Soundtrack to the Struggle |
It’s been a long time coming |
Too long, too long |
It’s been in the making a quarter century |
But it’s here now, it’s here now |
If by time you hear this album, I’m not here you know why |
Tell ya |
So mi say |
Too many suffering too many tears |
To see a youth die I’m a know him for years |
When me look around nobody care |
The people dem a live inna fear |
The system need to change right now |
To much you do could a inna grieve right now |
I know si the bigger is a give right now |
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!) |
The system need to change right now |
To much you do could a inna grieve right now |
I know si the bigger is a give right now |
After ghetto people A no steep right now (yeah yeah!) |
My music Is my natural resource, now I want it back |
'Til I sever every single chain I will not relax |
Just constant attack, 'til my world looks like Montserrat |
Contact my comrades, for combat, what’s conscious rap |
When you say the truth, they attack like a Sabre-tooth |
Thinking clear they make you disappear like you hate the fruit |
We don’t need more Boeings, we don’t need more Rebors, weed or Lyor Cohens |
They tell us about terrorism and tell us about terrorists |
Look up the definition and tell us what terror is |
Only know the definition if the television tells us it |
Public Enemy #1 they treat me like Professor Griff |
This album has been in the making a quarter century |
Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody |
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy |
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy |
Mi can’t believe a suh dem treat people |
Dem deh ya fi protect and dem a beat people |
And mi nuh see nuh system fi de street people |
Can’t believe dem a de lead people |
The system need fi change right now |
Too much youth a go down inna grave right now |
On the news, they glorify their own henchmen |
Support the troops, but won’t mention Joe Glenton |
It’s funny 'cos the rappers are posing as the gangsters |
While the government taking money as bonuses for bankers |
In life you learn, to close your eyes and hold your tongue |
But together we will overcome, there’s never been a chosen one |
Still tryina understand, the land I stand on |
I’ll probably die from cancerous anger like Frantz Fanon |
I will never give up, I will never just quit |
I will never give in, I will never submit |
The reason that I came, Is bleeding from the veins |
Of the people 'cause we’re equal, only freedom is the aim |
This album has been in the making a quarter century |
Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody |
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy |
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy |
If you’re subordinate to corporate guys supplying your orders |
You’re fighting fire with fire, I’m fighting fire with water |
When they kill me, I know I’ll die with a focused mind |
Plus there will be millions of me, ready to multiply |
Don’t just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honour me |
My pen and this honesty, defended equality |
Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy |
Your corporate dictatorship, pretends it’s democracy |
I hold your bloodline, accountable for every crime |
Adam Smith to Rothschild, It’s all been a clever lie |
Two choices now, revolution or genocide |
But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither one will be televised |
This album has been in the making a quarter century |
Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody |
I knew the truth since I was a small little boy |
I am a product of the system I was born to destroy |
