
Being proud and conscious
Of our history
Innate pride
In our roots and culture
Demand respect through solidarity!
Chorus

Verse 4
I had a
conversation
With Dr. Williams
Seraphim, celestial hierarchy
Said his plans
Was to build pan factories
State of the art
All over Lavanti
Change order of states
And was forced
To move on
So saddened to leave my constituency
Confident, as my plans and vision
Manifests Keith Rowley
Leads my party
Chorus
