Handsworth Revolution

I say, the people of Handsworth (Ooh)

Knows that the one hand wash the other, so they say

So, let's join hands my brethren

Make the way for our children (Our children, our children)

And their children (Their children, their children, their children)

Ensuring that they get life's fair share of

Equality

Doesn't justice stand for all?

Doesn't justice stand for all?

Doesn't justice stand for all mankind?

We find society putting us down

Crownin' us, crownin' us

Crownin' us, crownin' us

A place of evil, oh, oh

Handsworth means us, the black people

Handsworth means us (The black people)

We're talkin' now

Speakin' Jah-Jah language

It's a long, long way we're comin' from

To send this message across, across

It's been hidden, forbidden

Concealed, unrevealed

It's got to come out in the open that

Babylon is falling

Babylon is falling

It was foolish to build it on the sand

Handsworth shall stand firm like Jah rock

Fightin' back

We, once beggars, are now choosers

No, no intention to be losers

Striving forward with ambition

And if it takes ammunition

We rebel in (Handsworth) revolution

(Handsworth) Revolution

(Handsworth) Yeah, yeah, revolution

Handsworth revolution

(Revolution)

Dread town, dread town

Dread town

Dread town, dread town

Dread town

Dread, we all for a cause

Deprived of many things

Spirits, phony laws

Hatred Babylon brings

We know what you've got to offer

We know what's going on

Don't want no favors, 'cause they're still hungry

Innocent convicted, poor wage, hard labor

Only Babylon prospers and the humble suffer

They are my brothers, yeah

In South Africa

One black represent all, all over the world

Can't bear no longer, blessed with the power

Of Jah Creator, we will get stronger

And we will conquer and forward ever

And backward, never lose
