Mohammed Singh Azad
Sindabad !
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
And my act of revenge is just a part of the struggle
A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead
But it will lift the spirits of my people
We'll keep on fighting
We've been a nation abused
Your stiff upper lip will bleed
And your pride will bruised
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The sleeping tiger awakes stretching each and every morning
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
And my act of revenge is just a part of the struggle
Synchronise time
Vengeance will be mine
As I cross the curzon line into his mind
Into his home I will burn the trophies he owns
Symbols of a future postponed
Mohammed Singh Azad
Sindabad
A bullet to his head wont't bring back the dead
But it will lift the spirits of my people
A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead
But it will lift the spirits of my people
I'll shake hands with the hang man
I'll wear the noose with pride
For unlike the British I've no crimes to justify
Pentonville will be my last place on earth
And then death will return me to the land of my birth

J and D here united
Black and white here to show you how we've been delighted
The new generation since the mid nineties
Showing you it's done if you think you are a smartie
Telling you the truth since we spotted eachother
We'd like to big up our elder sister and brother
Because they are the legend and they are like no other
Trained by the greater legend mother and father
Now we think jump up lyrics are alright
But we'd like to broadcast a subject we know is not right
Look at us- but don't look at us in disgust
Because you know the reality and it's time to adjust
Think to yourself- don't be foolish about it
Fix up your brain or you'll be the target
A black man and a white woman living together
Face the facts you fascist perpetrators
And as the world is getting smaller and smaller
We can only get closer and closer
Building this community of sound
Celebrating the unity we've found
And we know this is the model to follow
For all the dub children of tommorow
As they grow under shifting skies
We'll se every nation in their eyes
Black and white here has united
We're here to show you how we've been delighted
Black and white here has united
Building this community of sound

Brothers and sisters of the soul unite
We are one indivisible and strong
They may try to break us but they dare not under estimate us
They know our memories are long
A mass of sleeping villages
That's how they're pitching it
At least that's what they try to pretend
But check out our history
So rich and revolutionary
A prophecy that we will rise again
Again and again until the land is ours
Again and again until we have taken the power
Again and again until the land is ours
Again and again until we have taken the power
Deep in the forest
High up in the mountains
To the future we will take an oath
Like springing tigers we encircle the cities
Our home is the undergrowth
Because I am just a naxalite warrior
Fighting for survival and equality
Police man beating up me, my brother and my father
My mother crying can't believe this reality
Again and again until the land is ours
Again and again until we have taken the power
Again and again until the land is ours
Again and again until we have taken the power
Jump into the future dub zone
Roots rockers
And we have taken the power
And the land is ours
And we have taken the power
And the land is ours
And we have taken the power
And the land is ours
And we have taken the power
And the land is ours
Because I am just a naxalite warrior
Fighting for survival and equality
Police man beating up me, my brother and my father
My mother crying can't believe this reality
Iron like a Lion from Zion
This one going all the youth, man and woman
Orginal Master D upon the microphone stand
Cater for no skeptical man- me no give a damn
'Cos me a naxalite warrior

Dub is the place we come to argue and debate
It isn't just a backdrop for our herbal intake
And in this time we fill the space with noise
Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid
We're raising our voices to reflect our reality
Using dub as our foundation because we've got dub mentality
Listen to the sound of the drum and the bass
Different communities meet up in the same place
We are mixing the flavours to suit every taste
This music have the power for all of the human race
Dub is the teacher
Jungle is the preacher
Dub education through the jungle a go reach ya
Cut and a splice and regeneration
Militant mix and equalisation
These are the methods for a serious operation
Pushing back the borders of your musical civilisation
So listen without prejudice and without delay
To the sound of the Asian Dub Foundation today
And in this time we fill the space with noise
Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid
Listen to the drum and bass
Different communities meet up in the same place
We are mixing the flavours to suit every taste
This music has the power for all the human race
Dub is the teacher
Jungle is the preacher
Dub is the preacher
Jungle is the teacher
Dub is the teacher

Hypocrites ! We gonna get inside your mind
Hypocrites ! You will pay for your crimes
Hypocrites we're gonna bleed you dry
Your pockets will be empty but you won't know why
Redistribution is the name of the game
All the cash that you stashed man
We're gonna give away
Lizard man beware this is the digital under class
Coming from places that you've only seen from your car
Accountant, Lawyer, Financial advisor
PR consultant, Journalist, Advertiser
We know your game and you think that we're playing it
When the bill comes through the door you're gonna be paying it
Hypocrite ! We gonna get inside your mind
Hypocrite ! You will pay for your crimes
Hypocrite ! We're gonna bleed you dry
You're pockets will be empty but you won't know why
ADF definitely without a doubt have the skills to pay the bills
The word is community
We shout it with impunity
It's so uncool
It's incendiary
No slogans, no sound bites, but a long term plan
Teaching is the frame work
Building chains of command
So when the lizard man sticks out his tongue
We pull out our scissors and do a hit and run
This is the digital underclass
Yes this is the digital underclass
ADF definitely without a doubt have the skills to pay the bills

