Rebel Code
Monkey Marc
Dutty Babylon cyaan give we nuh talk
Babylon vex, tell dem we care zero
Turbulence, Yeza and Black H3ro
And we nah play with nobody
Black soldiers coming in like a buffalo
Try nah get inna we way
Rebel dem a take over yuh place
In comes the lyrical miracle spiritual
Trapped inna di physical
Ain’t talking ‘bout the cynical or the typical, listen to me
We trod from Nazareth through valleys of death
Over seas hazardous
We fought for what we had
So mother, father, sister, brother must set a
plan inna Babylon
From you get a choice
Better double check it twice
Many youths alive
Just know their hands are tied
And many youths are dying
Mama she scream and cry
Empress!
Memba Marcus Garvey tell yuh say
When you wake you haffi spread yuh bed
Disagree dem call you terrorist
Hey dis ya message have a code like wifi
Mind like sky dive
Everyday mi see another black youth pon mi timeline
Yow I swear sometimes mi wonder when a my time
Say dem serving justice but mi nah go join nuh long line
It doesn't matter where you are, oh black men
You've got something that they want
And they keep coming for more
Dem haffi come fi mi when mi company have di telescope
Vision 2020 Goddess haffi represent
Still a rude gyal Bangle Lady a mi genesis
From di youths nah know di truth still haffi count the deficit
We see di racists, dem waan erase we
So we a go lace dem
High up pon di trellis and mi haffi grow mi lettuce
Cah mi nah go take no poison from di hands of mi enemy
Careful of di program weh you watching on di Tele V
Internet sensations a turn you inna waste man
When you see di rebels, no it's not a playground
And we coming in yuh city with di red ones
With di flood and with di rain inna yuh stadium
The rebellion must come
Di rebellion is alive
Tell dem say we kick off di roof long time
Cause we’ve gotta rise
Aye dutty Babylon BOOF!
Size 10 inna yuh face
Run up inna yuh place and prosecute yuh case
Aye, look how much innocent lay to waste
All because of you, give dem a taste (yow)
Stay vigilant, assertive and firm
Make we kick off di door and make di table turn (aye)
Mama you nah cry fi yuh son again
Light up di fire you hear, Babylon a burn
We nah like how dem a gwaan
Why you terrorize di poor?
Mind you make we take to di streets with arms
And shub yuh cabinet out di door
Dem a rapist and pedophile, predator, leggo mi child
Mi nah like yuh style, you vile, Scud missile
Fi di wicked fi di wild, hypocrite and parasite, you’re soiled
Pagan a fire tire and oil
Who knows the feeling, we feel it
God knows we live it, streets bleeding
Like woah
Riverton is all we breathe in
Who knows the feeling, yeah mi feel it
God knows we live it, streets bleeding
Like woah, oh!
This corruption is hard to breathe in
Plastic masks a take over di planet overnight
Black people dem a push up a di front of every fight
Cyaan live if dem still a make a mockery of wi life
Who a sleep you better check yuh pulse if yuh alive
Formation a time now fi line up
When di weapon's not a gun, it's saliva
And nuff of dem a suicide fi designer
Black king with yuh black queen beside you
The way how we trod
An how we handle it
Beast yeah we’re trampling
System we’re dismantling
The devil yeah we’re strangling
Jah energies we’re channelling
Living remote in dem system
Because mi tired of the anger, the blame
The hurt and the shame
See my people protesting over and over again
And nothing nah change
From I was a kid
Yow it made up in my brain
These things they must change
So young Jedis, find the force inside, bruh
Light that sabre
Keep the furnace bright and burning
Keep it bright and blazing
Sidestep haters
Plant some acres
Keep the dreams and the goals dem going up and up
Just like vapours
Make the right choices, proper sacrifices
Throw away the vices
Cos many youths alive
Just know their hands are tied
And many youths are dying
and Mama scream and cry
They want us to give in and cry and die
We’re so over all your promises and lies
David will always slew Goliath, no surprise
Victory
Jah forces will survive
Jah forces will survive
The rebellion must come
And tell ‘em say fi kick off the roof long time
Cause we've gotta rise
And some will say that we must wait in vain
But we haffi live wi life, energize, everything prophecy
Aye
Oh, Babylon falling down

