Truth hides under fallen rocks and stones
At the end of a disconnected phone (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides buried deep beneath your feet At the end of an unmarked street (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides with the people written out of history Black leaders and inventors whose names remain a mystery Great women recorded on ripped out pages Obliterated wisdom, covered up faces Truth is lost in the mists of eMpTy Vision, And found in the notebooks of those wrongfully imprisoned, and in the evidence that was never brought to trial, but not in the void behind the newsreaders' smile. Truth hides under fallen rocks and stones At the end of a disconnected phone (that's where the truth hides) Truth hides at the end of an unmarked street Stored (?) deep beneath your feet (that's where the truth hides) [Chorus (x2):] Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Down an unmarked street Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Truth hides whenever we lose our focus Slips out the back, quickly replaced by the bogus, fleeing soundbites disguised as facts That reappear in the small print on every contract Truth hides on the other side of a two-way mirror In countless documents sent straight to the shredder That might finally give us the whole of the picture But until the day we decide to dig a little deeper We know that truth will hide Under fallen rocks and stones At the end of a disconnected phone Down an unmarked street And buried deep beneath your feet [Chorus (x5):] Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line Down an unmarked street Truth it's a hide under rocks and stones At the end of your line... |

I know of a place not so far away
Where no government holds sway Where no Prime Minister is given the time of day Where the people demand to have a say And they say tomorrow begins today So I know I have to find a way I'm leaving today To where no fences may bar my way Where my imagination Can be led astray Tomorrow begins Today |

Read up your history and then you'll reach your destination
Teach up the youth and then you'll find the solution Education is the key Will be for eternity Come focus upon dis and then you will see We've come so far so fast from what they call the past Laying down foundations and we know they're gonna last Present and the future we will never fall Realise united we stand and divided we fall This is the wall of community sound We're comin to get you comin to track you down No escapin from this militant scientist Suffer no defeat is upon top of the list Hope and glory the myth of the Labour Tories We're comin down and tellin you a different story Any time when we come positive and confident And them coulda never escape this ya judgement |

The police a chase we
The beast can't catch me When I see his big stick him deal me a lick Tower Hamlets Nine have to go free Not even a fine for the Tower Hamlets Nine Youth Connection Stop this infection Defenfing defending defending the community Some fascists in Brick Lane looking for a fight Police doing nothing: One rule for Black One rule for White ADF, we're about to strike Time is getting short Elections in May Give the fascist man a gunshot That's the only way There are many different languages spoken in this land But only one language that the fascist understand Why don't you Kick the fuckers in the head Kick the fuckers in the head Why don't you? Master D Adlib " Every institution in this city, right is prejudiced against us There's no accountability There's no servant of the Police Force Or his DI or whatever Who is accountable for his attitudes" Our parents had to sit tight Weren't allowed to fight back physically just a mental strain Restraint! Now I think I've found a remedy to this recurring pain Not passive but resistant Your assumptions were wrong: Like coffee without milk ( ! ) Too black to strong For too many years man you've had your fun Now it's time Now it's time For us to hit and run 'Cos we're second generation but we're not second class Now the wrath of the Asian will hit you like a blast Now the wrath of the Asian will hit you like a blast In this time there is no justice or peace In this time there is no trust in the police Quddus Ali saw no justice or peace Altab Ali saw no justice or peace Stephen Lawrence saw no justice or peace Too many people still waiting for release Master D Adlib |

The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round
How many megatons will it take To make them turn around The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons will it take To make them turn around every man is left behind everyman has lost his mind Exocets and dollar signs Bounce off the shell of me tank Another missile flying high snaking cross the desert sky Oilmen in their jeeps ride by speeding to the bank the wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons it take to make them Turnaround Tombstone Cops with Gripping Hands Playing Cowboys in the sand Nothing ever goes as planned deep inside my tank Shell-suited booted goggles flash Tripping out under the trax Buffalow soldiers high on crack Smokin in me tank Fox by foxed news my head is confused Sometimes I think that I'm being used Suppress all thoughts automatic mode So I can't see the ghosts crowding the road The wheels of the tank keep turning round and round How many megatons will it take to make them turnaround Awaken Mesopotamia Never left No Hope City, Georgia The world is Shitsville, Arizona Death Metal getting louder and louder Pumping in me tank Searching for the Hindu Bomb Searching for the muslim bomb Still on the lookout for the suicide bomb Get on your knees and thank Christ for the Bomb |

