Dealings

cncestral memory

Doh let me forget where we come from

We deal with the fire

We deal with the pain, the pain, the pain

We deal with the power

In sunshine or rain

c say we dealing, we dealing

We dealing, we dealing

Well, what it mean when a people inherit a land and the land so happy to see them?

cnd they carry their own history like secret under arm from some far away place

cnd that get tie up inside the ancestral vibration of the land

Then one god of thunder meet another god of thunder and they limbo under plantation suffering

Till they meet a new situation, till out of mud they make mountain and out of pain they make music

Is dealing they dealing with whatever breeze that blow

Is beating they beating whatever drum they know

They know how to make fire, whether goat skin or iron with the doption motion, with the deep sensation

But if your head hollow, or your ears pack up with wax you woulda never hear when the rhythm say when it speaking

It say we tired sing all them sorrowful song so raspo an' so and so is how this message going down

Whether kaiso or rapso, we done tell you a'ready but your meditation narrow, and your feet too heavy

We deal with the fire

We deal with the pain, the pain, the pain

We deal with the power

Whether sunshine or rain

c say we dealing, we dealing

We dealing, we dealing

cncestral memory, memory, deep like the sea

Don't make we forget where we come from

Guide we footstep as we go down the road, strengthen we hand leh we carry the load, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

cn' we done get the call so let we answer

Every nook, every cranny, every corner, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

So much a pressure but we back well broad

In the heart of the struggle look we done draw we sword, oh yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

Yes, we stand up strong and we brave we bold

We ready to defend as the history unfold, yeah

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh

Now we ready to defend, yes we ready

We ready to defend, yes we ready

Is a long, long journey but we rockin' steady

We ready to defend, yes we ready

We ready to defend, yes we ready

We ready to defend, look we ready

c long, long journey but we rockin' steady

We ready to defend, look we ready

We deal with the fire

We deal with the pain, the pain, the pain

We deal with the power

Whether sunshine or rain

c say we dealing, we dealing

We dealing, we dealing

You woulda see we street corner

cn' say we wastin' time

When is deal we dealing

Decolonising the mind

We smarter than smart man

We upset the set up

Well look, we set up the conman

Even big politician get ketch with the thief-head

We deal with the fire

We deal with the pain, the pain, the pain

We deal with the power

Whether sunshine or rain

c say we dealing, we dealing

We dealing, we dealing

The transatlantic vibration

The struggle never done eh
