Ancestral Drums
How long will the heathen rage and the people imagine vein things
Yow a bare foolishness a gwaan inna the world
G vybz
The ancestral drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
The revolutionary drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead Jupita, Ahh
The revolution weh fi start a nuh no march and a no talk
A nuh no sing nuh cumbaya and a nuh wave no placard
Dem days deh gone so hold the bulls by dem horns
Dem nuh take we serious when we calm but mek the rifle dem turn on
Rebel with a cause I was ordained for this task
Deep meditation in a me thoughts pay attention in a me class
Go way babylon me nuh want yuh rum keep yuh flask
Man a go nail yuh on yuh cross with yuh vaccines and yuh mask
Warriors get in formation stay sharp
Quick pon yuh draw and always think fast
The amount a we blood weh them shed can't rinse off
And still some people moving soft but
The ancestral drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
The revolutionary drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
Up mighty race, go ahead and take back your rightful place
But just in case you do catch a case,
Just hold the faith we will plan your escape
Don't worry about the soldiers pon the base
Mutiny is the only word them a go say
Rise against the shitsym, no more be the victim
Manipulate the rich dem, help out all the sick dem
Yow dem use to trick we, now a we a trick dem
All them little money and them food we a resist dem
Me nuh want no shower sign, don't waan si the fist dem
The ball in a we court and the shot we naah go miss dem
Evict dem
The ancestral drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
The revolutionary drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
Whole heap a things man we've been hurting for years
Centuries yuh nah mean and we've been holding, holding, holding on
Now the cup full over flowing yuh nah mean, africans rise
The ancestral drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
The revolutionary drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead Jupita,
Ahh
Yow a bare foolishness a gwaan inna the world
G vybz
The ancestral drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
Me prefer dead trust me, me prefer dead
The revolutionary drums dem just a beat inna me head
Beat inna me head dem just a beat inna me head
Before me live another day like a slave me prefer dead
