Handsworth Revolution |
I say the people of Handsworth, know that |
One hand wash the other so they say |
So let’s join hands my bredren |
Make the way for our children (our children, our children) |
And their children (their children, their children) |
Ensuring that they get life’s fair share of… |
Equality… |
Doesn’t justice stand for all |
Doesn’t justice stand for all |
Doesn’t justice stand for all mankind |
We find society putting us down |
Crowning us, crowning us, crowning us, crowning us |
A place of Evil, OH, OH |
Handsworth means us the Black People |
Handsworth means us the Black People |
We’re taiklng now. |
Speaking Jah Jah language! |
It’s a long, long way we’re coming from |
To send this message across, across |
Its been hidden, forbidden, concealed, unrevealed |
Its got to come out In the open that — |
BABYLON IS FALLING |
BABYLON IS FALLING |
It was foolish to build It on the sand |
Handsworth shall stand, firm — like Jah rock |
— fighting back |
We once beggars are now choosers |
No intention to be losers |
Striving forward with ambition |
And if it takes ammunition |
We rebel in Handsworth revolution |
Handsworth revolution |
Handsworth yeah yeah revolution |
Handsworth revolution |
Revolution |
Dread town, dread town, dread town |
Dread town, dread town, dread town |
Dread we are for a cause |
Deprived of many things |
Experienced phoney laws |
Hatred Babylon brings |
We know what we got to offer |
We know what’s going on |
Don’t want no favours |
Cause there is still hunger |
Innocent convicted |
Poor wage, hard labour |
Only Babylon prospers |
And humble suffer |
They are brothers in south of Africa |
One Black represent all, all over the world |
Can’t bear it no longer |
Blessed wlththe power |
Of Jah Creator |
We will get stronger |
And we will conquer |
And forward ever, and backward never |
