Lyrics of Don't Be a Victim - Dub Inc, Naâman

Don't Be a Victim (original)

I’m a rebel!
I won’t be a victim, I’d rather die!
Don’t be a fool, stand up and fight!
Take power!
I got to break free and I can’t stay blind!
I’m a rebel!
I so we step inna di zone ya!
Rebel!
We nah go follow no propaganda!
Rebel!
Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!
We sing, on ne veut plus de ce deal
Si le peuple s’indigne, tout le système vacille!
So mi say
Partout des gens debout je vois
Personne n’est à genou
Car on se parle encore!
Ring ding ding, reste pas immobile
Refuse la déprime car l’espoir nous anime!
So mi say
Plus haute que des tours d’ivoires
La force est de pouvoir comprendre nos désaccords
Génération après génération
Toujours la même question
Mais comment changer la donne?
Et toute action entraine une réaction
Quand l’insurrection naît dans le cœur des hommes!
Il faut, qu’on puisse se réunir et discuter comme il faut!
De nouvelles directions et les compteurs à zéro!
Dès à présent construire une nouvelle histoire!
I’m a rebel!
I won’t be a victim, I’d rather die!
Don’t be a fool, stand up and fight!
Take power!
I got to break free and I can’t stay blind!
I’m a rebel!
I so we step inna di zone ya!
Rebel!
We nah go follow no propaganda!
Rebel!
Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!
I say, hold on I see clear ah your program
And all the things that you plan
It just don’t fit my soul
Ah me say, stop making money from the guns and wars
Insanity carry the blood from a far
Free up the people from the banks and bars
You can’t fool them again with no more house and cars
None ah we nah go bow when the bell ah ring!
Inna we eyes that light keep twinkling
The fire bun same way from the beginning
All about the same thing
I’ve got a job to do, oh yes!
So we go carry the truth, oh lord!
Ah me say step into, oh lord!
Cause I know this yah love always conquer
And we come from near and far
Rebel nah go end up ah war
Rebel nah go end up ah war
I’m a rebel!
I won’t be a victim, I’d rather die!
Don’t be a fool, stand up and fight!
Take power!
I got to break free and I can’t stay blind!
I’m a rebel!
I so we step inna di zone ya!
Rebel!
We nah go follow no propaganda!
Rebel!
Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!
Regarde ailleurs!
Certains dans le monde veulent le meilleur!
Au-delà de nos doutes et de nos erreurs
C’est à nous de prendre le pouvoir!
Faudra changer nos codes et changer toutes nos habitudes!
Changer de vue, voir plus loin, prendre de l’altitude!
Car nos destins sont liés sous toutes les latitudes!
Les temps sont rudes, il faut croire en nos certitudes!
Changer la disquette, follow me, changeons la disquette!
Formater ce programme qu’ils ont caché dans nos têtes!
Ça les inquiète quand rien nous arrête!
Ils ont des milliards, nous sommes des millions en fait!
I got to stand in this time
Follow your line
We will be fine
I’m a rebel!
I won’t be a victim, I’d rather die!
Don’t be a fool, stand up and fight!
Take power!
I got to break free and I can’t stay blind!
I’m a rebel!
I so we step inna di zone ya!
Rebel!
We nah go follow no propaganda!
Rebel!
Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!

Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!
We sing, we don't want this deal anymore
If the people are indignant, the whole system falters!
So mi say
Everywhere people standing I see
No one is on their knees
'Cause we're still talking!
Ring ding ding, don't stay still
Refuse depression because hope drives us!
So mi say
Higher than ivory towers
Strength is in being able to understand our disagreements
Generation after generation
Always the same question
But how do you change that?
And every action has a reaction
When insurrection is born in the hearts of men!
We need to be able to get together and discuss properly!
New directions and counters to zero!
From now build a new story!
I'm a rebel!
I won't be a victim, I'd rather die!
Don't be a fool, stand up and fight!

Look elsewhere!
Some in the world want the best!
Beyond our doubts and mistakes
It's up to us to take the power!
We will have to change our codes and change all our habits!
Change your view, see further, gain altitude!
Because our destinies are linked at all latitudes!
Times are tough, we have to believe in our certainties!
Change the floppy, follow me, let's change the floppy!
Format that program they have hidden in our heads!
It worries them when nothing stops us!
They have billions, we are millions in fact!
I got to stand in this time
follow your line
We will be fine
I'm a rebel!
I won't be a victim, I'd rather die!
Don't be a fool, stand up and fight!
Take power!
I got to break free and I can't stay blind!
I'm a rebel!
I so we step inna di zone ya!
rebel!
We nah go follow no propaganda!
rebel!
Buss up the cage and make the birds them fly!
