CHORUS
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem chopping down OUR role models
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem a cutting down OUR role models

Cause every single time we make a stance now yeah arrh!
They always try their very best to catch us with our pants down woe
Want to smear our name
And denounce our fame
It's a crying shame
Hatred still remains
I'm charging dem rascals for libel and slander oh!

CHORUS

Check your plots and schemes in your game shows
To turn our heroes into zero's
Know your tricks and deeds
Want to kill the seeds
That we plant and grow
Why you stoop so low
I'm charging them rascals for libel and slander oh!

CHORUS

DJ RAP........
Listen to the thing that I'm about to confess
I hate and I despise and I deplore and detest
The tabloids and newspapers better known as the press
And so much propaganda that it leads to distress
Magic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, boom your the best
Advice to Micheal jackson keep your cards to your chest
Mr Iron Mike Tyson always under arrest
And vote fi Jesse Jackson him a next president
The plight of OJ Simpson caused a civil unrest
Police beat up Rodney King until his face was a mess
Defend yourself by any means and Malcolm say yes
I dare a man to ever curse a who JAH JAH bless
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
Dem just a mud up, mud up
Blood up blood up etc

Up ye mighty race
And wipe the dirt from your face
Never ever fall from grace
The mind is a terrible thing to waste (repeat)

In dis ya struggle
OUR role models
