Rock with me
And you hear the sound
A little bit a riddim make the world go 'round
do you remember the time before
every day was a news of a holy war
when the people wasn't 'fraid to tell you what they want
everybody in the city always had a home
when a bomb wasn't going off everyday
when the rain didn't have to mean a hurricane
when the government wasn't listen to your calls
when a border didn't have to mean a concrete wall y'all
(chorus)
I'm a human being, y'all Rock with me!
I'm a human being, y'all Rock with me!
I was born with a sword in my hand and a microphone, sent to this land with an amplifier I set on fire woah, I'm that rebel I tried to warn ya!!
(chorus)
I see dem planning it bombing it glocking it
dem have dem foot up in it dem talk talk
never walk pussyfooting it religion, division pushing dem first world opinion scar, war, oh lord to dem neck up in it who keep score of di fallen soldiers can i see the hands of my real believers 200 million talking 'bout some lips on dicks the fix the po-li-trics now take ya ... lick
and there came a time we all saw the sign it's been a long time coming but now you're mine I'm a fear destroyer and to those who torture woah oh now devil! I'm comin for ya
(chorus)
