Lyrics

Brute force on the frontline
Youth force, it's your time
Rastafari call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
Yeah, man, all soldiers reported duty
King Selassie I a call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
Accurate, ayy, huh
Who have eyes to see, dem a go see, and who have ears, dem a go hear
When Rastafari calling, the reception haffi clear
Hungry fed, naked be clothed, many infants to be cared
Sick be nourished, aged protected, that's the duty that we share
When yuh tek up Rasta banner, do nuh tek it fi nuh joke
It's more than just di locks upon yuh head an' what yuh smoke
Di words dem dat yuh spoke, energies yuh evoke
Dem must be a reflection of di King
Ayy, I merge from the shadows wid mi big spliff a glow
Kabaka send to call mi, seh di war, it ready now
Ragga send mi pon di road wid di magazine dem load
Lyrically rapid fire when dem attacking the throne
Any time we come around, word power and the sound
Surrender to the struggle is a thing we'll never do
The example has been shown, some believe and others know
Rastafari mek di call, mi brothers and mi sisters move, betta let dem through
Brute force on the frontline
Youth force, it's your time
Rastafari call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
King Selassie I a call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
Hey, get to know yuh King and watch him end yuh suffering, ah
Nuh pay nuh mind to none a di stones weh dem a fling, ayy
Medi' haffi firm, di revolution start within ya
Pon di front line, not inside peepin' through no window
Step without a extra clip, oh no
Stop hol' it an' go tun a counterfeit, oh no
Firm grip on di truth, wi a di yutes weh know di value a wi roots
Refuse to lose any more prophets
It's not about no doctrine or religion, it's my actions and decisions
'Cause these tracks weh man a sing pon, dem impact how people live
But some of we just lackin' vision, and no, yuh nuh haffi be a mathematician
Fi see how poverty attracts attrition (true)
The yute dem growin' up without no stable father figures
And the school nuh really give dem nuh foundation fi go build pon
Suh dem tek it to di street and all dem face is opposition
And restriction from police and politician, everyday a just di same
Brute force, yeah, on the frontline, yeah
(Huh), youth force, (each and every one)
Ay, it's your time
Rastafari call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
King Selassie I a call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
Brute force on the frontline (Dat di bwoy dem a use iyah)
Youth force, it's your time
Rastafari call yuh, call yuh, call yuh (Yeah, di most high call upon di young, yuh know?)
King Selassie I a call yuh, call yuh, call yuh
