[su_spoiler title=”AN INTRODUCTION TO DEM A VAMPIRE ” style=”fancy” icon=”plus-square-1″]”Dem, Dem Dem Dema Vampire,
warnfi suck out di blood of di yout Iya”, Is part of the chorus for this upbeat reggae dancehall tune. Imani uses the analogies of a Vampire and a leech, then likening these culprits to Count Dracula as a synonym for capitalists.
Imani skilfully condemns capitalists, their behaviour and attitude towards the rest of humanity, particularly the youth, without making any direct references to them, i.e. subliminally.In this track Imani styles himself as a modern day Vampire Slayer, who’s intention and role it is, to seek out these vampires and destroy them, with the appropriate tools, i.e. Holy Water and the traditional Stake and hammer.[/su_spoiler]

the blood of the youth, sir, ok!!!
They are leeches, all that they are talking
and all that they are preaching.
They are Dracula’s, but I do have my stake,
and I have got my hammer.
So I’m not waiting until the midnight hour,
Because that’s when they get their power.Verse 1So when the sun is shining, I move fast,
And for extra protection I do have my cross.
I first bless the holy water with psalms, then I’m gone,
Straight down to the graveyard.Then I start the searching,
To find out where the demon is lurking.
Anywhere that the demon is hiding, I will find him,
Because you know that I am very determined. Because!!!Chorus & Verse 2So before they wake, I draw for my stake,
Because I have no time to waste.
I’m not going to make no mistakes, nor will I hesitate,
With just one blow to the heart, straight.But don’t think that I am weak,
Because I say I have to sneak,
Because that’s how I have to do it,
Because until my work is complete,
And the evil has been defeated,
That’s how I have to move carefully (neat), Because!!!Chorus & Verse 3Now you see all those ones,
who are causing mankind so much problems.
Who are sucking out the blood of the youths,
and destroying the minds of children. Woe!!!Don’t you see they are demons,
them and their demon friends.
They are heathens,
as well as s/heathens,
so I definitely know that satan has sent them.So I know that!ChorusThem, they are Vampires, who wants to suck out the blood
of the youth, sir, ok!!!
They are leeches, all that they are talking
and all that they are preaching.Them, they are Dracula’s, but I do have my stake,
and I have got my hammer.
So I’m not waiting until the midnight hour,
because that’s when they get their power.The End[/su_spoiler]Adinkra Symbol
