| Always Remember The Road I Travel
June 27, 2006
Burning Spear
Hey Hey Hey fans, friends and family. My Roots I will
never forget, I man always remember the road I travel.
As you know music is what I have so music is what I man
give. Over these past weeks I have travel many road from
North to South and from East to West and across the ocean.
People of the World I would like to thank you for your
warm embrace. Many wonderful experience sharing the music
with you.
On stage I felt free and loved by all of you. It was
nice to hear you sing Walk with me.
I man way is long and the road is foggy, foggy. Jah is
I man eyes sight, He have lead I man to a few special
place.
Place like New Mexico. It was a long time coming I thank
all of you In New Mexico for your support. It was a great
experience in North and South Carolina.
Seeing young and old fans rocking to the music and the
sounds of Burning Spear. I man was shock by the response
I received in New Orleans.
The House Of Blues was rocking with a high energy.
I must mention how I was touch by the words of this fan
in Santa Fe. She told me how sick she was and how listening
to I man music help to heal her faster than any Doctor
could.
We had a wonderful time running in New Hampshire, seeing
the great mountains. Even though everyone one was in pain
for days.
Big up to the fans of Dallas. The promoter was so worried
because he had only sold 200 tickets in advance. Big surprise
to him when so many fans walk up at the door.
The night of the show he made his goal and was asking
if we were coming back around again. Houston festival
was the second time for me, the lawn was filled with a
rainbow color of people. What a beautiful sight to behold.
I met 3 young Jamaica fans who waited for me, they wanted
to let I man know that I have young fans in Jamaica. Yes,
my Island please don't sell out.
I cannot forget Austin. Austin have been my musical home
for years. The place may be small but the vibes was irie.
So many place to mention I man just would like to say
special thank to all promoters and fans for supporting
the music of Burning Spear.
Over the sea and across the Ocean I man go there a ready.
To all the fans of Europe the African Postman deliver
the musical telegram.
Telegram say Come Now People Lets Try Again. As far as
the eyes can see I saw the people from La Reunion. Over
the hills and across the valley I travel the roads of
La Reunion.
The airport was filled with many greeting fan who bring
I man their love. They were very happy to see the Old
Rastaman.
Yes we will be 700 strong in a Garvey lawn where no Door
Peeper can enter. On August 12, 2006 Only the strong will
enter this a holy lawn where we will stand 700 strong.
The lawn will be rocking, the Spear will be Burning.
All who have eye will see 700 strong, they will see and
hear Our Music. Fans get your copy of Our Music so we
all can sing Walk together and O' Rastaman too.
I want to hear you shout it out loud and clear.
One Love
Peace.
Words Come To Pass
April 14, 2006
Burning Spear
First I would like to say Big Up to Dahved Levy and the
staff of WBLS, and yes to all the fans from New York to
North Carolina. I man never know you all could sing so
much.
I must admit I man is having a great time with everyone.
Thanks for your warm embrace.
I man must answer this person. If Den took the time to
do is research he would see the 700 Strong concert is
a benefit concert for the St Ann's Bay Infirmary . No
Door Peep shall not enter.
Burning Spear isn't making any money from this. I man
don't hustle money. Yes I will inform people to buy my
CD. If an author write a book he wants everyone to read
it, and if they need to read it they must purchase it.
I man is an independent label, a Free Rastaman in the
music business.
I man don't need to hire you as my PR to save face since
there is no face to be save. And by your comment it is
plain to see you are fill with anger against I man. I
am not politician and resent you taking my words out of
context to fit your needs. Many are call, few are chosen.
Throw Down Your Arms and Come.
I am my own PR. That why I sell myself. I don't need
anyone to sell me. I hope Den buy is ticket for 700 Strong
and a copy of Our Music. Yes, we cannot refuse it.
Burning Spear words come to pass.
We now have a first lady down in Jamaica. I man don't
know where the lyric come from. It just come to I man
in I man rest. Just like I man say on Our Music CD, we
need a leader that can lead the people. Nanny was a leader.
Nanny was the first female warrior. All these woman I
am about to mention are from the same line as Nanny.
