Asian Dub Foundation - Jericho Lyrics
Written by: das, pandit, savale, zamanFor the consciousness of the nationThe sounds of the asian dub foundation:The music we make it cuts across bordersWe never make music to someone elses ordersPlenty of issues on the agendaIf you want to lend a helping handYoure always told to shut up and danceBut you have to change this-take a chanceTurn the tables,We know youre ableDont just consumeMake your own tune.The music, we use itWere making a standI wouldnt call this a green and pleasant landA conscious response is what we demandChallenge the system and those in commandExpress your opinionIts your domainIf you fail to do this you are partly to blameMy heart is beatingNo retreatThe battle continuesWell suffer no defeatThis war youve been wagingIts time we were ragingIn our minds and on the streetsSample this its an educationThe sounds of the asian dub foundationLook around you, yeahOpen your mindCheck it out, tell me what you findHere to document a situationThe sounds of the asian dub foundationHope and gloryA myth of the toriesWere here to tell you a different storyHere to readress the situationThe sounds of the asian dub foundationA rapper I may be but packaged Im notIll slip through the noose before you tie the knotThis work in progress not slick but roughBreaking all records twelve inches aint enoughSample thisIts an educationThe sounds of the original, the original ....We aint ethnic, exotic or eclecticThe only e we use is electricAn asian background thats whats reflectedBut this millitant vibe aint what you expectedWith your liberal minds you patronise our cultureScanning the surface like vulturesWith your tourist mentalityWere still the nativesYou multicultural but were anti-racistWe aint ethnic, exotic or eclecticThe only e we use is electricAnd we cryThem coulda never escapeDisya judgement ......
