  • Black Stalin- urging people to come home
    So the Treasury broke and they say that recession jamming
    And so to foreign countries Trinis start migrating
    They lose faith in their country, they say we gone down the drain
    They say no more could we see happy times again
    But the will to recover in my people I have confidence
    Although many may seem to feel that I talking nonsense
    But the majority of we decide we not going to run
    Because now is the time to show we patriotism.
    For we country facing its darkest hour
    So our people need us today more than ever
    But in our fight to recover, if ever you feel to surrender
    It have one little thing that I want you always remember...
    We could make it if we try just a little harder
    If we just give one more try, life will be much sweeter.
    From the time Trini analyse just what was the problem
    Yes, we start making very positive moves to solve them
    We fire the old set of managers we had working
    And is a new group we went and we bring in
    And if the goods we require, them new managers not supplying
    When election time come back 'round is new ones we bringing
    For if is one thing about my people I could guarantee
    That they would never ever put party before country.
    And now we country facing its darkest hour
    And our people need us today more than ever
    But in our fight to recover, if ever you feel to surrender
    It have one little thing that I want you always remember...
    We could make it if we try just a little harder
    If we just give one more try, life will be much sweeter.
    When the Treasury was full and happy times some was enjoying
    Is in Morvant and Laventille poor people was living
    Now the Treasury flat and the country come back to square one
    Poor people remain on the same old ghetto in John John
    But to get we economy return today on sound footing
    Is the same poor people 'Ten days' and COLA they taking
    And without social unrest, poor people paying the price
    Because they know for their country nothing too much to sacrifice.
    And now we country facing its darkest hour
    So our people need us today more than ever
    But in our fight to recover, if ever you feel to surrender
    It have one little thing that I want you always remember...
    We could make it if we try just a little harder
    If we just give one more try, life will be much sweeter.
    Any time that we hear that Trinbago is facing a crisis
    As loyal citizens it's our duty to stay and assist
    For we know to weself there could never become a day
    When our debts to this country we can repay
    So who want to go could go, I have no objection
    But while outside I want you to have some consideration
    That your country of birth is in its worst day in history
    And we must do what we can regardless where we may be.
    Our country facing its darkest hour
    And our people need us today more than ever
    But in our fight to recover, if ever you feel to surrender
    It have one little thing that I want we always remember...
    We could make it if we try just a little harder
    If we just give one more try life will be much sweeter.
    We could make it if we try just a little harder
    If we just give one more try, more try, more try, life will be much sweeter...

    As an Amuru-Khan, I first heard this song at Carifesta 2019 in Trinidad, cant remember the brother who performed it. But I haven’t stopped playing this song ever since, the words are as powerful today as when this song came out. We will make it!!!

    He sings,
    He can guarantee, that we don't put party before country.. nuh uh, if one party don't win, hands down, the followers not lifting a finger to help. Just sit their blaming.
    Trinidadians needs start giving and stop only wanting
    to get from the country. Build the country man.

    Beautifully done. A song that represents the current times. We can make it if we try………. Yes we can by being vaccinated and social distancing. Trinidad has the most beautiful calypsos, Caisos etc and performers. When I hear the steel drums, the hairs on my skin raise because the sounds of the steel drums are the sweetest sounds my ears can hear. Sweet T&T. Black Stalin rendered this beautifully. I listen to it over and over again.
