Ami bidrohi!
I am the Rebel Warrior I have risen alone With my head held high I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my war cry! I'm here to teach you a lesson I'm here to torture your soul I'm the itch in your side that's got out of control 'Gonna prey on your conscience You'll be praying for forgiveness Seen all the evidence No longer need a witness So take my word man Here's my sentence One hundred thousand years of repentance. One hundred thousand years of repentance. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire Man I'll be building you a funeral pyre The fire in my eyes If looks coulda kill I won't be satisfied until I've had my fill. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken! Ami bidrohi! I am the Rebel Warrior I have risen alone With my head held high I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed No longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor No longer rings in battle Hear my war cry!

For the consciousness of the nation
Sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation: The music we make It cuts across borders We never make music to someone else's orders Plenty of issues on the agenda if you want to lend a helping hand We?re always told to shut up and dance But you have to change this - take a chance Turn the tables, We know you're able Don't just consume Make your own tune. The music, we use it We're making a stand I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land A conscious response is what we demand Challenge the system and those in command Express your opinion It's your domain If you fail to do this You are partly to blame My heart is beating No retreat The battle continues We'll suffer no defeat This war you've been waging It's time we were raging In our minds And on the streets Sample this It's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation. Look around you, yeah Open your mind Check it out Tell me what you find Here to document the situation The sounds of the original, the original... Hope and glory A myth of the tories We're here to tell you a different story Here to readdress the situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation. A rapper I May be But packaged I'm not I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot This work in progress not slick but rough Breaking all records Twelve inches ain't enough Sample this It's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation... We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric An Asian background That's what's reflected But this militant vibe ain't what you expected With your liberal minds You patronize our culture Scanning the surface like vultures With your tourist mentality we're still the natives You're multicultural but we're anti-racist We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric. And we cry them coulda never escape Disya judgment... |

The police a chase we
The beast can't catch me When I see his big stick him deal me a lick Tower Hamlets Nine have to go free Not even a fine for the Tower Hamlets Nine Youth Connection Stop this infection Defending defending defending the community Some fascists in Brick Lane looking for a fight Police doing nothing: One rule for Black Another for the White ADF, we're about to strike Time is getting short Elections in May Give the fascist man a gunshot That's the only way There are many different languages Spoken in this land But only one language that the Fascist understand Why don't you Kick the f**kers in the head Kick the f**kers in the head Why don't you? Master D Adlib ”Every institution in this city, right Is prejudiced against us Ther's no accountability There's no servant of the Police Force Or his DI or whatever Who is accountable for his attitudes“* Our parents had to sit tight Weren't allowed to fight back physically Just a mental strain Restraint! Now I think I've found a remedy to this recurring pain Not passive but resistant Your assumptions were wrong: Like coffee without milk (!) We're too black too strong For too many years man you've had your fun Now it's time Now it's time For us to hit and run 'Cos we're second generation But we're not second class Now the wrath of the Asian will hit you like a blast Now the wrath of the Asian will hit you like a blast In this time there's no justice or peace In this time there's no trust in the police Quddus Ali saw no justice or peace Altab Ali saw no justice or peace Stephen Lawrence saw no justice or peace Too many people still waiting for release Master D Adlib |

Brothers and sisters of the soul unite
We are one indivisible and strong They may try to break us but they dare not under estimate us They know our memories are long A mass of sleeping villages That's how they're pitching it At least that's what they try to pretend But check out our history So rich and revolutionary A prophecy that we will rise again Again and again until the land is ours Again and again until we have taken the power Again and again until the land is ours Again and again until we have taken the power Deep in the forest High up in the mountains To the future we will take an oath Like springing tigers we encircle the cities Our home is the undergrowth Because I am just a naxalite warrior Fighting for survival and equality Police man beating up me, my brother and my father My mother crying can't believe this reality Again and again until the land is ours Again and again until we have taken the power Again and again until the land is ours Again and again until we have taken the power Jump into the future dub zone Roots rockers And we have taken the power And the land is ours And we have taken the power And the land is ours And we have taken the power And the land is ours And we have taken the power And the land is ours Because I am just a naxalite warrior Fighting for survival and equality Police man beating up me, my brother and my father My mother crying can't believe this reality Iron like a Lion from Zion This one going all the youth, man and woman Orginal Master D upon the microphone stand Cater for no skeptical man- me no give a damn 'Cos me a naxalite warrior |

