Spread power with words
The gold that you stole The pillage and the plunder Is it any wonder that we're here? 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. |

For the consciousness of the nation
The 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 You'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 a situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation Hope and glory A myth of the tories We're here to tell you a different story Here to readress 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 original, the original .... We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric An Asian background that's what's reflected But this millitant vibe ain't what you expected With your liberal minds You patronise our culture Scanning the surface like vultures With your tourist mentality we're still the natives You 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 judgement ...... |

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 .... |

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. |

Mohammed Singh Azad, No apologies
Not a shot in the dark, This is a warning The sleeping awakes each and every morning The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble And my act of revenge is just a part of he struggle A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead But it would lift the spirits of my people We'll keep on fighting we've been a nation abused You stiff upper lip will bleed and your pride will be bruised No apologies, not a shot in the dark This is a Warning The sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble And my act of revenge is just a part of he struggle Synchronized time, vengeance will be mine As they cross the curzon line into his mind Into his home, I will burn the trophies he owns Symbols of a future postponed Mohammed Singh Azad, Sinbad A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead But it would lift the spirits of my people A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead But it would lift the spirits of my people I'll shake hands with the hang man, I'll wear the noose with pride For like the British I've no crimes to justify Pentonville will be my last place on earth And then death will return to me to the land of my birth |

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. |

It isn't just a backdrop for our herbal intake And in this time we fill the space with noise Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid We're raising our voices to reflect our reality Using dub as our foundation because we've got dub mentality Listen to the sound of the drum and the bass Different communities meet up in the same place We are mixing the flavours to suit every taste This music have the power for all of the human race Dub is the teacher Jungle is the preacher Dub education through the jungle a go reach ya Cut and a splice and regeneration Militant mix and equalisation These are the methods for a serious operation Pushing back the borders of your musical civilisation So listen without prejudice and without delay To the sound of the Asian Dub Foundation today And in this time we fill the space with noise Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid Listen to the sound of the drum and the bass Different communities meet up in the same place We are mixing the flavours to suit every taste This music has the power for all the human race Dub is the teacher Jungle is the preacher Dub is the preacher Jungle is the teacher Dub is the teacher Jungle is the teacher Dub education through the jungle a go reach ya.

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. |

Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Til he's the enemy again)
Babylon is really burning this time coming home to roost on a Soviet landmine Climbing out the subway burning eyes spinning head Walking through the. station breaking into a cold sweat Is the ticking time bomb in my head or your bag Have you been snorting white lines with President Gas Crawling from the wreckage of my tumblin' tower block Someone else had to finish the job It was the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy He's a friend Til he's the enemy again Starin' out the window at 50 000 feet At the mercy of the skies there's no escape velocity And as your eyes meet my skin see the terror on your face Do You want it to stop put yourself in their place Where what your life is worth depends on where you live Too many generations down the line to forgive If all you knew was total war from every side You'd have to decide Who's the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy Who's the enemy of the enemy He's a friend til he's the enemy again Choose the enemy Know the enemy Love the enemy Feed the enemy Sleep with the enemy Arm the enemy Sell the enemy Bomb the enemy Keep your friends close Keep your enemies closer |

