DILATED PEOPLES

DILATED PEOPLES - Firepower (The Tables Have To Turn) lyrics

[Capleton]

King Shango and Rakaa getting hotta/

Getting in tacka/ Now the whole place locka/

Fya man seh bun dem, bun dem/ Mek wi bun dem,

un dem/ Killing out di daughters and di son dem,

dun dem/ Blaze up di fya mek it bun dem/ Bun out dem

bombs and dem bullets and dem gun dem [Repeat]

[Rakaa]

The fire starts with a spark/ Then a shift up in

the mind/ People scared to be themselves/ Seem happy

to live a lie/ Give thanks for collie weed/ Never ever

sniff a line/ Conquering Lion/ 225th in line/ If we say

we're "Pro-War"/ Only in the fight for peace/ Man, that

means no war/ Think the price of life is cheap?/ But

we're saying "No More"/ Righteous recognize the beast/

Fireman'll baptize/ Burn 'em the light and heat/ Forward

to the power in a phrase like/ "Acts Of God"/ Prophet

said he saw the flood waters rise/ And the flow was hard/

I was really shocked to see/ The truth was exposed as hard/

While the media was focused/ On the words by Kanye/ What

was it I just heard the President's Mom say?/ People here

are frustrated/ Still got a long way/ Fed up but remember/

Self Destruction is the wrong way

[Rakaa & Capleton]

Too much ratat.../ Keep it pon lock if you're gonna use one/

(Remember that)/ Ratat.../ Strictly self defense or for

revolution/ (Remember that)

[Chorus](Capleton)

They think I'm crazy/ But di tables have to turn/ They

think I'm crazy/ But di fya have to burn/ They think

I'm crazy/ But di children have to learn/ They think

I'm crazy/ Wow, wow, oh

[Capleton]

Rakaa tell dem seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem,

bun dem, bun dem/ If dem kill di daughters and di son dem,

bun dem/ Bun dem out dem bullet and and dem bomb and dem

gun dem/ Wah mi seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem,

bun dem, bun dem/ Serious mi serious ain't makin no fun

then/ Weh mi seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem,

bun dem, bun dem/ Listen to di words weh a come off a mi

tongue/ Rakaa tell mi seh

[Rakaa]

It's Dilated with the Prophet/ Capleton the Fireman/

Visions of the future's clear/ Reign Of Fire in his hand/

Crown Prince Rakaa/ Preacher's son with a higher plan/

Coconut and carrot chalice/ Looking for the kaya man/

Babylon is vexed with us/ They should read Exodus/ Moses

and the burning bush/ Incense in Leviticus/ Lamb's Bread

sacrament/ Check out 1st Corinthians/ Shipped of to

America/ All through the Caribbean/ No it's not an

accident/ Gangbangin and the dope/ Guns and crack are

lynching youth/ Swinging from a hangman's rope/ Addicts

wanna shoot up/ Pop pills/ Wanna drink and toke/

Automatics spit hot/ You can still se the smoke

[Rakaa & Capleton]

Too much ratat.../ Keep it pon lock if you're gonna use one/

(Remember that)/ Ratat.../ Strictly self defense or for

revolution/ (Remember that)

[Capleton]

Well bingyman wi haffi mek a decision/ Caan mek dem

distract wi from Jah Jah mission/ Dem a worry bout mi sight

and ask bout mi vision/ Dem want to know weh certain things

it derive from/ From di injustice and di manipultation/

Death without dignity and exploitation/ So mi go, go ask di

wicked man/ Weh dem dem pan/ Why dem haffi build so much

evilous weapon/ So mi go, go ask di wicked man/ Why dem

haffi build so much evilous weapon
