For the consciousness of the nation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation:
The music we make It cuts across borders We never make music to someone else's orders Plenty of issues on the agenda if you want to lend a helping hand You're always told to shut up and dance But you have to change this-take a chance Turn the tables, We know you're able Don't just consume Make your own tune.
The music, we use it We're making a stand I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land A conscious response is what we demand Challenge the system and those in command Express your opinion It's your domain If you fail to do this You are partly to blame My heart is beating No retreat The battle continues We'll suffer no defeat This war you've been waging It's time we were raging In our minds And on the streets Sample this It's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
Look around you, yeah Open your mind Check it out, tell me what you find Here to document a situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation Hope and glory A myth of the tories We're here to tell you a different story
Here to readress the situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation
A rapper i may be But packaged I'm not I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot This work in progress not slick but rough Breaking all records Twelve inches ain't enough Sample this It's an education The sounds of the original, the original ....
We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric An Asian background that's what's reflected But this millitant vibe ain't what you expected With your liberal minds You patronise our culture Scanning the surface like vultures With your tourist mentality we're still the natives You multicultural but we're anti-racist We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric
And we cry Them coulda never escape Disya judgement ......Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
