Dub Poetry Media(original) |
| How them trick us by this way |
| How them fool us every day |
| Media are the voice of government |
| Propaganda from the government |
| Winston; |
| Keep giving a basket to carry water |
| Can’t you see your head in down there for disaster |
| Them can’t find no work |
| So the youths become jerks |
| That’s when they’ll find out |
| What life is really worth |
| They can’t find no love |
| So they turn to hate |
| They can’t find no jobs |
| The youth them start rob |
| Can’t find no food, ain’t got no paper |
| «Sans Papiers «is that the way… |
| Balik; |
| Existe t-il meilleur outil du pouvoir |
| Qu’un écran ou un poste radio dans un couloir |
| Qui sème au 4 vents la parole de l'état |
| Une présence quotidienne pour envouter son auditoire |
| Asséné vos sondages comme des fous |
| Bienvenue à la table des fous |
| Choc des images, le tout est de pouvoir |
| Détournée l’attention et torde le cou |
| Dans une bien triste forme de transparence |
| Une pluie de chiffre où se couvrent des apparences |
| Manipuler pour faire de nous des marionnettes |
| Nous plonger dans le sommeil et mieux cacher l'évidence |
| Mais les marionnettes sont agiles |
| Elles en ont assez, veulent se décachées de leurs fils … |
| …Let me live by myself and think on my own |
| Salassie’s son livs on! |
| Matthew |
| Chant we are chant down Babylone |
| King Selassie we have fi reach Mont Zion |
| Chant we are chant down Babylone |
| Rastafari is the conquering lion |
| Chant we are chant down Babylone |
| Rastafari is the conquering lion |
| We beg you please all the violence fi cease |
| And Jah will lengthening you days |
| Ites we are Ites and I pray |
| We no lead the youths them are straight |
| Rastari is the king of kings |
| Chant we are chant everyday |
| What it is you do you get you pay |
| (translation) |

| Balik; |
| Is there a better tool of power |
| Than a screen or a radio in a hallway |
| Who sows the word of the state to the 4 winds |
| A daily presence to captivate its audience |
| Strike your polls like crazy |
| Welcome to the Fool's Table |
| Clash of images, it's all about power |
| Divert attention and wring your neck |
| In a very sad form of transparency |
| A rain of figures where appearances are covered |
| Manipulate to make us puppets |
| Slumber us and better hide the obvious |
| But puppets are nimble |
| They've had enough, want to get away from their sons... |
| …Let me live by myself and think on my own |
| Salassie's son books on! |
