Shaka

Shaka kaSenzangakhona (circa 1787 – 22 September 1828), also known as Shaka Zulu (Zulu pronunciation: [ˈʃaːɠa]), was one of the most influential monarchs of the Zulu Kingdom.

He was born near present-day Melmoth, KwaZulu-Natal Province. According to tradition, Shaka was conceived during an act of what began as ukuhlobonga, a form of sexual foreplay without penetration allowed to unmarried couples, also known as "the fun of the roads" (ama hlay endlela), during which the lovers were "carried away".

Due to persecution as a result of his illegitimacy, Shaka spent his childhood in his mother's settlements. He is recorded as having been initiated there and inducted into an ibutho lempi (fighting unit). In his early days, Shaka served as a warrior under the sway of Dingiswayo, chieftain of the Mthethwa, to whom the Zulu were then paying tribute.

Dingiswayo called up the emDlatsheni iNtanga (age-group), of which Shaka was part, and incorporated it into the Izichwe regiment. Shaka served as a Mthethwa warrior for perhaps as long as ten years, and distinguished himself with his courage and his adept skill as a close combat warrior. This skill gained the attention of Dingiswayo, who became even more interested in Shaka when he discovered Shaka's royal bloodline. He honoured Shaka by making him commander of a regiment or ibutho.

Chains

Man a mek move
Got to mek a plan
People find food to feed their families
Youths dey a streets
Man a plant food fe him livelihood
Brothers in the camp
Yet the people dance
Youth a preach lyrics
Man a lick shot
Dancehall youth just lick a shot
Some a build speaker box
Fe dem business that in a society
If not the shackle is the boot
If not the chain it's your brain
Lord what a strain, strain, strain
Say Babylon have the people rocking
Tell you know
(chorus)
Chain, chain, chain, we got to break those chains
Chains off my feet
Strange 20th century
(repeat)
Come again my love
It's been your love too
I believe it's this feeling child
The youth a get wise
The youth a get stronger
In a time like this no Uncle Tom business na goan so
Not so, oh come we come to shake the house down
Lord lick off some rooftop ka we need your attention
Rock some sound
Can't shut this down
Rock some sound
All the people rally around
Stop fight natty dread locks down, down, down
Babylon got the people rocking to and through
Turn them out inside
