1. _ Black White
G and D here has united
Black and white here to show you how we've been delighted
The new generation since the mid nineties
Showing you how it's done if you think you are a smartie
Telling you the truth since we spotted each other
We'd like to big up our elder sister and brother
Cos they are the legend and they are like no other
Trained by the greater legend - mother and father.
Now we think jump up lyrics are alright
But we'd like to broadcast a subject we know is not right
Look at us - but don't look at us in disgust
You know the reality and it's time to adjust
Think to yourself, don't be foolish about it
Fix up your brain or you'll be the target
A black man and a white woman living together
Face the facts all fascist perpetrators.
And as the world is getting smaller ans smaller
We can only be getting closer and closer
Building this community of sound
Celebrating the unity we've found
And we know this is the model to follow
For all the dub children of tomorrow
As they grow under shifting skies
We'll see every nation in their eyes
Black and white here has united
We're here to show you how we've been delighted
Black and white here has united
Building this community of sound.

2. _ Dub Mentality
Dub is the place we come to argue and debate
It isn't just a backdrop for our herbal intake
And in this time we fill the space with noise
Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid
We're raising our voices to reflect our reality
Using dub as our foundation
'Cos we've got dub mentality.
Listen to the sound of the drum and the bass
Different communities meet up in the same place
We are mixing the flavour to suit every taste
This music have de power for all of the human race.
Dub is the teacher
Jungle is the preacher
Dub education through de jungle a go reach ya.
Cut and splice and regeneration
Militant mix and equalisation
These are the methods for a serious operation
Pushing back the borders of your musical civilisation
So listen without prejudice and without delay
To the sound of the Asian Dub Foundation today.....
And in this time we fill the space with noise
Black noise will be a sound you can't avoid .....

4. _ Change
Look through the square or round window
Now a change a gonna come
Whether you come by bus or underground
Still a change a gonna come
If you're north or if you're south
You know a change a gonna come
Whether by fax or word of mouth
Still a change a gonna come.
Meters peaking
Truth is leaking out into the sticks
Too late now no turning back now
'Cos the switches have been flicked
Goalposts moving
Signposts pointing you the wrong way
They're screwing up
You're queuing up
Come back another day.
If you're old or if you're young
You know a change a gonna come
No matter where you come from
What colour - black, white or brown
Government man plan
Mash up in a Britain
Criminal Justice Bill me bawl
Where them get it from?
Them can't understand
Just want to build up tension
But just watch the future
'Cos a change a gonna come
ADF is here to show you how it should be done
And we know that this style is identical to none!
Yeah!
Bureaucrat, democrat, fatcat
Too long they've had their way
A breeze of sleaze coming to blow them away
Satellites crashing down on India
We say no way
ADF broadcasting
we no ramp we no play.
We get madddddddd.....
What them a say
What them a chat 'bout
This is reality man
You can't run ADF out.
What them a do what them a talk 'bout
All of the politician run up on your mouth
Man you give me joke.....

5. _ Naxalite
Brothers and sisters of the soul unite
We are one, indivisible and strong
They may try to break us
But they dare not underestimate us
They know our memories are long
A mass of sleeping villages
That's how they're pitching it
At least that's what they try to pretend
But check out our history
So rich and revolutionary
A prophecy
That we will rise again!
Like springing tigers
We encircle the cities
To the future we will take an oath
High up in the mountains
Deep in the forest
Our home is the undergrowth.
And we must never give up
Until the land is ours
No never give in
'Til we have taken the power.
Because, I am just a Naxalite Warrior
Fighting for survival and equality
Policeman beating up me, my brother and my father
My mother crying 'can't believe this reality'
Iron like a lion from Zion
This one going out to all youth, man and woman
Original Master 'D' 'pon the microphone stand
Cater for no sceptical man me don't give a damn!
'Cos me a Naxalite Warrior.....

6. _ Buzzin'
Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman
This here's the miracle of modern creation
So we say jump up, jump up because you know we're buzzing
Any time we come i say we shock and a sting
Yeah, jump up, jump up because you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
Get up, get up come and do something
Like a fly in the sky forever working
I know we shock and we sting anytime we come we getup, getup
This is the miracle of modern creation
We come out of the tunnel not twisted or bitter
Approach the future with a sound that is fitter
Equipping our minds to deal with every situation
This here's the miracle of modern creation
Abandon all your first impressions
Come and take part in this conscious session
Look to the past to get inspiration
Move yourselves forward with the dub accelaration
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
You now see i ain't standing still
Just watch me now i've got a lifetime to fill
'cos i'm buzzing
Yeah jump up, jump up cos you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
We come so far so fast laying down foundations
Paving the way for the next generation
What we deal with millenium training
Come jump aboard now there's enough time remaining
Been checking the roots so we know where we are going
Time we were reaping for the years we've been sowing
All across europe collecting like minded
Not here to misguide or be divided
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
Drums and bass
Junglist massive
Jump up, jump up cos you know we are buzzing
Any time we come we shock and we sting
Get up, get up, get up and do something
Like a fly in the sky forever working
Chandrasonic you're mmmmmmmmmmad
Chandrasonic you're mmmmmmmmmmad
Can't live my life with no rhythm or rhyme
Done enough chilling got to organise my time
No sense in standing still
Just watch me now i've got a lifetime to fill

Yeah come with me come with me
Jump up, jump up
'cos you know we're buzzing
Any time we come we shock and sting
Any time we come we a shock and sting
We come out the tunnel not twisted nor bitter.

