Queen Ifrica - Times Like These
The highest form of expression of human intelligence
You have have become complacent
Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything
You have become a bunch of consumers
You are creators
Rise up, mighty people, and accomplish what you will
Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life
They took away the voices that gave the people pride
Now we're plunging into darkness
We all have to play our part, make a bold start
Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
How so much alcohol in our parties
While the girls a broke out
A the supper weh she drink, knock her out
Now she no care weh dem prop her up
It's times like these, I'm missing our heroes
Times like these, I really wish they where around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Marcus Garvey
We know that you tried your best, but we'll to the rest
They bred up the shotta dem, now we have a lot a dem
Prison pack up, now the grave dem a go pack with dead
Dem broke the national bird wing
Sell we out clean, me no think we owe a dem a damn thing
Jamrock why are we giving in
To the trick weh dem a trick we from the beginning
Parents, you need fi wake up from the slumbering
It's we children blood dem is running
It's times like these, I'm missing our heroes
Times like these, I really wish they where around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Bob Marley!
We know you never die in vain
We gonna rise again, hey
People use the fist, hold the bell
Beat promise till it swells
Nobody nah go hear if you noyell
Listen what they tell you 'bout the bucket weh a go well
Black woman put on your baggie that something deh no fi sell
That's how we deh fi know society cruel
Go ask dem a who put the crab inna barrel
PM, opposition, unno done with the quarrel?
Unite, come together, teach the people how fi chill
It's times like these, I'm missing our heroes
Times like these, I really wish they where around
Shouldn't have to be like this
Oh Miss Lou, we need you
A the first I've heard of this
Hundred and counting 'pon the murder list
They took away the voices that gave the people pride
Now we're plunging into darkness
We all have to play our part, make a bold start
Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness
How so much alcohol in our parties
While the girls a broke out
A the supper weh she drink, knock her out
Now she no care weh dem prop her up
It's times like these, I'm missing our heroes
Times like these, I really wish they where around
We need you, we need you, we need you
Sam Sharpe
We need you, we need you, we need you
Nanny... teah
It's times like these, I'm missing our heroes
Times like these, I really wish they where around...
Shouldn't have to be like this
Marcus Garvey
We know that you tried your best, but we'll to the rest