This here's the miracle of modern creation
So we say jump up, jump up because you know we're buzzing
Any time we come I say we shock and a sting
Yeah, jump up, jump up because you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
Get up, get up come and do something
like a fly in the sky forever working
I know we shock and we sting anytime we come we getup, getup
This is the miracle of modern creation
We come out of the tunnel not twisted or bitter
Approach the future with a sound that is fitter
Equipping our minds to deal with every situation
This here's the miracle of modern creation
Abandon all your first impressions
Come and take part in this conscious session
Look to the past to get inspiration
Move yourselves forward with the dub accelaration
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
You now see I ain't standing still
Just watch me now I've got a lifetime to fill
'Cos I'm buzzing
Yeah jump up, jump up cos you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
We come so far so fast laying down foundations
Paving the way for the next generation
What we deal with millenium training
Come jump aboard now there's enough time remaining
Been checking the roots so we know where we are going
Time we were reaping for the years we've been sowing
All across Europe collecting like minded
Not here to misguide or be divided
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
Drums and bass
Junglist massive
Jump up, jump up cos you know we are buzzing
Any time we come we shock and we sting
Get up, get up, get up and do something
Like a fly in the sky forever working
Chandrasonic you're mmmmmmmmmmad
Chandrasonic you're mmmmmmmmmmad
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
No sense in standing still
Just watch me now I've got a lifetime to fill
I'm buzzing
Yeah come with me come with me
Jump up, jump up
'Cos you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
Any time we come we a shock and sting
We come out the tunnel not twisted nor bitter

And we say back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brains because you are the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
Self defence is no offence
The scales of justice are weighed down on one side
Freemasons on the case you know you're gonna get a rough ride
Hold tight even if you know your rights
It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight
For ten years one hell of a long time
To rot in a cell when you've committed no crime
Another innocent man forced to carry the can
Free Satpal Ram
Free Satpal Ram
Another innocent man
Whose word against who ?
Whose word against who ?
The degenerate crew
Out on the town thought they had something to prove
Self defence - only offence - had to protect himself from all the murdering fools
Cutting remarks on account of his race
A plate to his chest and a glass to his face
An Asian fights back can't afford to be meek
With your back against the wall you can't turn the other cheek
And its back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brain because you're the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
Free Satpal Ram
Another innocent man
Birmingham six
Bridgewater four
Crown prosecution totting up the score
Kings Cross two
Guildford four
Winston Silcott - man how many more ?
Satpal attacked in a restaurant by racists
Now the brother's been locked up on a life time basis
Convicted of murder but what's never mentioned
Self defence was his only intention
ADF once again taking to the stand
Witness the jailing of an innocent man
Kicking up a fuss because it could happen to us
Time to join in the fight back
Because enough is enough
And it's back way to all the trouble makers
Better fix up your brains because you're the biggest fakers
Come in the place better know who you are
FREE SATPAL RAM

Now watch this !
All the massive them come do culture move
This collaboration herewith is no ego trip
WE bring no badness no fuss or fighting with it
Educational why don't you keep up with this
Time to pay attention to the conscious lyrics
What them a do man what them chat about
The youth after nine o' clock can't stay out
Government man he a just a run up on his mouth
Hear ! What him a say will happen without a doubt
Cannot think for himself, copy the American
To build up the tension bring the idea to Britain
Now ! When the law is done he'll have his satisfaction
Then it will be for life for all youth, man and woman
Who goes there the original Asian Dub Foundation
Alongside Navigator on the M- I- C
Up here reality we talk and strictly culture
Culture on the move this year
HeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeh ....Asian Dub Foundation
HeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHey ....
Kingdom 'gains kingdom and nation 'gains nation
Time we are living in it's called revelation
'Cos when you take a stock of the whole situation
The elders them a poison the young generation
Instead of them trying to build a firm foundation
Them bring human beings down to pure degradation
With chemical warfare and nuclear weapons
Starvation, Sufferation, Dehumanisation
The world population have to take precautions
From pollution, corruption, infection, deception
Politicians claim that they've got the solution
But deep in their hearts they have a wicked intention
To rinse out poor people with tax and inflation
Segregating the massive, separating the nation
You think a so it goes
Why don't you answer my question
You better think again before they turn you a madman
All the massive in the place do culture move
All the massive in the place do culture move
This one is for all the microphone entertainers
You have the tool you have the talent to be an educator
Stop the slackness and tell them proper
Encourage the massive to become their own creator
Because in this time you have to understand
That the government man's going to try and mash up man plan
So direct the crowd and give them navigation
And believe you'll get a wicked reaction
HeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHeyHey Asian Dub Foundation
Sound of the culture on the move
You better be conscious in everything that you do .....
