BDL Radical Speech (Skit) |
| One one coco, full basket |
| Trouble nah sit like rain |
| Time longer than rope |
| Learn fi creep before you walk |
| Every mickle’ll make a muckle |
| Seein' blind, hearin' deaf |
| Duppy no who fi frighten |
| Ethiopia shall stretch forth her hands unto God |
| And princes shall come out of Egypt |
| Selah |
| Africa’s been sleepin' |
| Not dead |
| Only sleepin' |
| Today, Africa is walkin' around |
| Not only on her feet, but her brains |
| You can slave as you have for 300 years |
| The bodies of men |
| You can shackle the hands of men |
| You can shackle the feet of men |
| You can imprison the bodies of men |
| But you cannot shackle or imprison the minds of men |
| Lie down, black man and dig |
| Reach out black men and women |
| And put our nature’s knowledge to use |
| The black race is one of the branches of the human race |
| As a section of humanity |
| He occupies a position in the world |
| At the present time, most unfavorable |
| And most uncomfortable |
| The black people are subjects of ostracism |
| It is said that our humanity has shown us no more love |
| No greater sympathy than we are experiencing |
| Wheresoever you go throughout the world |
| The black man is discarded |
| Is ostracized |
| Is relegated to the lowest of things |
| Social, political and economical |
| This therefore suggests a problem |
| And one that must be solved |
| We, in this section of the world, are not entirely free |
| From this unkind, unsympathetic and uncharitable behavior |
| Of the groups of races around us |
| But since man has been placed on his own responsibilities |
| Whether he be black, white or yellow |
| He must act on his own account |
| We will not unduly whine or complain |
| But reason amongst ourselves |
| And see what can be done to remedy this state of affairs |
| Life is a conflict |
| You have to fight your way through it |
| Whether you will it or not |
| Those of us who are able to fight more stubbornly live |
| Accomplish most |
| And to them go the laurels |
| The palm and the triumph |
| Of our civilization and world |
| We, unfortunately, have not been trained or educated to the truths of life |
| Paradoxically so |
| He has shown us no more love, no greater sympathy |
| Than we are expecting |
| Rastafari stands alone |
| Jah, Rastafari |
| King Selassie I |