G and d here has united
Black and white here to show you how we've been delighted The new generation since the mid nineties Showing you how it's done if you think you are a smartie Telling you the truth since we spotted each other We'd like to big up our elder sister and brother Cos they are the legend and they are like no other Trained by the greater legend - mother and father. Now we think jump up lyrics are alright But we'd like to broadcast a subject we know is not right Look at us - but don't look at us in disgust You know the reality and it's time to adjust Think to yourself, don't be foolish about it Fix up your brain or you'll be the target A black man and a white woman living together Face the facts all fascist perpetrators. And as the world is getting smaller ans smaller We can only be getting closer and closer Building this community of sound Celebrating the unity we've found And we know this is the model to follow For all the dub children of tomorrow As they grow under shifting skies We'll see every nation in their eyes Black and white here has united We're here to show you how we've been delighted Black and white here has united Building this community of sound. |

And we say back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brains because you are the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are Self defence is no offence The scales of justice are weighed down on one side Freemasons on the case you know you're gonna get a rough ride Hold tight even if you know your rights It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight For ten years one hell of a long time To rot in a cell when you've committed no crime Another innocent man forced to carry the can Free Satpal Ram Free Satpal Ram Another innocent man Whose word against who ? Whose word against who ? The degenerate crew Out on the town thought they had something to prove Self defence - only offence - had to protect himself from all the murdering fools Cutting remarks on account of his race A plate to his chest and a glass to his face An Asian fights back can't afford to be meek With your back against the wall you can't turn the other cheek And its back way to all the trouble makers Better fix up your brain because you're the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are Free Satpal Ram Another innocent man Birmingham six Bridgewater four Crown prosecution totting up the score Kings Cross two Guildford four Winston Silcott - man how many more ? Satpal attacked in a restaurant by racists Now the brother's been locked up on a life time basis Convicted of murder but what's never mentioned Self defence was his only intention ADF once again taking to the stand Witness the jailing of an innocent man Kicking up a fuss because it could happen to us Time to join in the fight back Because enough is enough And it's back way to all the trouble makers Better fix up your brains because you're the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are FREE SATPAL RAM. |

Union Jack and Union Jill
Back up and down the same old hill Sell the flag to all the youths But who swallow the bill "Murdoch she wrote" Him have his hands in the till Blairful of Thatcher Stuck on the 45 The suits have changed But the old ties survive New Britannia Cool Who are you trying to fool? Behind your fashion-tashion I see nothing at all Care for the community Cuts the nation into three Rich pickings for the first Bottom third you'll never see While middle England keeps swinging it's loyalty No concern for the future Just with dead royalty So will the Real Great Britain step forward This is the national identity parade Shoe gazer nation forever looking backwards Time to reject the sixties charade Not enough schools Not enough homes Just phony care in his millennium dome More Prime cuts than beef on the bone And there's too many questions you're not answering tone Union Jack and Union Jill ... So will the Real Great Britain step forward ... |

A scream a shout far in the distance
Maybe the first or second floor Curtains colouring the windows Never see behind closed doors A silent siege behind politeness Domestic harmony for show Lost in the mirage of a marriage Outside a world she'll never know And as I see through the real you I'm falling straight into A thousand broken mirrors I can't hide And outside the bright lights Can't hide the pain inside And I've broken a thousand mirrors Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time Loving her children with a passion Protecting them at any cost Taking the only course of action There's no more bridges left to cross Who are the ones that are the guilty? Who are the ones that bear the scar? We must not leave our sisters bleeding We sing this song for Tsoora Shah And as I see through the real you I'm falling Straight into A thousand broken mirrors I can't hide And outside the bright lights Can't hide the pain inside And I've broken a thousand mirrors Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time Now it's time |

It ain't no mystery The fecting and the shooting That's the real history We're only here 'cos you were there Consequences of your global pillage I never had the feeling to either destroy or conquer I sift to the debris you left in your wake When you pushed us in to third place When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told you won't be able to look me in the face ..... We're only here 'cos you were there Here in England a global village Consequences of your global pillage Master D chat it up .... I sift to the debris you left in your wake When you pushed us in to third place When the truth is uncovered and the story's been told you won't be able to look me in the face ..... You treated my mother's land just like one big plantation You did this to the African You did this to the Asian Famine was caused not by god but taxation The fruits of our labour were used to build your nation Sucking us dry - our country's natural juice Yes our underdevelopment was caused by your abuse. Gonna check the missing pages We'll be adding up the numbers We'll be looking for witnesses so they can tell our brothers We'll be using the technology Jammin' with it consciously We are gonna spread power with words. |

Who controls the past controls the present
And who controls the present controls the future The battle for the past is for the future Must be the winners of the memory war Smash reach out and then grab the flower At the end of the day their defeat will be for sure Have you inside your memory the scene of the crime If you don't have a clue then you're running out a time Struggle continues while di sunshine Past and the truth two of them you have to combine Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded Cover ups are covered up in the name of the law Presidents and royalty caught red handed And you won't know about it for fifty years or more Come pay attention to the re-educator The battle for the past is now the battle for the future Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia Soon come judgement day Who controls the past controls the present And who controls the present controls the future The history they teach is the voice of the victor You need to look again you need to have a propaganda! If truth is your price then come join the bounty hunters Because truth make you the enemy of all these liars Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded cover ups are covered up in the name of the law Presidents and royalty caught red handed And you won't know about it for fifty years or more Come pay attention to the re-educator The battle for the past is now the battle for the future Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia Soon come judgement day |

