| Lyrics: | I say the people of Handsworth, know that
One hand wash the other so they say
So let's join
hands my bredren
Make the way for our children (our children, our children)
And 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
Crowning us,
crowning us, crowning us, crowning us
A place of Evil, OH, OH
Handsworth means us the Black
People
Handsworth means us the Black People
We're taiklng now. Speaking Jah Jah
language!
It's a long, long way we're coming from
To send this message across,
across
Its been hidden, forbidden, concealed, unrevealed
Its 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
- fighting back
We once beggars are
now choosers
No intention to be losers
Striving forward with ambition
And if it takes
ammunition
We rebel in Handsworth revolution
Dread town, dread town, dread
town,
Dread town, dread town, dread town,
Dread we are for a cause
Deprived of many
things
Experienced phoney laws
Hatred Babylon brings
We know what we got to offer
We
know what's going on
Don't want no favours
Cause there is still hunger
Innocent
convicted
Poor wage, hard labour
Only Babylon prospers
And humble suffer
They are
brothers in south of Africa
One Black represent all, all over the world
Can't bear it no
longer
Blessed wlththe power
Of Jah Creator
We will get stronger-acap |
