Patrice & Silly Walks - Jah Jah Deh Deh/Mind Slaves
Ich poste mal den Text, weil ich das Lied auch total geil finde.
Refr: jah jah deh deh
no matter whe' a dem a say,
jah deh deh
no matter whe' a dem a say,
jah deh deh
ohh, oh na na na na na, oh na na na na na, oh na na na na na na
1.Strophe:
Well is it dem, or is it me,
is it the bird, wha deh ina di tree,
is it the fish, wha swin ina di sea,
is it the willow, wha carries birds and bees?
No, its none of that the things indeed,
its rather fi dem babylon technology,
a rather dem skyscrapers,
and a fi dem streets,
and in de nerve centers of fi dem cities:
ah where Mind Slaves a run things fi we
But Patrice Lumumba nah go rest in peace,
i tell you Kwame Nkrumah nah go rest in peace,
Mahatma Gandhi nah go rest in peace,
say Marcus Garvey nah go rest in peace,
Malcolm and Martin nah go rest in peace,
Steven Biko nah go rest in peace,
buring their bodies was like buring seeds
and in nah fi we babies i can see dem cry
and in nah fi we mothers i can hear dem weep
out of de mouths of the sufferers i can hear dem scream, hear dem scream, HEAR DEM SCREAM!
Refrain
2 Strophe
The things wha you are own
end up owning you
the things wha you are clone
end up cloning you,
the things on wha you are shown
end up showning you
any time you fling a stone it end up hitting you,
well, the tings that you posess,
end up posessing you,
you say you have progress,
but you nah progress fi true,
you climb you are so blessed, but you are cursed fi true,
cos' what comes first, ain't lasting you
Refrain (n paar mal)
Einfach göttlich, dieses Lied!
