[Minister Farrakhan]
|
Mr. Bush, you better check out your OWN part
|
in the divine drama. You may find YOU the Devil!
|

[Chubb Rock]
|
Listen.. cause in 1990
|
Chubb Rock and the gang is on a banned mission
|
Hostility will rule like a Jamaican ??
|
and ooh filled with dumplings, hopefully no dumpings
|
like guns will be present while I keep the people jumpin
|
Not too much, South Africa isn't free yet
|
I spoke to the kids from Brooklyn to T-Neck
|
New Jersey, and they heard me while I cursed the
|
white minority regime, painted an ill scene
|
Brothers and sisters over there dyin
|
Mandela in a cell in Robin Island
|
Thank God he's out now - and while I sing
|
I know he has things in a full swing, yeah
|
This year crumb-snatcher Thatcher, we're gonna catch her
|
being a klutz, her husband is a drunk putz
|
He acts absurd, now what's the word?
|
|
"Johannesburg!" (2X)
|
"Okay okay, come on." (6X)
|
"If he's the President, pullin out my Ray-Gun" -> Chuck D
|
|
[Chubb Rock]
|
Listen.. cause brothers and sisters
|
it's time for everyone to go fishin
|
for your history - open a book and read
|
between the lines, don't recline your mind
|
Sometimes I don't know how to make it understood
|
that a lot of black movies have been tampered by Hollywood
|
So it's important take the name and date and step
|
Research it yourself, cause you owe a large debt
|
to yourself - your history is yours to keep
|
.. or you won't reap
|
in the benefits, don't let Mr. Rabinuwitz
|
sell you something with a sing, to get blissed
|
Leave the rock to the Nazis, excel in Yahtzee
|
Be a bookworm, not a bookend, cause men
|
before you have died so you can taste freedom
|
If we can't beat em we'll delete em, so now
|
What's the word?
|
|
"Johannesburg!" (2X)
|
"Okay okay, come on." (9X)
|
"If he's the President, pullin out my Ray-Gun" -> Chuck D
|
|
[Chubb Rock]
|
Throughout history, no physical might has ever crushed
|
the invincible spirit of a nation
|
And yes we are a nation, a different coloration
|
But that isn't significant - pull a ligament
|
while you're standin, pumpin your fist they will miss
|
and crumble and remain in the cold abyss
|
And now it's time for action, action is the verb
|
The pronoun I will say scream "What's the word?"
|
Now come on.. what's the word?!
|
|
Alright.. I'm gonna bring in the aspect
|
of my man Rob-n-O, the Jamaica aspect, come now
|
|
[Rob O - patois best guess]
|
I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier
|
I'm gonna chase up ?? and run down Botha
|
Botha betta run him betta start ??
|
I mash up ?? when he conquer
|
Your gun gonna fire, come fatter
|
Say it to the sky like a ball of fiyah
|
Jah come foot rule over ??
|
Gun gonna fire..
|
.. I'm a soldier
|
|
[Chubb Rock]
|
Alright.. time for the American, english aspect
|
from my man Rob Swinga - come now
|
|
[Rob Swinga]
|
Yo.. I wonder why is it that in Africa
|
the black people are the 2nd and 3rd class citizens?
|
I mean I thought Africa was black
|
Isn't that what they told us in our own history books
|
in America? I mean yo it's something to think about!
|
They gonna tell me I'm black and I'm from Africa
|
yet still somebody's tellin me
|
I have no right to say what goes on there
|
I mean I can't understand that at all!
|
That's something to really make you
|
stop and think and say.. hmmmmmmm!