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 |

I've noticed you only contact me when I've got some weed And when I'm in need to help you with something you need to do I must have been a fool cos now I see the real you You couldn't even look me in the eye I knew something was wrong you can't justify -it's all lies Telling me other's business and telling me how they be Come to think about it you could be doing it to me The pieces of the puzzle are now fitting into place I know what kind of person you are you're a disgrace I don't hold a grudge even though what you did I just can't trust you with absolutely anything If I see you it just hi and bye keep going my way Cos I've got things to do, I've got bills to pay I've had enough of your two faced company And that's the way its going to be my friend welcome to reality Remember the times it was cold outside Everyone said blurt but I said na come to mind Hours and hours of blazin', feel fine Did you think your parents would allow it at that time I didn't think so well now you know how It was growing up with ungrateful brothers about Makes me wanna scream, makes me wanna shout Ask what I did for them and their mind blacks out Day by day pushin me away others them a turn Others stayed tried to relate To make me see I was wrong no its too late Back biting, street fighting it the mess that was made Great I spent half my life with you guys Now you want to cut and rush me in front of my mothers eyes I don't know why you did it and you was high Two face people die twice no lie To all them a boy them a liar liar With their mouths on fire they say it's human nature They are playing with lives Slowly burning wire You'd better be aware cos in the end you'll suffer Two Face, two bait when it's written on your face Two fake, too straight when your out on the estate After all the lies you've gone and spread about me You put on your disguise and go on like we're sweet Who needs enenies when you've got brothers like these They be smiling when they're with you But you know it's full of cheese Oh please who else be trying to eat up our cake Your'e two, you're two, you're two face Cos they're the masters of deception They wanna bring you down Your phone keeps ringing taking you for a clown The threats keep coming make you wanna leave town Not before you find out who's behind this showdown Your best friends been makin others real mad You're tellin this dude eveything and now it's real sad He's rollin with your enemies and now they seem glad They know all they need and got their pen to the pad So why do they do what they do against you Fake arsed brothers you're life they want to screw It's true when I say all they want is attention To satisfy their needs with no consideration To all those people who've got more than one face You better be on your defense cos now were on the case The mace that you sprayed has been cleared from my eyes What comes around goes around you better realize Chorus 2 They come down your home pretend to be your mate But deep inside their souls it's just you that they hate And whenever you were hungry you placed food on their plate And any time they were in trouble You always helped them escape Indirect or direct they try to put you down Put you down, low down, way down Underground with no sound And all the bullshit that they talk They can't just even hold down With their mouth full of rubbish They try to spread around Two face two bait Two straight cos man your two fake Every time we come around you know we penetrate Every time you come around we must eliminate |

Enemy of the Enemy is a Friend (Til he's the enemy again)
Babylon is really burning this time coming home to roost on a Soviet landmine Climbing out the subway burning eyes spinning head Walking through the. station breaking into a cold sweat Is the ticking time bomb in my head or your bag Have you been snorting white lines with President Gas Crawling from the wreckage of my tumblin' tower block Someone else had to finish the job It was the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy He's a friend Til he's the enemy again Starin' out the window at 50 000 feet At the mercy of the skies there's no escape velocity And as your eyes meet my skin see the terror on your face Do You want it to stop put yourself in their place Where what your life is worth depends on where you live Too many generations down the line to forgive If all you knew was total war from every side You'd have to decide Who's the enemy of the enemy The enemy of the enemy Who's the enemy of the enemy He's a friend til he's the enemy again Choose the enemy Know the enemy Love the enemy Feed the enemy Sleep with the enemy Arm the enemy Sell the enemy Bomb the enemy Keep your friends close Keep your enemies closer |

Somewhere in the ghetto where morality died
It's A rapid response and all the hand s are tied Ask the questions later raise the 45 Press it against his head watch him beg for his life Now you're the judge,the jury and the executioner sealin' his fate Now you're the judge,the jury and the executioner sealing his fate You're feeling the hate You never asked why it's two eyes for one eye Act on on instinct you know the truth from a lie And you spit at the man behind the video lens In his crazy theme park where the means are the ends Hate breeds hate and a beat makes a beat Can this bitter revenge can ever be so sweet? So you're the judge,the jury and the executioner , sealing his fate You're feeling the hate You're so close to the edge can you pull back in time There's a voice in your head and a voice from behind Appealing to reason helping you to make sense Of the mess that's around you Are you a spanner in the works or part of the plan Are you shaking or biting the invisible hand Is revenge the the only way that you can make a stand Its not how you fall -it's how you land IT'S HOW YOU LAND! Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner sealing his fate You're feeling the hate |

For every opportunity
we squeeze de last drop Seeds sown inna de past and now we're reaping de crop Yer, spreading de roots an we're no longer under-ground Those dat turned away are now turning around Homebeats and High-hats mightier than de sword Version excursions an breaks from abroad Too many secret histories dat have never been told Reveal hidden agendas Remove de blindfold Examine de story before you tek de stage Unscramble freaktalk displayed pon de front page Frequency flashing synchronised like strobe Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode Need to get into de collective mode We're taking note of every brand new sound Keeping our minds open Cor we know we're future bound Together we must recognise the signs of our times Together we must learn to read between the lines Make your own programme No bother become digital captive You need some Audio So you must be Active Get into collective mode Spirits become positive You live de life you love An you love the life you give No-one is an island whether you like it or not All inna di same boat which is about to be rocked Warning light flashing synchronised like strobe Can't do it alone you need to get into de collective mode Do you spend too much time living inside your head Worry too much about what the other man said Need to pay heed to dis sonic reflection Turn dis disconnection into interconnection And get into de collective mode Do you spend too much time living inside your head Worry too much about what the other man said Need to pay heed to dis sonic reflection Turn dis disconnection into interconnection |

