Becoming The Muse

Zimbabwean dancehall icon Winky D dropped a new single Propaganda that is packed with hard hitting social commentary on misinformation and disinformation. Winky D uses his socially charged music as a way of addressing the prevailing socio-economic and political challenges faced by the man on the street who relate to it not simply as art but a movement, a lecture and a clarion call.

Propaganda is performed on a Dub Style Riddim produced by South artist and producer Dynamiq and distributed by Bob Marley’s Tuff Gong International. Several internationally acclaimed reggae artistes also featured on the Dub Style Riddim including Busy Signal, Anthony B and many others.

Propaganda Lyrics Winky D

Jah Know
Jah Know, Jah Know
Jah Know, Jah Know
Dynamiq they want to sink us like titanic
No Sir, we don’t panic.

Propaganda, Propaganda
They selling us illusions just like Santa
Propaganda, Propaganda
We are no longer inna the bus they put asunder, under

Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh
Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh

Me nah watch No news me nah read No news paper
The masses don’t talk them just use gesture
Captured journalist inna beating from the big belt yah
A long time we watch them display some bad behavior

What is the truth what is the news right now we get confused
When they report about Africa they pick and choose
I just see the negative they pick and make them headline news
But we now we wise up we No listen to No Deadline news

African Propaganda, Propaganda
American Propaganda, Propaganda
European Propaganda, Propaganda
Asian Propaganda, Propaganda

Propaganda, Propaganda
They selling us illusions just like Santa
Propaganda, Propaganda
We are no longer inna the bus they put asunder, under

Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh
Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh

See them reporting without proper investigation
Their agenda is character assassination
Why don’t you report the truth to save the nation
It’s just lies on top of lies, we wait for the next one.
Everywhere them report it’s Propaganda this, Propaganda that
It’s been a long time we watch them put the horse before the cart
When there is tension inna the nation they don’t cover that
How do they feel inna the conscience we wonder that (wonder that)

African Propaganda, Propaganda
American Propaganda, Propaganda
European Propaganda, Propaganda
Asian Propaganda, Propaganda

Propaganda, Propaganda
They selling us illusions just like Santa
Propaganda, Propaganda
We are no longer Inna the bus they put asunder, under

Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh
Noo Propaganda aaaahah
Noo Propaganda uuuuhhh
