The police is the enemy
[HOOK]
Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery
All throughout history, look it up
Everything them bald heads touch, they fuck it up
Every government he set up, it be corrupt
(Revolution!)
Ha ha. Dead Prez, People Army, Steve Marley, Ghetto Youth Crew...
[VERSE 1]
What you know is who you are, who are you?
Do you know who you are in the world? What is your world view?
What do you go through? What has your life shown you?
What are you learning in this so-called life?
Do you have principle or do you blow with the wind?
Do you wanna be free but don't know where to begin?
Do you know your enemy from your friend?
Even your kin is deeper, the skin is the system they keeping us in
Will we survive? Do you believe? Are we afraid?
Would you rather have control of your life, or be a slave?
Show me a sign, a pig ain't no homie of mine
They owe me what's mine, I'll show you if you loan me your nine
I'm only concerned for tables to turn,
When the people learn the truth about the system, the cities will burn
And I stand firm, like Shaka Zulu
These crackers can't stop you, who you?
[Stephen Marley]
I'm crazy
Dem crazy
Just those crazy boys
Right on and tough
[VERSE 2]
This is what we been waiting for?
Twenty first century, still poor?
World war they want me to kill for
What happened to the future they always predicted?
With new science fictional things and space visits?
I've seen two sides, us against them
Police troops ride with four to five men
Prison businesses boom and senators grin
People searching for answers, where to begin
Capitalism born from the backs of blacks
White folks relax, live off the kickbacks
Getting worked to the bone built this country
Further exploited by class to make money
Fifty rich capitalists with blood loot
Use mainframe systems to bank and compute
With the next technology, credit through the wires
Internet growth demand more suppliers
Welfare, elderly checks, and wage workers
All of us, elephant strapped, in they circus
Ain't fightin' over man-made chips no more
When the lights go out, it goin' belong to the poor
[Stephen Marley]
I'm crazy
Dem crazy
Just those crazy boys
Right on and tough
[CHORUS 2X]
Everything you got
Is what you took from me
Conditions on my block
Just like me and slavery
[Stephen Marley]
Oh whatever you know I'm feeling, I'm feeling
[HOOK]
Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery
All throughout his history, look it up
Everything them bald heads touch, they fuck it up
Every government he set up, it be corrupt
Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery
All throughout his history, you can look it up
Everything them bald heads touch, they fuck it up
Every government he set up, it be corrupt
[HOOK (2)]
Where the soldiers at?
Where the warriors at?
Where the riders at?
Where the fighters at?
Where the warriors at?
Where the soldiers at?
Where the riders at?
Where the fighters at?
[Stephen Marley]
*indistinguishable for me*
Ha ha ha. That's right. True soldiers don't die. Long live all legends... Nat Turner, Malcolm X, *indistinguishable*, and King Selassie I... keep the fire burning...
Everywhere the white man go, he bring misery
All throughout history, look it up
Everything them bald heads touch, they fuck it up
Every government he set up, it be corrupt
Ha ha. Dead Prez, People Army, Steve Marley, Ghetto Youth Crew...
