Lyrics
We know the system does exist
We acknowledge the existence of the system
So we have to find a way to go round it
We must find a way to navigate around it
Flex every muscle yeah
Exert effort and determination
Cos we have to try a thing to compound it
Attempt different approaches to tackle challenges
Understand that self belief
Recognize the importance of self-belief
Is the most crucial component
Self-belief is a crucial element
Gives a man the tools he needs
Self-belief provides essential tools for overcoming opponents
To overcome a difficult opponent
Tools are necessary for facing difficult challenges
So when he falls to the dirt and crumbles
In the face of defeat, there will be condolences and support
There will be words spoken in condolence
Words spoken when someone falls
While the people shall stand in victory reminiscing about those stolen moments
People remember victorious moments
So throw down your arms and come
Advocate for peace, lay down weapons
Raise every voice into the sky
Encouragement to express oneself
Let's murder them with love and not some futile battle cry
Promote love over futile battles
Do nuh rise the machine - and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
If you believe in the words of our prophets
Belief in prophetic words and consequences
You done know about bigger judgement
Acknowledgment of divine judgment
So the life them a tek weh fi fuckry star that don't make no sense
Rejecting senseless actions
Ghetto youths ah make each other fallen soldiers when they could be standing as brothers
Encouraging unity among marginalized individuals
No one can hear what you really mean as the nails hit the board box cover
Difficulty in understanding amidst tragedy
So if you find it hard to trust in your heart, just think of what you're making
Consider the consequences of one's actions
If there's a choice to live or rest in peace, I know which one I'm taking
Choosing life over conflict
So throw down your arms and come raise those voices to the sky
Advocating for peace and unity
Let's murder them with love and not some futile battle cry
Reiteration of promoting love over battles
Do nuh rise the machine - and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeat caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nun rise the machine
Caution against provoking destructive forces
And blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine
Caution against provoking destructive forces
Pause it up and go scrape and clean
Pause and reflect, avoid provocation
Nuh rise the machine
Avoid inciting destructive forces
Blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine
Caution against provoking destructive forces
One conscious message spoken by millions, Babylon can't silence or drown them
One unified message can't be silenced by oppressive forces
Kingdoms must rise and dynasties fall, like night must follow the morning
Nature of change and cycles
Flex every muscle yeah
Reiteration of exerting effort and determination
Because a new era's dawning
Recognition of a new era
Put sown the strap and go find new tools, you nuh hear the revolution calling
Embrace change and revolution
So when they fall the dust and crumble, you can say you played a part
Participate in positive change
While the people shall stand in victory, with their hands upon their hearts
Victory and pride in contributing to change
So throw down your arms and come, keep those voices to the sky
Advocating for peace and unity
Let's murder them with love and rest that futile battle cry
Emphasizing love over futile conflicts
So do nuh rise the machine and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine, pause it up and go scrape and clean
Pause and reflect, avoid provocation
Don't rise the machine and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Nuh rise the machine
Avoid inciting destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
Repeated caution against provoking destructive forces
Do nuh rise the machine and blame it on the streets cos they're mean