Nanny was the first female Warrior, then Winnie Mandela/Portia
Simpson. And I cannot forget Mrs. Rodney. These female
warriors are willing to fight and die for what they believe
in. Even though they have great physical beauty they never
use that as a way to get ahead. The blood of Nanny run
through these women warrior vein. They never give up no
matter how hot the battle become. These women know no
surrender or retreat. They have determination. Jah send
them. I hope the people of Jamaica will rally around their
new leader.
I man always say the message is in the music, that why
I cannot refuse it. Music should tell a story. For this
reason I refuse to change I man identity. I man might
not be on MTV or BET or late night television because
I am not a passing fad. Here today, gone tomorrow. Burning
Spear don't fit in their world. They cannot understand
my lyric, because I man lyric comes from the creator to
bring all the People Of The World together. I am the Lion
in Jah Kingdom, I am a Free Rastaman surrounded by a rainbow
of people from all over the world. Grass root people.
Each night I take the stage I can feel the energy coming
form the audience. A letter I received from this fan touch
I man soul. I will share bit of it with you.
I am walking with nature like I have never walk with
nature before...
I am loving this life and all the gift it bestows like
never before. I am humble, I am alive, my fire burns bright...
I thank you Burning Spear.
This is the reason why I do music. Thank you my friend.
Also to the young man at Irving Plaza that was giving
me his hat. I hope to see him at 700 strong, and yes bring
the hat.
I man way is long, and the road might be foggy at time.
I know Jah will be I man eye sight. Yes the African Postman
will always bring Jah telegram. The telegram say lets
keep-on moving and sing the song together. Lets rally
round the Red, Gold and Green. Jah bless those and them
who are always there for Burning Spear.
One Love, Peace, Keep the Spear Burning.
Using The System To Fight Against Ourselves
March 24, 2006
Brethrens and sistren, when did we start doing the things
that we fought against to each other? We must admit that
some of us are getting trapped in Babylon system. What
does it gain a man to have all the money in the world,
and lose his soul? Money only buy things - things that
you cannot take with you when your journey on creation
is end.
I man have being vibeing all this madness that's going
on. Brothers and Sisters are rushing each other over money.
Brethrens beware of money, money is the roots of all evil.
Lets all go back to the days of Old. Look where money
and riches got anyone. I Spear would rather be friends
with the animal than to be a target for Babylon. Yes come
let us yada out of Babylon system. Where is the love gone?
Look at what we are allowing ourselves to become.
Money can not buy happiness or health. If you fight with
Babylon system you will lose with Babylon system. All
what you think you will gain will never make you happy.
Fire is going to burn all of those that turn their back
on Jah the Creator and embrace Babylon system in turns
of the court House. There will be weeping and wailing
and mourning. If you make your bed in hell, that is where
you will sleep.
In life there are no miss opportunity. Jah have his plan.
Jah is I man light and salvation who shall I fear. I
will never loss my identity. Spear will stand strong and
keep on looking Far Over. Our Music I will fight for,
not to become rich, but for my grandchildren so they will
know about our great leaders that fight for our rights.
Look at what Jamaica Tourism Board have done to Jamaica.
Because they only have one slogan they forget how rich
Jamaica are in history and culture. They have chase away
the people that use to support Jamaica in the 70's and
80's. I will open my own tourist board and show them that
People would like to come to Jamaica. The tourist board
would never embrace Burning Spear. I man is too acoustic.
All who have ear will hear, and all with eyes will see
us 700 strong in a Garvey Lawn under the Order of Marcus
Garvey, and acoustic vibes of all who gave they life for
freedom.
People of the World dust off your passport, come forward
to Jamaica. Irie Jamaica, feel the love of the people.
Don't lock yourself away in hotel rooms.
I man have return to Jamaica more often these days, and
I am from the Parish of St Ann's Bay. I have record several
album in my Parish. When I hear what radio stations are
playing in Jamaica I man was ashamed. I would like to
send them a play list from around the world so they can
see what young people are playing.
At a earlier time we were fighting against the system,
now we are using the system to fight against ourselves.
We are defeating Ourself. I, Burning Spear, stand strong.
I am the master of I man faith. I am the captain of my
soul. Don't forget to buy your ticket for 700 Strong.
And pick up a copy of Our Music Jah know we can't refuse
it.
Keep the Spear Burning
One Love. Peace.

March 14, 2006
Burning Spear would like to big up Ben Harper for his
warm embrace. Thank you Mr. Ben Harper for you warm feeling.
