Mr. bush, you better check out your own part
In the divine drama. you may find you the devil!
[chubb rock]
Listen.. cause in 1990
Chubb rock and the gang is on a banned mission
Hostility will rule like a jamaican ? ?
And ooh filled with dumplings, hopefully no dumpings
Like guns will be present while I keep the people jumpin
Not too much, south africa isnt free yet
I spoke to the kids from brooklyn to t-neck
New jersey, and they heard me while I cursed the
White minority regime, painted an ill scene
Brothers and sisters over there dyin
Mandela in a cell in robin island
Thank God hes out now - and while I sing
I know he has things in a full swing, yeah
This year crumb-snatcher thatcher, were gonna catch her
Being a klutz, her husband is a drunk putz
He acts absurd, now whats the word?
"johannesburg!" (2x)
"okay okay, come on." (6x)
"if hes the president, pullin out my ray-gun" -> chuck d
[chubb rock]
Listen.. cause brothers and sisters
Its time for everyone to go fishin
For your history - open a book and read
Between the lines, dont recline your mind
Sometimes I dont know how to make it understood
That a lot of black movies have been tampered by hollywood
So its important take the name and date and step
Research it yourself, cause you owe a large debt
To yourself - your history is yours to keep
.. or you wont reap
In the benefits, dont let mr. rabinuwitz
Sell you something with a sing, to get blissed
Leave the rock to the nazis, excel in yahtzee
Be a bookworm, not a bookend, cause men
Before you have died so you can taste freedom
If we cant beat em well delete em, so now
Whats the word?
"johannesburg!" (2x)
"okay okay, come on." (9x)
"if hes the president, pullin out my ray-gun" -> chuck d
[chubb rock]
Throughout history, no physical might has ever crushed
The invincible spirit of a nation
And yes we are a nation, a different coloration
But that isnt significant - pull a ligament
While youre standin, pumpin your fist they will miss
And crumble and remain in the cold abyss
And now its time for action, action is the verb
The pronoun I will say scream "whats the word? "
Now come on.. whats the word? !
Alright.. Im gonna bring in the aspect
Of my man rob-n-o, the jamaica aspect, come now
[rob o - patois best guess]
Im a soldier, Im a soldier
Im gonna chase up ? ? and run down botha
Botha betta run him betta start ? ?
I mash up ? ? when he conquer
Your gun gonna fire, come fatter
Say it to the sky like a ball of fiyah
Jah come foot rule over ? ?
Gun gonna fire..
.. Im a soldier
[chubb rock]
Alright.. time for the american, english aspect
From my man rob swinga - come now
[rob swinga]
Yo.. I wonder why is it that in africa
The black people are the 2nd and 3rd class citizens?
I mean I thought africa was black
Isnt that what they told us in our own history books
In america? I mean yo its something to think about!
They gonna tell me Im black and Im from africa
Yet still somebodys tellin me
I have no right to say what goes on there
I mean I cant understand that at all!
Thats something to really make you
Stop and think and say.. hmmmmmmm!