Yaad N Abraad
Yea yea yea yea yea, Rastafari know
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Hey hey!
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh lord! I say same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Well we no mix up, we no mingle with no guy we no know
Straight family man par wid so watch your approach
I nah tun off from the mission
King Selassie is I gold
I’m begging every ghetto youths no sell out your soul
And repatriate your mind
Africa is the goal
Straight like an arrow, Rasta never lean - oh no!
I nuh want not a spliff from a guy me no know - watch it!
Nuh go hear Dre Island drunk or parro
Live inna glass house, them say you no fi throw stone
So I know we haffi trod out a Rome and know the road code
I man say
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Hey hey!
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh Lord! I say
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Light bill, water bill, everybody cry
Gas rate, land tax gone sky high
Corruption, destruction, political cry
More guns than shelters for the homeless child
Diseases have yuh wheezing and yuh don’t know why
Coughing till yuh throat sore, no cure in sight
Oppression, depression make gunshot fly
Worst when pickney want food and that cyaan find
Blood still a flow just like the River Nile
Daytime colder than the nighttime
Policemen a roam street say them a fight crime
Still no truth cyaan read pan the primetime
So physically mentally you affi strong
Can’t weak heart when you out inna Babylon
Got to stay focus and know your direction
'Cause outta Rome full up a nuff demon
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh Lord! I say
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
I hear youths crying for justice, for justice
Yet you give them religion injustice
Just justice, just justice, just justice
Yet you bring I division, not justice
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad

Amun Ra
The fall of nations and empires has always come about first by the disorganized spirit — the disorganized sentiment of those who make up the nation or empire
Life a bring a joy and Amun-Ra a di giver
Man go burn a spliff and take a dip in a river
Anyweh Babylon see di Rasta youth a trod dem a shiver
Ancient like a shiva
Negus no no neguh
Man a wull a joy and Amun-Ra a di giver
Man go burn a spliff then man guh tek a dip in a river
Mi nuh nyam kidney mi nuh waah nuh rum fi mash up mi liver
Ancient like a Shiva
Yeah yeah
Better believe wah mi go tell yuh
Mi mek dah song yah pon cloud level
Not just because mi a smoke
Mi deh up a blue mountain
Watch kinda look like a gold bezel
Flow pon a level like Cochella
Self-educated from time
Know the cons and the pros well
Ina one life dem use to call me Set
Wah yuh know ‘bout shamanism
Wah a the reason fi issues
If yuh talk yuh missing
The conglomerate a kill yuh if the mass a listen
Dem a try take it back to the old days
Try that then the matter missing
Mek dat soak in
Try that now, then the master missing
Mi know nuff a you a wonder wah dat mean
That's why yuh shouldn’t stop read
Philosophies and opinions mi a sing pon a trap beat
And mi stand up fi wah mi believe
Coulda neva be an athlete
Deh ina di mountain a stomp feet
No concrete
Life a bring a joy and Amun-Ra a di giver
Man go burn a spliff and take a dip in a river
Anyweh Babylon see di Rasta youth a trod dem a shiver
Ancient like a shiva
Negus no no neguh
Man a wull a joy and Amun-Ra a di giver
Man go burn a spliff then man guh tek a dip in a river
Mi nuh nyam kidney mi nuh waah nuh rum fi mash up mi liver
Ancient like a Shiva
Light a spliff and puff a smoke
Babylon nuh come near mi
Izzy will buss yuh throat
Kush heights serious mi see you is just a joke
Rather live a bush like goat
Before mi give yuh nuh support
Yuh nuh see the city shitty
Yea mi see it a choke
While the average man a starve yuh cack up a eat yuh pork
Yuh nuh fit fi mi vote
Yuh brain ridiculously slow
Drop a seed inna di ground and water it
It a grow
Yuh fi know
Life a bring a joy and Amun-Ra a di giver
Man go burn a spliff and take a dip in a river
Anyweh Babylon see di Rasta youth a trod dem a shiver