The love I felt from you touch I man heart. Respect always.
We would like to thank the staff of the Langerado Music

Rebel on this wonderful festival.
Tell The Youth The Truth
March 7, 2006
My roots I will never forget, I will always remember
the road I travel for More than 35 Years.
I man would like to say respect to Heartbeat Records
for donating $1000.00 to the St. Ann's Bay Infirmary.
On August 12, 2006 I Man will be singing for Justice
and Peace. I will sing for the young man who sits in the
corner by the walls of the infirmary. He cannot walk or
talk and know no mother or father.
I man will sing for my friend who shout out my name Rebe,
short for Creation Rebel. Look where I end up.
So much time have wasted on foolish idea now its time
for I Man to focus on Jah plans. Just as the Dove appear
to I man on that bright morning January 1, 2006 while
I bathe in Jah ocean on reggae beach.
The creator will surround all 700 of His chosen people
on August 12. No, weak Heart cannot enter. We will all
sip from the musical cup of Peace.
I stand strong and free. No more hide and seek, no more
hot bread and butter. I Spear not coming for your supper.
I open I man heart to all of my fans by opening my secret
place to you.
It is good when a man or woman can think for themselves.
Wise man mouth is always close. Only the fools speak too
much.
They can't catch I man. I appreciate the words my mother
say to me: "Son be careful, think before you move." The
creator Bless and keep all mothers.
Mothers tell the youth the truth. Yes big, big, big embarrassment.
Son I am not your father but your mother his your mother.
Daughter I am not your father but your mother is your
mother.
He who know the right and do it not shall be spank with
many stripe. Yes mother, tell the youth the truth.
Music is what I have and music is what I will give. This
is the concert I man have being praying for. The horns
and drums will combine with the wave of the sea to create
music of harmony.
I will beat my congas and send a message to all the People
Of The World. The congas will say "have no fear I Burning
Spear is here." Look I man in the eyes and don't you cry.
Shout it out loud and clear and have no fear as I take
you on a musical ride. Don't talk about Miami or Toronto,
Canada. The Big Apple or Manhattan. Lets rock in time
on Garvey lawn with Mr. Music.
I Spear love like every other man. Yes Spear love sweet,
sweet love. So come roots and rock reggae with I man.
Tell me what love can do to you. People can you tickle
my soul. Are you going to allow I man to grow too old
before you tickle I man soul? What more can I do to say
thank you to all my fans for all these year of support?
To photo lady: thank you for your kind words. Yes my
sister, I man is on a journey, we will all meet at the
bank of the beautiful river right over there. Your prayer
have kept I man strong. It's not easy to be Burning Spear.
They can't hurt I man with their Babylon system. I am
protected by all of you who know I man. Only the Fittest
Of the Fittest can survive.
This wood is dry but still heavy. I am the original Creation
Rebel. So when the Sun goes down I will call on all of
you. Are you ready?
There will be no need for VIP pass, since all 700 strong
will be VIP. No, wolf in sheep clothing will not be there
also. No, reggae hustler will not be welcome.
No, Rascal will not be allowed to enter Jah Holy lawn.
I am here to sing Our Music. Yes, I man cannot refuse
it so you should never never point your finger at the
old Rastaman or never you talk too much. Lets try again
because mistake carry no face.
Are you my friend neighbor or enemy, who are you? We
can show the world that we can live together. In Africa
they use to chain us together. Yes we can be happy again
and feel happy again. With music that set the mind at
peace. Hold them little Garvey hold them, show them that
we can get tough. Walk your walk to the record store for
a copy of Our Music and let the lyric set your mind at
peace so when we meet again you can sing along with I
man.
Some people want to surround I to bring I man down, but
little did they know I will never give up my throne.
Jah Bless, One Love, Keep the Spear Burning. Tell the
youth the truth.
Peace.
Big Up Brazil
February 13, 2006
First I man would like to say Big Up to the people of
Brazil. The welcome I received from the people of Brazil
really warms I man heart. I man have no idea how I arrived
in Brazil, because I had no plans for Brazil. I am very
happy I was in Brazil.

I man will never run away, they and them that hate I
would love to see I man run. Burning Spear is here to
stay.