See their eyes see their lies
Unelected rejected it don't matter anyway See their smile Read their file By hook or by crook they always find their way Still at the bottom of the learning curve Maybe got the leaders that we deserve Biting the burger makes our brains get smaller waistlines getting larger we wanna make it harder We gotta be as hungry as they are We gotta be as hungry as they are Get hungry Get angry Get Hungry And take back the power Put your fist in the air Rebels here and everywhere Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare times dem tough Justice rough A million on the streets don't seem to be enough taken for a ride way down inside livin rent free within your mind Mercenary military use everything they got Coup d'etat make us pay for every shot Believe the world they show breathe the air they blow Losing sense of what I know is real and what is not We gotta be as hungry as they are We gotta be as hungry as they are Get hungry Get angry And take back the power Put your fist in the air Rebels here and everywhere Do we rise do we fall are we playing truth or dare |

Ami Bidrohi!
I the Rebel Warrior I have risen alone With my head held high I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! I'm hear to teach you a lesson I'm hear to torture your soul I'm the itch in your side That's got out of control 'Gonna prey on your conscience You'll be praying for forgiveness Seen all the evidence No longer need a witness So take my word man Here's my sentence One hundred thousand years of repentance. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken It's my burning ambition to burn down your empire Man I'll be building you a funeral pyre The fire in my eyes If looks coulda kill I won't be satisfied until I've had my fill. Check my anger, it's real Ain't no token I'll be satisfied only when your back's been broken Ami Bidrohi! I the Rebel Warrior I have risen alone With my head held high I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! Repetitive beats beating against your skull I'll be striking you down to the sounds of the wardrum The doum! The doum of the dhol taking its toll Null and void is what you've become An underground army with my brothers and sisters Hand to hand fighting building up a resistance Repetitive beats beating against your skull Null and void is what you've become Ami Bidrohi! I the Rebel Warrior I have risen alone With my head held high I will only rest when the cries of the oppressed no longer reach the sky When the sound of the sword of the oppressor no longer rings in battle Hear my warcry! Null and void is what you've become Take the long train to Bombay Dark ask the tombs came Your christmas set You won the freedom to forget Feeling good,vibration Which need to another nation Taking hurray taking hurray |

Check it out Without a doubt This is the new sound a coming around No we never lost sight of the fight on our hands People of colour Listen up We're giving you the first bite Homegrown - many seeds have been sown We're developing our sound Now it's fully blown Creative movements- Moves meant to make you think Sounds shaped to take you to the brink Messages received and sent MIDI Warriors OMNI on This is Rafi's revenge Equal opportunity denied to us Yes they put us on the white list That's why we're making a fuss They never thought we'd get to this stage Still they won't give us any space on their page Mixing the rant with the rave- That's our way But they only want to listen if we've nothing to say No start or end points Just dealing with this time stretch Cos in this time, dread We're on a mission to vex. |

Suspending our belief and still on full pay Chief Condon is safe, what did you expect? Who's up next? Calling Officer XX! |

I am a modern apprentice
I believe in the life-long learning 'Ain't gonna take away this natural yearning To know the truth The truth about the lies you've been giving It's not a state of affairs that that I'm prepared to live in I will find out for myself No I ain't gonna be your clone Ain't gonna be working my fingers to the bone To feed your mouths When the poor around me are starving And you the fat cats are sitting pretty and laughing I will do it in spite of you I'll educate myself Then I'll empower others So that we can make our own wealth Yes I'll empower others So that we can make our own wealth |

Who controls the past controls the present
And who controls the present controls the future The battle for the past is for the future Must be the winners of the memory war Smash reach out and then grab the flower At the end of the day their defeat will be for sure Have you inside your memory the scene of the crime If you don't have a clue then you're running out a time Struggle continues while di sunshine Past and the truth two of them you have to combine Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded Cover ups are covered up in the name of the law Presidents and royalty caught red handed And you won't know about it for fifty years or more Come pay attention to the re-educator The battle for the past is now the battle for the future Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia Soon come judgement day Who controls the past controls the present And who controls the present controls the future The history they teach is the voice of the victor You need to look again you need to have a propaganda! If truth is your price then come join the bounty hunters Because truth make you the enemy of all these liars Because books dem a burnt and documents are shredded cover ups are covered up in the name of the law Presidents and royalty caught red handed And you won't know about it for fifty years or more Come pay attention to the re-educator The battle for the past is now the battle for the future Fire for the messengers of this fake nostalgia Soon come judgement day |

