Soundtrack To The Struggle

[Lowkey]

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 the time you hear this album

I'm not here

You know why

[Mavado]

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 monserrat

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 don't need more boens, 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

[Mavado]

Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people

And they fi protect and dem a leave people

I me no si no system fi di street people

Can't believe di money lead people

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!)

On the news, they glorify their own henchmen

Support the troops, but won't mention joe glenton

It's funny cause 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 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]

Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people

And they fi protect and dem a leave people

I me no si no system fi di street people

Can't believe di money lead people

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!)

If you're subordinate to corporate guys supplyin' you 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'll be millions of me, ready to multiply

Don't just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honor me

My pen and this honesty, defendin' 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

[Mavado]

Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people

And they fi protect and dem a leave people

Can't believe di money lead people

The system need to change 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!)
