i set myself on fire
cause i‘m a burnin man
no one can satisfy my desire
all alone i stand
in my right hand a lighter
in my left a petrol can
cause i‘m sick and i‘m tired
haffi burn down everyting
i‘m drinking tnt
i‘m smoking dynamite
just like the one john lee hooker
and mister buddy guy
i pay my fees, oh lord i try
but like jay z said: it‘s a hard knock life
money is needed but i just don‘t find
someday i gotta feed my kids and wife
but all i see is dutty parasites
can‘t trust nobody these times
cause a lie dem a lie
i feel like buried alive
six foot six down the line
with no chance to revive
can‘t live can‘t die
i feel like drowning in time
into the deep i dwine
i guess i lost my mind
can‘t breathe can‘t cry
spitting fire like a dragon
eyes full up a rage
stand tall like a lion
dem can‘t lock me away
i man a loaded like a nine
triggerfinger a shake
some a dem try fi test i
but dem a soft like cake
man a zulu warrior
there ain‘t no barrier
nothing i‘m sorry for
as i blow up the corridor
you see me a the carrier
me haffi hurry up
this will soon be a burial

this is the head top miners
this shit gonna spread like a virus
we‘re stashin our treasure like pirates
now we go smash it, more pressure inside, yes
we‘re sellin‘ our tracks to the deaf
you don‘t need to hear well to feel that
we make the kripplemans dem skank
every nerve‘s gonna cure when we tun up the set
i‘m a live life to the fullest
no trouble no strive
i survive all them bullets
i‘m a go harder than metal
no honour, no medal
i go in for the final battle
can‘t cool, seh me just can‘t sekkle
like a zulu, i man is a rebel
and just like vodoo, i come fi hex them
here comes the next step
watch out mind the gap
then we ready fi go tear down them concrete walls
nah have no fear, seh dem won‘t see me fall
nah shed a tear, we run dem from we sprawl
jus like a disease, seh the worst a dem all
so i call fi me peeps, no, call fi me dogs
nah go retreat, we move on till we buss
when the pharaoe sleeps, we the israelites flee
cause we‘re sick, tired and in need, yes indeed, cause
i won‘t sell my soul to no one
but if jah rings my bell, then i know that it‘s done
as a righteous soul i know he won‘t lick me down
as he knows i‘m the one, who schools all the young
so, learn your lesson, get educated
or in a few years we go end up on slaveships
and again they be taking us far away
history go repeat, if we never try change it
rearrange it, common i don‘t have to explain this
from you don‘t want us to end up in chains
this is my last try to heal your washed brains
and it woulda be better if we all stop complaining
just stand up and go out in the rain, and
grab a wet and cold stone and throw it in their way
i bet you‘re not alone, we all wanna be free

mud is my ink
my fingernails are my pen
i‘m hiding as i‘m writing
these letters to a friend
cause only we know the truth
and we know they just pretend to
it was like, one wrong move
and they would put us in handcuffs
and i stare at the walls
when I scribble my thoughts
to keep my mind on point
when my frame feels so raw
and they keep us behind these locked doors
because of the things that we saw
they‘re so scared that we might talk
but they can‘t just turn us off
so they don‘t want me talk to you
and they don‘t want us talk to dem
so dem catch we and send us to prison
locked us in different cells
but none a dem can‘t muzzle me
time to break jail and pray tell ya‘ll
only we can put this puzzle together
on these cassiber letters
we‘re writing cassibers
behind letters‘n‘bars
they might put us in handcuffs
but they can‘t lock up our thoughts
we‘re writing cassibers
spread ‘em like messengers
my bones and flesh is locked
but i still got my pen to talk
they opened the doors and we followed them in
we have a key, the doors locked from withtin
they keep us inside cause it‘s fixed in our mind
that it‘s bad outside but in here we have friends
panopticontrolling everyone
but my pen, they can‘t see what i am writing down
and their shackles and bars, they just can‘t shut me down
we are rebels, break laws, with our heads not our guns
by keeping us guessing, they‘re keeping us down
but when we write our bars it‘s resistance in sound
it‘s long overdue so we make ink speak
it‘s time to analyse and then rethink
behind bars as we are reading between the lines
so at least we can be free within our minds
they locked me but i flee on these letters i write
spreading them like seeds, forever through time

drilling a hole, way in your brain
taking a cord and plug it in
then we rewash your brains and we clear up your minds
take all the bad thoughts away and heal all the blind
like the ludovico technique, thats how you feel like
you may feel sick after it but it will ease after a time
then you‘ll be released from their lies
you can feel free, move free in your life
head top miners, we free up your mind
get up, nah skylark, go reach for the sky
thats what i‘m teaching you, guys
like django dem unleashed me tonite
so i kill, hang, no, strangle dem with them ties
it‘s time for dem to realise
who‘s a friend, who‘s a enemy, right
dem nah penny we, aite
me nah bow eventhough dem a pressure me live
it‘s the sound a the next level revolution right now
we bury all your negative illusions right now
you shoulda know what the truth is all about
that‘s why i tell you, till you go wild out
fed up a dem prasites ruling this town
sick of all dem bag a lies movin‘ around
nuff sniches and vampires spook and a haunt me
try push me down to the ground when them got me
your thoughts getting clear again
you won‘t shed another tear fi dem
you nah fraid no more, nah have no fear fi dem
if we infect some more dem have a bere problem
so tell dem bout me army, guerilla militia
our troops will be swarming out like killabees
until lucifers heart‘s into ashes and pieces
cah dat wha we want, babylon a retreat, yes
out in the street they used to call it murder
but now there is peace
we‘re one chapter further, we won world war three
politicians versus the workers, you see
and what we a learned out of all a these things
is we shoulda never turn off our course, cause we‘re free
from we coulda never work nuff to earn nuff money
to survive in a world full of devils and freaks

