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
