Get TAKE A STAND at I-Roots Bandcamp: iroots.bandcamp.com/album/tak...
Slave driver
You must do the math
There are few of you and many of us do you overstand
We work so hard and do the best we can
But it’s never enough and times are rough
So we take a stand
Take a stand
Well I could never ever turn a blind eye
The heathen dem rage and the wolf multiply
See dem inna the ambush man we strike dem on sight
Babylon fraid when the Rasta nah comply so
Now we certified and we surely qualified
Building start shake when the music amplify
Like an earthquake rumbling and a flashing inna the sky
People start feel it from London to Shanghai
Weak heart could not enter haffi be like samurai
Sting den like a bee and move now like a butterfly
Roots like the tree of an African bonsai
Selassie I only you I glorify so
Chorus
My people they could never hypnotize
They took us of Africa the ghetto youth arise
Lions come together organize and centralize
The safety of my nation I would never jeopardize
Tired of the funerals and tired of goodbyes
Tired of the backbiting all time
Tired of the hypocrites and all the parasites
Open heavens Rastafari unify
Lion symbol Rastafari livity nah hide
Freedom is a place can be found down deep inside
Justice is a tool that can be brutalized
But I and I just adapt and improvise
