Confrontation

Mr. President, Distinguished delegates

Since the beginning of modern civilization

Generations have witnessed and inherited the only conflicts of world wars

But behold the marriage supper of the lamb and the bridegroom onto his bride

Then shall the earth's children know the true expression of ONE LOVE

Then mother earth shall honeymoon in peace.

Forever eliminating the aspirations, lust and anguish of wars and rumors of wars..SELAH!

See it deh know the innocent going up in vapors

And propoganda spreading inna the sunday papers not even superman coulda save you with him cape cause

Red-a Judgement a blaze, blaze ya

And Babylon a gamble the youth dem life like racehorse

And gi dem a uniform and a shave dem head with razors

And now the clock a strike war, don't be amazed cause

inna dem churches tryin to save...saviours

Can we do it? We can do it, we shall do it!

Boom!

Tell dem fe uh draw mi out when the world government inna falling out

Only few men survive crawling out

Run left him collegues dem sprawling out

NEARLY DEAD!

Medic haffi haul him out

And give him two tranquilizer fi stall him out

DEH PON BASE!

Can't get no calling out when him hear from the shout last week

Him mistress find a new shoes

Wife can't get no news and lately she starting to doubt

SHE STILL SEARCHING!

And the youth dem bawling out

Working hard not to let it all come out

Well it's not safe to go walk about

A slaughterhouse from Bagdad to Waterhouse

She start to arouse sometime she want a spouse

She start go out, start beat a darker stout

GUNS COME OUT!

Working people funds run out

Keep a show last week and no one come out

BOMBS COME OUT!

Mi gas tank just run out

BOMBO CLATT!

The scotch tape just run out

WEED RUN OUT!

Yuh senses must dumb out, Mi have a pound round a back deh a gwan sun out

NAH COME OUT!

Till the chalice bun out,

NAH COME OUT!

Till the malice bun out, A WAR!

Zimbabwe to Berlin Wall

Blazin' like a burnin' ball, loose ball...dat no work...IN WAR

Sleeping...dat no work..IN WAR

Can't wear jheri curl...IN WAR

No diamond and pearl...IN WAR

Can't drink weh a serve...IN BAR

Gas wi fuck up yuh nerves...IN WAR

Shot wi blood up yuh shirt...IN WAR

Can't go lift up no skirt...IN WAR

Now disease and germs...IN WAR

Can't go release your sperms...IN WAR

Stamina must preserve...IN WAR

Fire constantly burn...IN WAR

RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED!

[Marcus Garvey dialogue 2]

If you cannot do it, if you are not prepared to do it...then you will die.

You race of cowards, you race of imbosiles, you race of good for nothings

If you cannot do what other men have done

What other nations have done, what other races have done

Then you yourself shall die.

SEE IT DEH NOW...Hey!

Now wi fore parents sacrifice enough

Dem blood sweat and tears run like syrup

Any day a revolution might erupt, and the skys over Kingston lighting up

For the new generation rising up, of youths now a days weh dem sighting up

And through reasoning dem biding up,

Searching for the sign and the sign is us,

Searching for the truth all you find is us,

Searching for the troops still behind is us,

The almighty we recruit and we come from the root

We build like roach building boot

Weh just can't done, Rastafari we design tuff

If a the fight for freedom sign me up

Cause you Tell-Lie-Vision can't blind me up

Soldiers and police dem wising up, realizing they're no more right than us

Realizing there's no use fighting us

Realizing their opening their eyes to see the same demoralizing life as us

So we nah tek talk nor smiling up

Cause the word temper tantrum boiling up, and who...

Calling the shots and nah bust none

Controlling the mind of the young, bring down...

Bear famine, no rain nah fall from London to Dadeland mall

All the son of the virgin bawl, institute of the church IN WAR

Preaching and researching WAR

Practice and rehearsing WAR

Teaching and dem learning WAR

Instigating and urging WAR

Always keep alert in WAR

Cause man will jump out a swerving car

Now bees and birds IN WAR

And the freaks and nerds IN WAR

And the straight and curves IN WAR

Forward and reverse IN WAR

RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED...IT RED.