Somewhere in the ghetto where morality died
It's A rapid response and all the hand s are tied Ask the questions later raise the 45 Press it against his head watch him beg for his life Now you're the judge,the jury and the executioner sealin' his fate Now you're the judge,the jury and the executioner sealing his fate You're feeling the hate You never asked why it's two eyes for one eye Act on on instinct you know the truth from a lie And you spit at the man behind the video lens In his crazy theme park where the means are the ends Hate breeds hate and a beat makes a beat Can this bitter revenge can ever be so sweet? So you're the judge,the jury and the executioner , sealing his fate You're feeling the hate You're so close to the edge can you pull back in time There's a voice in your head and a voice from behind Appealing to reason helping you to make sense Of the mess that's around you Are you a spanner in the works or part of the plan Are you shaking or biting the invisible hand Is revenge the the only way that you can make a stand Its not how you fall -it's how you land IT'S HOW YOU LAND! Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner Are you the judge the jury and the executioner sealing his fate You're feeling the hate |

Read up your history
and you’ll reach your destination Teach up the youth and then you’ll find the solution Education is the key will be for eternity Come focus upon dis and then you will see We’ve come so far so fast from what they call the past Laying down foundations and we know they’re gonna last Present and the future we will never fall Realise united we stand and divided we fall This is the wall of community sound We’re comin to get you I'm comin to track you down No escapin from this militant scientist Suffer no defeat is upon top of the list Hope and glory the myth of the labour tories We’re comin down' and tellin you a different story Any time when we come positive and confident And them coulda never escape this ya judgement |

Take the long train to Bombay
Duck as the tunnels came Tune in your crystal set You've won the freedom to forget You've won the freedom to forget Feeling good migrations Tuned in to the mother nation Taking her aim Changing your name Now we're nomads That stay in one place Not a country Not a face Standing out but still like ghosts Long-term guests Ungracious hosts Re-written history A sleepy slavery Those sweet sweet sweet machines Senfling, selling Good migrations Tuned in to the mother nation Taking her aim Rearranging the chains .... The nine year old boy who had wanted to be white Set out on the journey from loneliness to pride Hostile environments along the way A slowly changing landscape But a steady stream of consciousness rising A steady stream of consciousness rising This is the journey from loneliness to pride No longer any need to hide .... Struggle to live And we cry struggle to survive Struggla, struggla, struggla, struggla Just to stay alive In the jungle you either do or you die You got to be aware You got to have the jungle eye .... |

from Asian Dub Foundation - Senses Frontline/ No Doubt (2006)
For the consciousness of the nation
Sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation: The music we make It cuts across borders We never make music to someone else's orders Plenty of issues on the agenda if you want to lend a helping hand We?re always told to shut up and dance But you have to change this - take a chance Turn the tables, We know you're able Don't just consume Make your own tune. The music, we use it We're making a stand I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land A conscious response is what we demand Challenge the system and those in command Express your opinion It's your domain If you fail to do this You are partly to blame My heart is beating No retreat The battle continues We'll suffer no defeat This war you've been waging It's time we were raging In our minds And on the streets Sample this It's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation. Look around you, yeah Open your mind Check it out Tell me what you find Here to document the situation The sounds of the original, the original... Hope and glory A myth of the tories We're here to tell you a different story Here to readdress the situation The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation. A rapper I May be But packaged I'm not I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot This work in progress not slick but rough Breaking all records Twelve inches ain't enough Sample this It's an education The sounds of the Asian Dub Foundation... We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric An Asian background That's what's reflected But this militant vibe ain't what you expected With your liberal minds You patronize our culture Scanning the surface like vultures With your tourist mentality we're still the natives You're multicultural but we're anti-racist We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic The only 'e' we use is electric. And we cry them coulda never escape Disya judgment... |