Yes people have no fear the words on the blog is from
I man. I want to vibe with all my fans.
Sometime because I man remain silent people have taken
the liberty to define I man. They are so many detractors

I man. I man will never give up I man throne for no silver
or gold.
On August 12, 2006 I man am inviting 700 people from

Of The World to witness I Man's first ever performance
on Garvey Lawn under the Order Of Jah Rastafari.
People Of The World, I man spent the holiday home in
Jamaica. Thanks to all of your support I was able to give
back something to the St. Ann's Bay Infirmary. While I
have being traveling to carry out my duty I never took
time for myself and family. It's time for me to slow down,
and return to my roots. Yes People Of The World, my roots
I will never forget, I will alway remember the roads I
travel. The Spirit of Marcus Garvey lead me right to Marcus
Garvey Youth Club. Right on the beach. All I could hear
in my head was it's time for me to get out of Babylon
system. Anyone can be Babylon. So come lets us chant down
babylon and be strong.
I man rise up out of this little island where reggae
music spring from. They can't kill I man no matter what
method they come with because Jah is my driver. Jah will
drive them back from whence they come. He will not leave
one up on another. They could be small as a mustard seeds.
My way is long and the road is foggy foggy. Jah is I
and I eye sight.
I man want to be loved for who I am and not for what
people think I have. I never got into music to become
rich. I man is not driven by money. I am a Creation Rebel,
the Africian Postman. So many times I would leave my family
go on tour and come home without money. I am happy to
be rich in mind and spirit.
Looking forward to see 700 people of the world doing
their country walk at Marcus Garvey Youth Club in August

Behold The Spear Burning Over Yonder
December 12, 2005
First I would like to say thanks to all the people in
the record industry that nominated Our Music. I am very
surprised that I am a nominee for this Grammy since there
is so much hype music going around. I am truly humbled
by this nomination. Give thanks.
I would also like to give a special Big Up to Sinead
O'Connor for embracing roots music. This is a very brave
woman to go on stage to sing Burning Spear and other roots
music. Sinead has done something that no Jamaican artist
has done. She remember Burning Spear music. Respect Sinead
for making Our Music Everyone Music.
I have released the song Music Business on I man website.
I wanted to share this song with all the People Of The
World. In the reggae side of the music there is so much
things going on. Everyone rushing to reach the top. They
don't care who they have to drop.
I will now take a title from one of Sinead album cover.
I do not want what I haven't got. So all you vampire throw
down your arms and come.
This Music is Our Music. I man have paid my dues in this
business. When I say I never bent down low this means
I man never surrender to anyone or stoop to anyone standard.
I never try to pose, I never show off, I just follow my
nose. So all the Mr and Mrs Poem of this business the
skeleton is in your closets waiting to drop out.
Some speak with there mouth behind your back, I man speak
with music. Music is what I have so music is what I give.
As we all enter into another year let us forget about
the past and move on in a positive direction.
I would like to thank all of The People Of The World
for supporting Burning Spear music. Jah Jah send each
and everyone of you. May the creator bring each and everyone
of you much joy as you all have brought I man.
The question everyone is asking I man, Do I think I will
win the Grammy? The answer is no I will not win the Grammy,
because the people of the world don't get to vote. I man
is already a winner by just being nominated for this CD.
The creator put my name first on the list so I already
number one. I man is the only reggae artist to be nominate
so many times and only one win. I man is the small fish
surrounded by many big fish.
So hold them Little Garvey, hold them. Show them we can
get tough. O'Rastaman will never give up.
Happy New Year.
Spear
Music Alone Shall Live
November 30, 2005
Burning Spear will be at Tony Rebel salute on January
14, 2006. It will be a true honor for I man to perform
at Rebel Salute this year. Rebel has proven himself to
be a brethren that stands up for the right, and believe
in self reliance. I-man will join as one with Tony Rebel
and make a donation to St Ann's Bay Infirmary.
First I would like to say thank you Erik for your poem.
Big up to Dennis and the Rasputin staff, and all the fans
of Berkeley for making Our Music Their Music. It was good
to be there upfront and personal with all of you.
The crime you want to charge I-man for it's not possible,
and I am not guilty. I was only doing the work of His
Majesty, following in the foot step of all the great freedom
fighters of the world. Marcus Garvey is an African Jamaican
who has been accused many times wrongfully, and so am
I. Yes my neighbor and friends and enemy, you need to
set the record clean.
