Je Suis Un Boni

Rickman G-Crew!

I am a Boni, I come from the Maroni
They speak my language and look like me
In the Amazon I grew up
French Guiana Boni
They speak my language and look like me

Boni is my name
Aluku is my name
Bushinenge is my name
Hey! Lowe man is my name

Because when they hit me, I feel pain
It walks in my blood
It dries my feet in the mud
I am a man standing on the path
A frog in my hand
It puts me on my path
When one dies, life reaches all of them
When the gang arrives
Child from Africa
Aluku, Djuka, Pamaka, Saamaka
You won't reach, you'll fight back

I am a Boni, I come from the Maroni
They speak my language and look like me
In the Amazon I grew up
French Guiana Boni
They speak my language and look like me

We were whipped, mistreated, and we revolted
Boni are true warriors for freedom
We put them in difficulty to escape
Black and proud
Black marronnage
African heritage
We fled slavery
We fled slavery and created our villages
In the Lawa
Kotika, Agoode, Loka, Ashishi, Ponpidu

I am a Boni, I come from the Maroni
They speak my language and look like me
In the Amazon I grew up
French Guiana Boni
They speak my language and look like me

It puts me on my path

Aluku, Djuka, Pamaka, Saamaka
You won't reach, you'll fight back

I am a Boni, I come from the Maroni
