[Lowkey Intro]
its been a long time coming
too long
too long
its been in the making a quarter century
but its here now
its here now
if by the time you hear this album
i'm not here,
you'll know why..
[Mavado Hook]
tell ya
So mi say
Too many suffering, too many tears
To see a yute die and mi know him for years
When mi look round nobody care and di people dem a live inna fear
Di system need to change right now
Too much a yute put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!)
system need to change right now
Too much a yute a put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Yeah yeah)
[VERSE 1]
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 Saber tooth
Thinkin clear they make you disappear like you hate the fruit
We dont need more Boens, we dont need more Re-bores, 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
[Mavado Hook]
Me cant believe i saw dem cheat people
And they fi protect and dem a leave people
& me no si no system fi di street people
Cant believe dem a lead people
Di system need to change right now
Too much a yute put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!)
system need to change right now
Too much a yute a put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Yeah yeah)
[VERSE 2]
On the news, they glorify their own henchmen
Support the troops, but wont mention Joe Glenton
It's funny cus 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 tounge
But together we will overcome, there's never been a chosen one
Still tryna understand, the land I stand on
I'll probably die from cancer or ____
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 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
[Mavado Hook]
Me cant believe i saw dem cheat people
And they fi protect and dem a leave people
& me no si no system fi di street people
Cant believe dem a lead people
Di system need to change right now
Too much a yute put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!)
system need to change right now
Too much a yute put inna grave right now"
Ino seh the bigger is i give right now
After ghetto people A no steep right now (Yeah yeah)
[VERSE 3]
If you're subordinate to corpoate guys supplyin you orders
You're fighting fire with fire, Im 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
Dont just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honor me
My pen and this honesty, defendin equality
Decleared 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
[Mavado Hook]
