It's been a long time coming Too long, too long It's been in the making a quarter century But it's here now, it's here now If by time you hear this album I'm not here you know why Tell ya so mi say Too many suffering too many tears To see a youth die and mi know him for years When me look around nobody care The people dem a live inna fear The system need to change right now To much youth a go down inna grave right now Yuh nuh see the bigga heads a gaze right now Haffi ghetto people a no slave right now (Woo ooh! oi) The system need to change right now To much youth a go down inna grave right now Yuh nuh see the bigga heads a gaze right now Haffi ghetto people a no slave right now (yeah yeah) My music Is my natural resource Now I want it back 'Til I sever every single chain I will not relax just constant attack 'til my world looks like Montserrat Contact my comrades, for combat What's conscious rap when you say the truth They attack like a Sabre-tooth Thinking clear they make you disappear Like you hate the fruit We don't need more Boeings, we Don't need more Rebors, weed or Lyor Cohens They tell us about terrorism and Tell us about terrorists Look up the definition and tell Us what terror is Only know the definition if the Television tells us it Public Enemy #1 they treat Me like Professor Griff This album has been in the Making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and Rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I Was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy Mi can’t believe a suh dem treat people Dem deh ya fi protect and dem a beat people And mi nuh see nuh system fi de street people Can’t believe dem a de lead people The system need fi change right now Too much youth a go down inna grave right now On the news, they glorify their own henchmen Support the troops But won't mention Joe Glenton It's funny 'cos the rappers are Posing as the gangsters While the government taking money As bonuses for bankers in life you learn To close your eyes and hold your tongue But together we will overcome There's never been a chosen one Still tryina understand, the land I stand on I'll probably die from cancerous Anger like Frantz Fanon I will never give up, I will never just quit I will never give in, I will never submit The reason that I came Is bleeding from the veins Of the people 'cause we're equal Only freedom is the aim This album has been in the Making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and Rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I Was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy If you're subordinate to corporate Guys supplying your orders You're fighting fire with fire I'm fighting fire with water When they kill me I know I'll die with a focused mind Plus there will be millions of me Ready to multiply Don't just mention, acknowledge me Remember to honour me My pen and this honesty, defended equality Declared a republic, and ended your monarchy Your corporate dictatorship Pretends it's democracy I hold your bloodline Accountable for every crime Adam Smith to Rothschild It's all been a clever lie Two choices now, revolution or genocide But thanks to Rupert Murdoch neither One will be televised This album has been in the Making a quarter century Born to bless the beat and Rap over recorded melody I knew the truth since I Was a small little boy I am a product of the system I was born to destroy