I didn't make no move to hurt anyone. If you say I do,
where is your evidence? The first Bagg-a-wire was Jamaica
version. Second Bagg-a-wire American version. Yes they
sell I-man and betray I for less than a pound of rice.
The modern day Bagg-a-wire thought they found the genie
in the jar, only when they open the jar only smoke came
out. Look for I-man in the water, look for I-man in the
wind, because I refuse to live my life in fear or doubt
about the work I was given to do. Our Music I can not
refuse it. His Majesty set the standard for I-man to follow.
How sweet and wonderful it is to serve the creator by
singing Our Music.
Everytime I play my congos I am sending a message striaght
to the Heart of my friends, neighbors or enemies. I can
feel the cry of the world. These are the timea I ask His
Majesty to forgive I-man for making any wrong turn since
mistake carry no face. I Spear have shed many tears while
making this album. Out of my tears came words from my
heart to touch all the people of the world souls. Let's
all get on board the Burning Spear Starliner of Music.
Let's make a circle and sing Our Music.
Fans, get your copy of Our Music because I would like
to hear all the people of the word sing it next time we
meet. All who have ears will hear, and all with eyes will
see. Burning Spear will never lose it. Together I and
I rainbow of fans will show the world that we can look
far over. Because in a time like now it's not about who
feels it knows it. What about the man who never felt it
but knows it?
Music alone shall live.
People of the word I love you and I thank you for all
your support of all the CDs on the Burning Spear label.
We can become 8,000,000 strong.
Lets show the world that Roots music coming from an artists
own label can sell. Introduce a friend to the music of
Burning Spear this holiday.
Keep the Spear Burning
Peace...
Winston Rodney
Creation Rebel, Old Rastaman
November 14, 2005
First I man would like to say Bonjour to the people of
Paris. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. To all
radio DJ and writer of France, respect for making Our
Music Everyone music. To Cyril and Nocturne staff, plenty
respect for helping to spread the message of Burning Spear
over Europe.
I man will now speak about reggae dark secret.
Plenty of us reggae artist couldn't read or write. We
only have the talent to do this work. Yes I say it a work
appointed to I from His Majesty. That is why, like an
old warrior, a soldier, Old Rastaman I had to ask when
will I be discharge from this duty? If I man is wrong
I ask for forgiveness. Just like in the days of old when
His Majesty and His disciples travel the earth preaching
I and I travel the earth preaching. The mountains now
become venue and the hills are now parks and outdoor festival.
Our Music they think I and I lose it. So many artist
today are afraid to sing certain lyric because it's not
what society say is marketable to young people. They want
us to leave it up to them. When we leave it up to them
we will no longer able to perform for all the people of
the world and more of our young people will pay the price.
We can show the world that we can live together. Reggae
music is about a message of love and togetherness. Do
you enjoy terrorizing your brother and sister? If more
and more of us become chain together with music that teaches,
the world would be a better place, free from mental bondage.
Time for us to become self reliant brethen and sistren.
People of the World don't ask for that loan. Because while
they are sleeping you will be working to pay back that
loan.
Harry you are not sellin yet they are profiting from
Harry. Just take a look around you will see so many album
they have on the market for I man. The question I ask
is where are the royalty payments? Yes this is the sound
of all these singers, singing all of these songs. Yet
not benefiting from these songs due to all these musical
slave traders that sell but keep everything for them self.
They say Burning Spear will be finish and his music will
never sell without record companies. I man say come now
people lets try again. Let's never stop trying, because
Music alone shall live.
Brethen and sistren, people of the world has I man get
ready to hang up my mike and give up touring. I will be
letting you know everything about I Man musical career
for all these 35 years. All about the Creation Rebel that
now become the Old Rastaman.
I will take you on a journey about Our Music. Each and
every track. And yes I have a track that I will release
soon on my website only.
If you know that man you shouldn't hurt that man you
should love that man. Thank you people of the world your
love have fix I man right up.
Yes walk, walk do your country walk to the record store,
and make Our Music everyone Music.
Spear.
My Duty
November 7, 2005
Greetings People,
Thank you for buying my new CD Our Music.
