Soundtrack to the Struggle

[00:12.77] It's been a long time coming
[00:17.35] Too long
[00:20.05] Too long
[00:24.48] It's been in the making a quarter century
[00:28.06] But it's here now
[00:30.76] It's here now
[00:33.48] If by the time you hear this album
[00:36.47] I'm not here
[00:39.59] You know why
[00:52.73] Tell ya, so mi say
[00:54.41] Too many suffering too many tears
[00:55.79] To see a youth die I'm a know him for years
[00:59.25] When me look around nobody care
[01:01.27] The people dem a live inna fear
[01:03.59] The system need to change right now
[01:05.55] To much you do could a inna grieve right now
[01:08.28] I know si the bigger is a give right now
[01:11.14] After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!)
[01:14.63] The system need to change right now
[01:16.88] To much you do could a inna grieve right now
[01:19.09] I know si the bigger is a give right now
[01:21.69] After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!)
[01:24.83] My music is my natural resource, now I want it back
[01:28.40] Til I sever every single chain I will not relax
[01:31.08] Just constant attack, til my world looks like Monserrat
[01:33.85] Contact my comrades, for combat, what's conscious rap
[01:36.54] When you say the truth, they attack like a Saber-tooth
[01:39.30] Thinkin' clear they make you disappear like you hate the fruit
[01:42.03] We don't need more Boens, we don't need more Rebors, weed or Lyor Cohens
[01:46.68] They tell us about terrorism and tell us about terrorists
[01:49.35] Look up the definition and tell us what terror is
[01:52.05] Only know the definition if the television tells us it,
[01:54.98] Public Enemy #1 they treat me like Professor Griff
[01:57.85] This album has been in the making a quarter century
[02:00.19] Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody
[02:02.89] I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
[02:05.72] I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
[02:08.57] Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people
[02:11.21] And they fi protect and dem a leave people
[02:13.80] I me no si no system fi di street people
[02:16.51] Can't believe di money lead people
[02:18.52] The system need to change right now
[02:20.69] To much you do could a inna grieve right now
[02:22.41] I know si the bigger is a give right now
[02:25.70] After ghetto people a no steep right now (Woo ooh! oi!)

[02:34.08] I know si the bigger is a give right now
[02:36.88] After ghetto people a no steep right now (Yeah yeah!)
[02:40.55] On the news, they glorify their own henchmen
[02:43.17] Support the troops, but won't mention Joe Glenton
[02:45.61] It's funny cause the rappers are posing as the gangsters
[02:48.39] While the government taking money as bonuses for bankers
[02:51.36] In life you learn, to close your eyes and hold your tongue
[02:54.01] But together we will overcome, there's never been a chosen one
[02:56.47] Still tryna understand, the land I stand on
[02:59.05] I'll probably die from cancer or [?]
[03:01.86] I will never give up, I will never just quit
[03:04.72] I will never give in, I will never submit
[03:06.79] The reason that I came, is bleeding from the veins
[03:10.09] Of the people cause we equal, only freedom is the aim
[03:12.77] This album has been in the making a quarter century
[03:15.59] Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody
[03:18.32] I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
[03:20.57] I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
[03:23.53] Me can't believe I saw dem cheat people
[03:26.46] And they fi protect and dem a leave people
[03:28.74] I me no si no system fi di street people
[03:31.40] Can't believe di money lead people
[03:33.87] The system need to change right now

[03:54.58] If you're subordinate to corporate guys supplyin' you orders
[03:59.69] You're fighting fire with fire, I'm fighting fire with water
[04:01.56] When they kill me, I know I'll die with a focused mind
[04:03.87] Plus there'll be millions of me, ready to multiply
[04:06.46] Don't just mention, acknowledge me, remember to honor me
[04:09.33] My pen and this honesty, defendin' equality
[04:11.61] Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy
[04:14.77] Your corporate dictatorship, pretends it's democracy
[04:17.45] I hold your bloodline, accountable for every crime
[04:20.23] Adam Smith to Rothschild, it's all been a clever lie
[04:22.88] Two choices now, revolution or genocide,
[04:25.61] But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither one will be televised
[04:28.41] This album has been in the making a quarter century
[04:31.52] Born to bless the beat and rap over recorded melody
[04:33.20] I knew the truth since I was a small little boy
[04:36.07] I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
