lyrics

Bant Singh:
Comrade Rana held their arm (gave them strength) and they reached a great (powerful) place
Another comrade was standing at the crossroads, awakening the farmers
Comrade Rana held their arm (gave them strength) and they reached a great (powerful) place
Another comrade was standing at the crossroads, awakening the farmers
He was performing his duties (or doing his job) in the morning and “taking classes” at night (spreading awareness amongst people regarding inequality)
Sucha Singh Soorma was a great Hero, who hailed from village Samaon.
Another Lion King was born after him and his name was Hakam Singh Samaon
Together they had everyone’s attention, they had shaken the centre (government) in Delhi
As long as people live, their names will be counted amongst legends
Oh comrades…
Delhi Sultanate:
buss di clips – load dem up again
IED – explode dem up again
unify the youths – block road dem up again
wa da da deng wa da da deng wa da da deng wa da da deng

reality
we just sing songs
gather ina mi yard at night and drink rum
wake up in the morning hustle for income
nuff farmerman a turn hurry-go-bring-come
still di youths a pray for a righteous kingdom
nuff tribal youths a turn hurry-go-bring-come
nuff youthman a turn hurry-go-bring-come
come c c c c c come come

well Indian multitudes – weh a live for servitude
seek the truth and we nah stay mute
government them all a loot and shoot
act like crackers in a safari suit

how many souls di whola dem enslave
how many countries dem done invade
dem come and dig dem owna grave
dem crushed deh by dem owna weight
babylone come – dema use us like slaves

how many souls di whola dem enslave
how many countries dem done invade
dem come and dig dem owna grave
dem crushed deh by dem owna weight
babylone come – dema use us like slaves
