Aka Lyricson .
Another body on the floor that's how the story goes
On his way home to his little woman, when the cops pulled him over
Have I done something wrong mr officer Another body on the ground
Another brother going down
People passing around they all can hear the sound
Can someone please help me ? I m scared and I can t breathe
Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me
Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me
They don t love we and it s an evidence
Fi di black people they got no diligence
Shedding the blood of so much innocent
That s why we haffi put up a resistance
Situation is getting out of control/ it s like they want to put we all in a big hole
Genocide of my people is what I behold
Killing all black Queens and Kings is that your goal ?
Burn them and them wickedness lightning and thunder upon the wicked place
Step we a step up ina dem face
They will never get rid of mi black race
Equal rights and justice them nah provide
Why is it always the same that are victimized
Tired of seeing my poor black mothers cry
Full time Babylon fe realize
This ain't the way things out to be
Is this the World we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me
There must be a change say we ve got to rearrange you nuh see how things gone insane though we re all one and the same
Where is the love we ought to share ?
See them killing my people as if they don t care
Hot fire and flames for all the innocent ones that you slained
For all the heartaches and pain and all the lives sent down the draint
Oh father here me as I pray please come down and show us a better way
Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me
Is this the way things out to be ?
Is this the world we re living in ?
Can someone please tell me tell me

Aka Anthony John
I see yes i saw and for these things i have some answers
But for that i am not sure
Yes that thing between less and more
I’ve being working so hard to stock some paper
Yes i try to comply
But when i realise
i am notting but a modern slave Oohhh.
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhhh
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhh
Power to the people
A People power What we talking bout.
Laws to divide the rich from the poor
That demonstrates why we are at this stage today
Wooh those laws hearted us in so many ways
We’ve being destabilized
Oh so now Rise yes we can rise up as one rise yes we can
We can be together stronger
Wooh yeh Power to the people i say .
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhhh
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhh
Power to the people
A People power What we talking bout.
Sad story but a true cas we see weh some still a hate and kill dem one another
While some a try fe change what dem can never
You see when we learn fe unite a unity ago be our strength mon
Get the thing organize
Not jus fe work hard but work wise
Yeh mon Simple mathematics iyah
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhhh
Power to the people ahhh ahhh ahhhh
Power to the people
A People power What we talking bout.

Aka Perfect Giddimani
yuh nuh si sey babylon a confusion
nuff a dem get ill from illusion
shape shifter dem a nuh real human
some get smoke out like cuban
reality a check yuh dat a true man
giddi bun di fire like mi bredda name lutan
from spain town right back a newland old time something new bran..
reality pinched you in the back.
not one more inch youve got to stop.
you keep on running of the track
reality check you like a cop,
dont waana be a dreamer and dream too much.
maintain your focus and keep intouch
dont wanna be a dreamer and dream too much embrace the reality and keep intouch.
