LYRICSVerse 1
Back in de
ole days people tell me
When yuh playing Pan, yuh's a bully
All pan men was hooligan
Some ah dem was real bad john
In d streets, savannah, J’Ouvert
morning.
But they didn't know what was coming
Now they shock to see pan
progressing
East, West, North and South
Bands in full amount
Listen! Sweet melodies ring out
Chorus
Congrats to
you pan men
Congrats I say
Is people just like you
to lead us today
With great strength and courage
You have all the knowledge
To put de steelpan on top
In a special way
Verse 2
Now Pan
reach de stage it evolving
This little oil drum people playing
De steel pan across de world
Paving ways for boy or girl
And to think it come from lil
Trinbago
As ah youth I'm proud of my culture
I stand firm and say I'm the future
With Pan in one hand, pan men on the
other
I know we can work together
Chorus
