Time to Realise

We've been down for so long
 It's time that we take a stand
 Remove the shackles make a plan
 No more excuse for our situation
 Now dem teck wi out a afrika
 Tell mi madda tell mi fadda Jesus Christ a cum
 In slavery days
 Dem change wi ways tell wi who fi praise
 Control wi wid dem gun
 Divide and rule is de game
 Yuh cah si tings is de same get up off yuh hallow head
 We are all walkin dead
 Now dem come agen new disguise
 Telling us de same old lies
 Churches here churches there churches almost everywhere
 But tings getting worst
 Pure empty purse
 An' all wi see is death an'destruction
 An' de preacher a preach
 An' de teacher a teach
 A' all de dawta dem a bleach
 An' nuttin naw guh dung
 Gun shot here ... gun shots there
 Gun shots almost everywhere
 An' wi pray, an' wi pray
 An' wi pray everyday
 Is it not time we realize
 That two thousand years have passed us by
 Have we become more lovin and kind'er
 Where is our love for mother nature
 Shall we wait for a saviour to come
 With this doctrine of a new millennium
 Get up off yuh big fat ass
 Work is worship time a pass
 Yuh cah si is you a carry de cross
 Suh dem teck wi out a afrika
 Dem neva know seh wi would a still deh yah
 Honor yuh madda honor yuh fadda
 Love yuh sista love yuh bredda
 Create a job, stop rape an' rob
 Get inside yuh mentality
 Find yuh sensibility
 Teck yuh step one by one
 Study hard have a plan
 De people perish where there is no vision
 Life is one big road with a lot of sign
 So please don't complicate your mind
 Fite de fite with all yuh might
 Build yuh strength from within
 Don't let de preacher meck yuh sin
 Point yuh arrow aim yuh aim
 Life is like a archer game
 An' if tings remain
 Only you is to blame
 Suh a tell yuh true its up to you
 To do... to do... to do
 Get up off yuh big fat ass
 Work is worship time a pass
 Don't let the children bear yuh cross
 Suh dem teck wi out a wi madda land
 Try fi kill wi one by one
 Now wi wise and wi ovastan'
 Wat is de aim, an' wat is de plan
 Doh falla falla wat dem she
 Yuh cah pray yuh troubles away
 You will have to teck matters in yuh own hand
 Personal responsibility is your only solution
 So do for you what you can do
 To yourself you must be true
 Take some time to check your mind
 A million dollar start with one dime
 Teck yuh step one by one
 Study hard have a plan
 The people perish where there is no vision
 Now dem teck wi out a afrika
 Tell mi madda tell mi fadda Jesus Christ a cum
 In slavery days
 Dem change wi ways tell wi who fi praise
 Control wi wid dem gun