i‘m tripping on dem neon writings
streelights and passerbys, sittin‘ at the bustop
in front of the club, blood red eyes
like buddha, looking calm outside
but inside man a stick of dynamite
ready fi explode, fi blow up, ready fi light
so me wait for the mans dem inside
fi call the i: yo kiney you‘re ready now, stagetime
cah me none a dem backstage sittin‘
boys them who fi act like them aged nine
cause before i step on stage i need a sane mind
and i dont want no fake vibes
so i‘m blowin‘ out the last wiff a de spliff
and i emty the drink that i sipped
i‘m steppin‘ in quick and a slick
the whole crowd‘s just too wicked and sick
nuff bitches and chicks, ready for rippin‘ that shit
so i step up on stage kickin‘ this hit
dem a call me a entertainer
my flow‘s like h
when it enters the veins
when i enter the stage
the center‘s insane
addicted by the first lines i‘m sayin‘
sing with me, ya‘ll know the name
so i step up, the beat begins
i‘m kickin in, rewind, pull up
a so di thing‘s set, selecta lick back
bring it back and come in one more time
cause i got nuff lyrics and nuff rhymes
on this spherical basslines
for your spirit, for your mind
from you feel it, then it‘s right
energy generated
and transformed in different spaces
you give it and you take it
same with me up on stage
cause whenever i finished a show
you know my flesh is tired
but my spirit, my battery‘s load
it‘s a direct interaction with
you the crowd, the crew
knowledge, positive vibes, i talk, you move
and listen, word, sound and power to be released
and free speech, yes, teach the youth the truth
and a make them believe then
cause the system we live in
is full of brainwashed bredrin and sistren
and its up to us if we can set dem free
if we can heal dem
give dem the right education
give dem some vinyl, let them listen

t‘entends un son futuristique
et tu resents les vibes de la musique
c‘est un bilan d‘un voyage ludique
qu‘on présente a la rapidité ultrasonique
this is sci-fi
comin trough your hi-fi
lyrics travelin‘ in ya mind
at the speed of light
catch a vibe
on this journey to a higher height
with a suitcase
full a drums and basslines
so get into our spacecraft
the ark of today that saves us
ya‘ll know now, humanity is gone insane
and they‘ll soon erase us
that‘s why we gotta go outta space, so far away
our engine is the vibes we all generate
and we defeat gravity with that mighty beat
twang‘s the navigator, he runs the cockpit
and between skyscrapers we take off to our trip
vas-y donne moi la main et j‘te montre notre future
rien de rose que des machines pas de culture
j‘écris c‘est quelques ratures
pour avertir ceux qui sont faibles et impures
pourpre est la couleur intense de la révolte
et ma voix transporte dix millions de mégavolt
non mon crew n‘a pas besoin de colt
et on sème toujours des nouveaux sons après la recolte
j‘vous sers des mots avec un flow interstellaire
pendant qu‘les autres sont en train de jouer aux gangster
je m‘élève dans des sphères inconnues
j‘écris des milliers de verbes imprévus
j‘espère que tu m‘as reçu 10 sur 10
mon bon cru mérite toujours 10 sur 10
lancer par amenofils dans les interstices
et ne tombera jamais pour le bénéfice
i gotta send us to outta space
cah, too much devils dem a run this place
two, one, zero, now we‘re gone away
and i still can‘t tell you where we gonna stay
but the bills dem a send me man a just can‘t pay
and our planet‘s surface fades to grey everyday
and i can‘t stand the shackels they pun on my feet
while mother nature is captured in ferroconcrete

this is the generation rage, generation hate
methamphetamines and h
hustlin‘ crack and spreadin‘ aids
is that the revolution that you talk bout
should that be the solution
is that for what you walk out
talk out the things, chop off the strings
no more puppet master, no more hail the king
they failed, we win, we sail, they sink
on our ark, trough a arc of flames and ya‘ll are in
now let the story begin
strikin‘ with word, power and sound
fighting for what we learned out of this first round
new world order
thats what you should work for
go harder go stronger
in this mental war
be wise, start watching the world with your third eye
see the signs, read between the lines, between their lies
don‘t you just hang around and hope for a change
no more obama drama, we got nuff a that things
no more opium for the people, no pope, no imam
we need some hope for our people, sri dhammananda
soldier of truth, nothing left to lose
they teached the youth bout future
but now i tell ‘em the truth
