Shock, black double down-beat bouncin'
|
Rock-wize tumble doun sound music
|
Foot drop, find drum blood story
|
bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
|
|
Thunder from a bass drum soundin'
|
Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ
|
Bass and rythm and trumpet double up
|
Keep up with drums for a deep pound searchin'
|
|
Ridim of a tropical, electrical storm
|
Cool doun to de base of struggle
|
Flame ridim of historical yearnin'
|
Flame ridim of de time of turnin'
|
Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin'
|
|
Slo' drop, make stop, move forward
|
Dig doun to de root of pain
|
Shape it into violence for de people
|
They will know what to do, they will do it
|