Better fix up your brains because you are the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are Self defence is no offence The scales of justice are weighed down on one side Freemasons on the case you know you're gonna get a rough ride Hold tight even if you know your rights It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight For ten years one hell of a long time To rot in a cell when you've committed no crime Another innocent man forced to carry the can Free Satpal Ram Free Satpal Ram Another innocent man Whose word against who ? Whose word against who ? The degenerate crew Out on the town thought they had something to prove Self defence - only offence - had to protect himself from all the murdering fools Cutting remarks on account of his race A plate to his chest and a glass to his face An Asian fights back can't afford to be meek With your back against the wall you can't turn the other cheek And its back way to all the trouble makers Better fix up your brain because you're the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are Free Satpal Ram Another innocent man Birmingham six Bridgewater four Crown prosecution totting up the score Kings Cross two Guildford four Winston Silcott - man how many more ? Satpal attacked in a restaurant by racists Now the brother's been locked up on a life time basis Convicted of murder but what's never mentioned Self defence was his only intention ADF once again taking to the stand Witness the jailing of an innocent man Kicking up a fuss because it could happen to us Time to join in the fight back Because enough is enough And it's back way to all the trouble makers Better fix up your brains because you're the biggest fakers Come in the place better know who you are FREE SATPAL RAM. |

Keep bangin on the walls
Keep bangin on the walls OF FORTRESS EUROPE! 2022 -A new European order Robot guards patrolling the border Cybernetic dogs are getting closer and closer Armoured cars and immigration officers A burning village in Kosovo You bombed it out now you're telling us go home Machine guns strut on the cliffs of Dover Heads down people look out! we're going over Burnin up! can we survive re-entry Past the mines and the cybernetic sentries Safe european homes built on wars You don't like the effect don't produce the cause The chip is in your head not on my shoulder Total control just around the corner Open up the floodgates Time's nearly up Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe Keep bangin Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe We got a right, know the situation We're the children of globalisation No borders only true connection Light the fuse of the insurrection This generation has no nation Grass roots pressure the only solution We're sitting tight Cos assylum is a right Put an end to this confusion Dis is a 21st century Exodus Dis is a 21st century Exodus Burnin' up can we survive re-entry Past the landmines and cybernetic sentries Plane, train, car , ferry boat or bus The future is bleeding coming back at us The chip is in your head not on my shoulder Total control around the corner Open up the floodgates Time's nearly up Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe Keep bangin Keep bangin on the walls of Fortress Europe This is a 21st century Exodus This is a 21st century Exodus They got a right - listen not to the scaremonger Who doesn't run when they're feel the hunger From where to what to when to here to there People caught up in red tape nightmare Break out of the detention centres Cut the wires and tear up the vouchers People get ready it's time to wake up Tear down the walls of Fortress Europe |

Take the long train to Bombay
Duck as the tunnels came Tune in your crystal set You've won the freedom to forget You've won the freedom to forget Feeling good migrations Tuned in to the mother nation Taking her aim Changing your name Now we're nomads That stay in one place Not a country Not a face Standing out but still like ghosts Long-term guests Ungracious hosts Re-written history A sleepy slavery Those sweet sweet sweet machines Senfling, selling Good migrations Tuned in to the mother nation Taking her aim Rearranging the chains .... The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride Hostile environments along the way A slowly changing landscape But a steady stream of consciousness rising A steady stream of consciousness rising This is the journey from loneliness to pride No longer any need to hide .... Struggle to live And we cry struggle to survive Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla Just to stay alive In the jungle you either do or you die You got to be aware You got to have the jungle eye .... |

Step forward Youth At the moment of truth
Don't be distracted don't be the fool Step forward youth At the moment of truth Go beyond the senses Get a clear view When you're Deafened by the sound of betrayal And there's no one left to trust Falling off the end of the scale You carry on because you must when you're down to the last of your senses The pain is blocking out all thought Somehow you gotta pull yourself together you gotta make good all things you been taught When you're Deafened by the sound of betrayal And there's no one left to trust Falling off the end of the scale You carry on because you must Just when you think it's all over Just when they think you're falling back in line maybe just a small word to a young child Maybe just a moment of peace In your mind Step forward Youth At the moment of truth Don't be distracted don't be the fool Step forward youth At the moment of truth Go beyond the senses Get a clear view Forward youth Backward never Mo' Fire |