Man go burn a spliff then man guh tek a dip in a river
Mi nuh nyam kidney mi nuh waah nuh rum fi mash up mi liver

Willy Lynch
Yow Monkey Marc
Fyah Roiall you zimmi
Yeah man
Dat yute deh
Lyricist, smarter than Willy Lynch
Jamaican, African lineage
And if me did deh bout inna the beginning
Mi woulda tell Eve seh a mi she fi kick it with
Mi triggering a couple brain cells itching in the back of mi mind
Some top of the line ideas how fi
Chop up every rhyme, one one at a time
Cyaa see me at the back of any line, pan top man a climb
Dem walk in my shoes?
First time dem ever feel soul
Look inna my mind
First dem ever seen gold
Forward motion mi never detour
Will oppress the oppressor if mi never reach home
Hella dem a wonder where mi getting these flows
Weh wicked like politicians inna every zone
Emancipate yourself you need fi take your freedom
As easy and as quick as you give it
Pon a level
Already know who them nuh waa fi see pon a level
That's why mi nuh fool wid dem policy pon a level
Mi waa fi see who dem nuh waa fi see pon a level
Reach up pon a level
And mi seh pon a level
Already know who them nuh waa fi see pon a level
So mi nuh fool wid dem policy pon a level
Mi waa fi see who dem nuh waa fi see pon a level
Reach up pon a level
Lyricist, smarter than Willy Lynch
Jamaican, African lineage
And if me did deh bout inna the beginning
Mi woulda rid of Columbus before the pilgrimage
For the most part right now it seems like Willy win
Just take a likkle glimpse at the system we living in
Single parents, grown people rejecting skin
No trust, no love barely for even kids
But that's not my business *sips tea*
Mi never seen another free mind
Since me
But somehow mi know seh ones deh
Out deh wid some open minds that broke the kinds
of chains wah them did give we
Bring me to the room with the truth
And gimme a quick read
With maybe a translator in case anuh English
But no, that's too much right?
But if mi wish fi a 16, that a quick reach
That kinda sad
Pon a level
Already know who them nuh waa fi see pon a level
That's why mi nuh fool wid dem policy pon a level
Mi waa fi see who dem nuh waa fi see pon a level
Reach up pon a level
And mi seh pon a level
Already know who them nuh waa fi see pon a level
So mi nuh fool wid dem policy pon a level
Mi waa fi see who dem nuh waa fi see pon a level
Reach up pon a level
Welcome the King the most lyrical
Most lyrical in this land
Is this man
Them asking mi if this song is a diss track
And mi nuh "no it is just strictly facts"
Just lift this back from top then flick this back
This deadly like when a snitch link with a
Police and the ends get run in pon
And bare ting pop off pon some
Man weh not even a smoke

Dem gas you up like a balloon and now you're losing air
You're in a hurry fi go hell, the devil will be there

And the cops they will give you a bangle fi wear
And a this unu fi hear
So mek mi tell you this
Badness is a risk
Finger pon di trigger and you pull it and you miss
It never firm inna yuh fist
You mash up all yuh wrist

Wanna be extortionist, waan live big?

Unnu better get up, turn up, yes get up, turn up

And remember the words of King Selassie I
Him seh fi organise and centralise
Be self-sufficient and hail the most high
And memba when Marcus Garvey prophesise
If you don’t stand up you will die
Ask mi no question I tell you no lie
Spit inna di sky it a go fall inna your eye
What goes up I say it must come down
Seh we control over country and we mash it inna town
Wriggling and yuh jiggling to the champion sound
Tell yuh dis a sound come fi mash your place down
Tell yuh dis a sound a go mash down Rome
Mi seh get up, turn up and fight
Unnu get up, turn up and fight
Yes Babylon a go take away your human rights
Unnu better get up, turn up, yes get up, turn up
