Dances of Resistance

See di yout' dem a chant an' prance

Dem a ready to play dis dance

Running from the hill like a burning lance

To the valley of abundance

So many voices on the same riddim

Singing louder than the sound system

So many colors comin' out of concrete

Come we go downtown, come we go shout on mainstreet

Push! Push! Fi give justice a chance

Push! Push! Fi mek turn di balance

See dem are scornin' on that movement

Dem think we don' t know the rules we just can' t understand

But we know We are firm an' confident

We know for which battle we stand

Dem will not deceive us again with false pretence

Get outta control get outta control

Stop that rain this is self-defense

Get outta control get outta control

Get outta control get outta control

Push! Push! Fi give justice a chance

Push! Push! Fi mek turn di balance

No work for capitalisim, no work fi communisim

No deal patriotisim, fundamentalisim,

An' ya isim an' ya isim an' ya skisim au' ya cheatin' an a lyin'

All dis a skatta racisim

Clear up my mind an' give some sense

To what I feel deep down in my conscience

What can I do? what can I do?

I don' t know what to do, tell me what to do

But there is so much things to do, so much things to do

There is so much things to do, so much things to do

Push! Push! Fi give justice a chance

Push! Push! Fi mek turn di balance

Dem a ruff an' tuff girls an' boys

Side by side in a joyful noise

Some a dem come and play trumpet an' tuba

Som a dem come and drum it inna batucada

Drum it!
