VR- Hombre! Que Pasa?
BD- Yah, Yah, Yah! Nice one my friend. Everyt'ing Irie?
VR- So where have you been; where are you coming from?
BD- Mad business man. Up in di hills, all around the family moving in.
VR- Not long til the day now. How are people feeling?
BD- Lots of mad energy flyin' about. People wit di feeling this is gonna be part of the new His(Her)story.
There's a new message in the wind. 'Be positive! Rightness on our side!'
Whatever t'ing come our way, let wisdom and overstanding guide di day.
VR- How's this gonna go down? Is there gonna be a battle on our hands?
BD- Well you know what they say, 'Everyday di bucket goa well, one day di bottom mus drop out!'
We prepared for whatever come. If they close down now, we'd throw a freedom party like no other.
But if they try to push us in a corner, we'll react like any sane being would. We'll resist and we'll defend ourselves! 'Til Shiloh, we stand strong.
VR- Truth Man
So tell me what do you think of all this mad military complex about.
Warships off the coast, surface to air missiles, police state like no other.
They're preparing for a terrorist attack?
BD- No suprise there, is it though?
They no care fi justice, they no care fi equal rights.
All them craven choke puppies, and they put all their toys to their greed.
Callin' peace lovin' beings terrorists only cause they a voice of opposition.
Ready to begin an armed struggle cause they know t'is be di only type of fight they can win.
There no arguing the rightness of their system, people know it wrong.
There no sayin' they are for justice, people seen too long their lies.
There no claimin' they helping the people, we know that power is in our own hands.
The one t'ing they do so much betta than us though is to build guns and bombs, to strengthen di shackles, to hold di people in bondage.
They want the struggle to be bloody fi tyranny is the only way they can control.
Bloodshed is di last t'ing we desire, but di fear of it will not silence our voices!
VR- Well, well than
Things are heating up!
BD- No doubt man. The world's cryin'! The earth is diein'! And people everywhere be starvin'!
Still, no retreat from their hatred and deceit. People workin' for a betta day, and they try to hold us back with their wicked ways. No justice, No peace!
VR- Proper speak man.
Well we betta let you get back to business. Cheers for your time.
BD- No problems, the message all through the wind, we just gotta learn to listen.
VR- Right, Stand Strong. One Love my friend!
BD- Yah, Yah ... Bush Docta' outta here. 'Til Shiloh!