Burning Spear say sometimes as an artist it is good if
you can share some things with the people especially the
fans so they can get some understanding about the things
you been through coming up in the business. I man been
in this business since 1969 and I man did have to deal
with various booking agent, record company and promoters
and it was in the 90's when I man start earn something
from what I been doing since 1969. I man rise up with
my self confidence and my capabilities and I man just
keep on moving forward for I man is moving in the right
direction and the people knows that.
Sometimes I ask His Majesty when am I going to be discharged
from this duty? Maybe I was wrong to ask His Majesty such
question. I see myself as Mr. Music, JAH Music, Our Music,
World Music, the Peoples Music. What so ever JAH has given
to I man, I man earn it the hardest way.
So Keep the Spear Burning
One Love
Peace
Burning Spear
Unity Is Strength
October 26, 2005
First I would like to say greeting to all the people
of the world. Big Up to the fans of Connecticut they have
make Our Music the best sound Scans for Burning Spear
music. Plenty respect for all the radio DJ in that area,
they and the fans have proven that Our Music can become
Everyone Music.
Unity is strength.
I would like to say Our Music is not a song against record
company. I man have nothing against any record company.
This was just I way of speaking out against the things
that happen in this business. You have pirate companies
like Clocktower that put out this CD call Traveling. I
man have never given them any rights. I don't even know
them. I man call them modern day Music Slave Traders.
Also the name Harry you are not selling comes from this
producer that would call I man Jackson. And now claim
I sold rights to them for $40.00 Jamaican Dollars in 1975.
A lot of people say they made Burning Spear. I say to
them Jah made Burning Spear, I am a messenger of Jah,
so Jah send all these people to support my live concerts.
So while they are sleeping I am working on Our Music.
A lot of my peer in this music business would go on I
man website and see all these tour dates. They would say
"how spear have so much tour dates?, where the people
them come from to support him? Burning spear don't even
have a hit record." I am a messenger of His Majesty so
I don't need a hit record to spread his Majesty message.
Plenty respect to Bill Bass/Larry Gold and the House
Of Blues crew for all the tour support. Respect to all
Burning Spear disciples...
Our Music touch I man so much based on what was going
on in my life at the time this record was being made I
have to speak about it. I have never put so much of myself
in a CD since the 1970's. I don't sing to gain riches
and buy fancy cars. I was chosen by the creator for this
job. I am O' Rastaman. You see I man over the past years
so don't bother I man with your disturbances. Marcus Garvey/Elijah
Mohammed/Martin Luther King and Mr. Malcolm X they leave
the instructions for I to follow through. So don't mess
with the O' Rastaman.
Mistake carry no face. I man can see my exit I am more
stronger than before. I man His little Garvey, And so
his every brother or sisteren that will fight for there
rights. So hold Them Little Garvey show Them that we can
get tough. Who are them? Them are your friends or neighbor
or enemies. I thought you were my neighbor, or friend
but not my enemy. How may time we all think this about
our friend.
Yes fans a support for Our Music is a support for Burning
Spear, O Rastaman. Let the lyric of Our Music chain I
and I together. Marcus Garvey say - self reliance. So
lets do the Burning Spear walk right to the record store
for a Copy Of Our Music.
Peace,
Burning Spear
Greetings
October 16, 2005
Our Music was created at a time in I, Burning Spear,
life that was fill with many personal conflict. For this
reason songs like Friends, Our Music, And My Duty were
created.
Down In Jamaica was created for all sister and mother.
Woman have so much power that is alway over looked. They
are leaders yet they are alway over looked.
I had to put in Little Garvey, And O' Rastaman. These
were lyric that came to me as I run in the park and come
face to face with I man self and Jah spirit.
In My Duty there is the lyric "I man is only Human, and
can make mistake". This was a talk I had with I man father,
and creator. I had taught of walking away from touring.
So I decided to take some time for I self to be with my
family. But I could not forget my fans. So I decided to
take it to the record store so they could see me up close,
and personal. Your love have kept me strong.
All Burning Spear fans, I have to thank you so much for
all your kind words. Yes people lets try again. Show them
that Harry is selling. Feel I man pure, and deep vibe
on Our Music.
Let Our Music become Everyone Music. Buy your copy, and
buy one for a friend.