is the power line is the poverty line
Racism and imperialism work in tandem And poverty is their handmaiden Those who are poor and powerless to break out of their poverty Are also those who by and large are non-white, non-western, third world Poverty and powerlessness are interwined in colour, in race Discrimination and exploitation feed into each other today Under global capitalism We are back to primitive accumulation - plunder on a world scale Only this time the pillage is accompanied by aid sustained by expert advice and underpinned by programmes and policies that perpetuate dependency The IMF, The World Bank, Structural Adjustment Programmes General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade - GATT, are just a few of the organisations, schemes, projects which under the guise of developing the third world, plunder it. Trade agreements and commodity prize-fixing patents and intellectual property rights They lock them into paralytic dependency There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal governments Black is not just the colour of our skins It's the colour of our politics There's no such thing as illegal immigrants, only illegal governments Today, the colour line is the power line / is the poverty line |

I'll be honest with you:
I hate war in all it's forms- Physical, Psychological, Spiritual... Emotional... Environmental I hate war... And I hate having to struggle - I honestly do because I wish I had been into a world where it was unnecessary. This context of struggle and being a warrior and being a struggler has been forced on me by oppression. Otherwise I would be a sculptor, or a gardener, carpenter - you know, I would be free to be so much more... I guess part of me or a part of who I am, a part of what I do is being a warrior - a reluctant warrior, a reluctant struggler But... I do it because I'm committed to life We can't avoid it, we can't run away from it Because to do that is to be... cowardice- to do that is to be subservient... to devils, subservient to evil and so that the only way to live on this planet With any human dignity at the moment is to struggle I'll be honest with you: I hate war in all it's forms- Physical, Psychological, Spiritual... Emotional... Environmental I hate war... And I hate having to struggle - I honestly do because I wish I had been into a world where it was unnecessary.

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 |

Back up and down the same old hill Sell the flag to the youths But who swallows the bill Murdoch she wrote Him have his hand 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 commodity Cuts the nation into three Rich pickings for the first Bottom third you never see While middle England keeps swinging its loyalty No concern for the future Just with dead royalty So will the real, the real Great Britan 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 Back up and down the same old hill Sell the flag to the youths But who swallows the bill Murdoch she wrote Him have his hand in the till So will the real, the real Great Britan step forward This is the national identity parade Shoe gazer nation forever looking backwards Time to reject the sixties charade So will the real, the real Great Britan step forward Shoe gazer nation forever looking backwards So will the real, the real Great Britan step forward So will the real, the real Great Britan step forward |

Truth hides under fallen rocks and stones
At the end of a disconnected phone (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides buried deep beneath your feet At the end of an unmarked street (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides with the people written out of history Black leaders and inventors whose names remain a mystery Great women recorded on ripped out pages Obliterated wisdom, covered up faces Truth is lost in the mists of eMpTy Vision, And found in the notebooks of those wrongfully imprisoned, and in the evidence that was never brought to trial, but not in the void behind the newsreaders' smile. Truth hides under fallen rocks and stones At the end of a disconnected phone (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides at the end of an unmarked street Stored (?) deep beneath your feet (that's where the truth hides) Chorus (x2): Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Down an unmarked street Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Truth hides whenever we lose our focus Slips out the back, quickly replaced by the bogus, fleeing soundbites disguised as facts That reappear in the small print on every contract Truth hides on the other side of a two-way mirror In countless documents sent straight to the shredder That might finally give us the whole of the picture But until the day we decide to dig a little deeper We know that truth will hide Under fallen rocks and stones At the end of a disconnected phone Down an unmarked street And buried deep beneath your feet Chorus (x5): Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Down an unmarked street Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line...... |

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 |

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 |
