lyrics

Revolutionary people, with revolutionary minds, putting everything in line
Revolutionary people, its crucial everytime, but we're doing just fine

Why should I bow to your bondage
When Rastafari done set I free
Who made you a judge, who gave you jurisdiction over me
And why should I lower my standards or change my character
When the core of my heart cries out for militancy
So you can call your kings horses and call your kings men
and tell them we just won't bend
Call your kings masses and all your kings friends, call the whole a dem

Just can't hide, everybody knows Im one of them

Revolutionary people, with revolutionary minds, putting everything in line
Revolutionary people, its crucial everytime, but we're doing just fine

Now we don't think like they do
not everything you hear is true
They wanna flip and spin us around
They trying to play us the fool
But we stand up for the right thing
We got to keep our faith and hopes
Scare tactics not working that's just not the way it goes
All we stand on is the truth and we have to defend it for our youths

Revolutionary people, with revolutionary minds, putting everything in line
Revolutionary people, its crucial everytime, but we're doing just fine

Just can't hide, everybody knows Im one of them

Tired of your slogans, nuh bother wid yu come and bribes
We're on a different program, fighting on the militant side
All we stand on is the truth, We got to defend it for our youth
Everybody knows we're one of those
