[00:57.57] I say the people of Handsworth, know that
[01:05.56] One hand wash the other so they say
[01:08.47]
[01:12.34] So let's join hands my bredren
[01:15.34]
[01:16.40] Make the way for our children (our children, our children)
[01:21.64] And their children (their children, their children)
[01:25.65] Ensuring that they get life's fair share of...
[01:29.27]
[01:34.01] Equality...
[01:40.44]
[01:42.81] Doesn't justice stand for all
[01:44.93]
[01:46.74] Doesn't justice stand for all
[01:48.93]
[01:50.80] Doesn't justice stand for all mankind
[01:54.35] We find society putting us down
[01:59.53] Crowning us, crowning us, crowning us, crowning us
[02:02.06] A place of Evil, OH, OH
[02:08.92]
[02:10.92] Handsworth means us the Black People
[02:13.41]
[02:14.85] Handsworth means us the Black People
[02:17.53]
[02:18.03] We're taiklng now. Speaking Jah Jah language!
[02:22.77]
[02:23.40] It's a long, long way we're coming from
[02:26.95] To send this message across, across
[02:30.88] Its been hidden, forbidden, concealed, unrevealed
[02:35.32]
[02:36.50] Its got to come out In the open that -
[02:39.81] BABYLON IS FALLING
[02:41.74]
[02:43.80] BABYLON IS FALLING
[02:45.99]
[02:46.73] It was foolish to build It on the sand
[02:50.60] Handsworth shall stand, firm - like Jah rock
[02:54.91] - fighting back
[02:56.28] We once beggars are now choosers
[02:58.42]
[02:58.98] No intention to be losers
[03:02.66]
[03:03.23] Striving forward with ambition
[03:06.22]
[03:06.78] And if it takes ammunition
[03:11.09] We rebel in Handsworth revolution
[03:15.04]
[03:43.86] Dread town, dread town, dread town,
[03:45.61]
[03:57.94] Dread town, dread town, dread town,
[03:59.25]
[04:04.06] Dread we are for a cause
[04:06.31] Deprived of many things
[04:07.87]
[04:08.61] Experienced phoney laws
[04:10.30] Hatred Babylon brings
[04:11.80]
[04:13.04] We know what we got to offer
[04:16.04]
[04:17.16] We know what's going on
[04:19.60]
[04:20.47] Don't want no favours
[04:22.34] Cause there is still hunger
[04:23.59] Innocent convicted
[04:24.03] Poor wage, hard labour
[04:25.27] Only Babylon prospers
[04:26.21] And humble suffer
[04:27.27]
[04:28.27] They are brothers in south of Africa
[04:30.27]
[04:31.14] One Black represent all, all over the world
[04:33.14]
[04:36.69] Can't bear it no longer
[04:38.32] Blessed wlththe power
[04:39.19] Of Jah Creator
[04:39.88] We will get stronger
[04:40.81] And we will conquer
[04:41.87] And forward ever, and backward never