7. _ Free Satpal Ram
The scales of justice
Weighed down on one side
Freemassons on the case
You know you're gonna get a rough ride
Hold tight, even if you know your rights
It's just a piece of paper unless you're prepared to fight
For ten years, one hell of a long time to rot in a cell
When you've committed no crime
Another innocent man forced to carry the can
Free Satpal Ram!
Whose word against who?
The degenerate crew out on the town
Thought they had something to prove
Self defence is no offence
Had to protect himself from the murderous fools
Cutting remarks on account of his race
A plate to the chest and a glass in his face
An Asian fights back
Can't afford to be meek
With your back against the wall
You can't turn the other cheek.
Back away all you trouble makers
Fix up your brains 'cos you're the biggest fakers
You come in the place
Do you know who you are?
Free Satpal Ram!
Satpal Ram has been in prison for 10 years now, unjustly convicted of murder. He was attacked in a restaurant in Birmingham by six racists. Having been glassed in the face he had no choice but to def
end himself. One of the attackers got injured and later died after refusing treatment. Satpal was subsequently charged with murder.
Satpal was provided with lawyers who refused to argue his case. They made him change his plea of self-defence to that of manslaughter. Most of the prosecution evidence came from the group that attack
ed Satpal.
The all-white jury missed vital evidence because no interpreter was provided. The judge said he would interpret but couldn't speak a word of Bengali.
The jury weren't asked to consider if Satpal's actions were in self-defence and found him guilty.
It's taken ten years to get the Criminal Justice System to allow any appeal.
Enough is Enough!

8. _ Assassin
Mohammed Singh Azad
Zindabad
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The Sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
My act of revenge is just a part of the struggle.
A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead
But it'll lift the spirit of my people!
We'll keep on fighting
We've been a nation abused
Your stiff upper lip will bleed
And your pride will be bruised.
No apologies
Not a shot in the dark
This is a warning
The Sleeping tiger awakes each and every morning.
We'ill keep on fighting
We've been a nation abused
Your stiff upper lip will bleed
And your pride will be bruised
The time is now right to burst the imperial bubble
And my act of revenge is just a part of the struggle.
Synchronise time
Vengeance will be mine
As I cross the curzon line into his mind
I will burn the trophies he owns
Symbols of a future postponed.
Mohammed Singh Azad
Zindabad!
A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead
But it'll lift the spirit of my people!
A bullet to his head won't bring back the dead
But it'll lift the spirit of my people!
I'll shake hands with the hangman
I'll wear the noose with pride
For unlike the British I've no crimes to justify
Pentonville will be my last place on earth
And death will return me to the land of my birth.

10. _ Operation Eagle Lie
Lies!
Damn lies and statistics
Fitting up and stitching up
Down at ballistics
The back of the van
It ain't used for seating
Just check through the window
The youth them get a beating.
Meet P.C. P.R. the designer policeman
Putting up a smokescreen with his multi-coloured truncheon
Shake a few bad apples off the long arm of the law
But he knows and we know that it's rotten to the core.
Black man on a double yellow -
He's a criminal
A racial attack -
Investigation minimal
You'll always find us on the end of a baton
When the black meets the blue
You know who's getting spat on
Now I'm giving to you and I am driving into you
The truth
No number crunching
It's just your mind that we're mugging
ADF taking them on at I-SPY
Watching them watching us
Operation Eagle Lie.
Unity is strength and strength is unity
IC1, IC2 and also IC3
Altogether we can defend all of the community
One people, all nations
Fi reach their destiny
Before the Devil Man used to use the truncheon
To kill the Black Man is still his dream ambition
Now they have SWAT Batons and CCTV
For unusual people - just like you and me
Young Sisters and Brothers dying from heart attacks
But how can we breathe when the Beast is on our back
CS gas in your lungs, eyes and your mouth
Just another police murder without a doubt.
CPS is the Piggy's alibi
None of them are ever prepared to be the fall guy
ADF taking them on at I-Spy
Whatching them watching us
Operation Eagle Lie.

11. _ Culture Move
This collaboration herewith is no ego trip
We no bring no badness, no fuss or fighting with it
Educational - why don't you keep up with this
Time to pay atention to the conscious lyrics
What them a do man a what them a chat 'bout
The youth them after nine o'clock can't stay out
Government man him a just a run up on his mouth
Hear! What him a say will happen without a doubt
Cannot think for himself, copy the American
To build up the tension bring the idea to Britain
Now! When the law is done he'll have his satisfaction
Then it will be for life for all human - youth, man and woman.
(Navigator)
Kingdom against kingdom
Nation against nation
Time we are living in, it's called revelation
'Cause when you take stock of the whole situation
The elders them a poison the younger generation
Instead of them trying to build a firm foundation
Them a bring human beings down to pure degredation
With chemical warfare and nuclear weapons
Starvation, sufferation, dehumanisation
The world population have to take precautions
From pollution, corruption, infection, deception
Politicians claim that they got the solution
But deep in their hearts they have a wicked intention
To rinse out poor people with tax and inflation
Segregating the massive, separating the nation
You think a so it goes
Why don't you answer my question
You'd better watch yourself
Before them turn you a madman.
This one is for all microphone entertainers
You have the tool, have the talent to be an educator
Stop the slackness and come an tell them proper
Encourage the massive to become their own creator
Because in this time you have to understand
That the government man is gonna try and mash up man plan
So direct the crowd and give them navigation
Believe me you'll get a wicked reaction.
Sound of the culture 'pon a the move
You've got to be conscious in every thing that you do.....

12. _ Hypocrite
[CHORUS] [X2]
We will get inside your mind
You will pay for your crimes
We will bleed you dry
Your pockets will be empty
But you won't know why.
Redistribution is the name of the game
All the cash that you stash man
We're gonna give away
Lizard man beware
This is the digital underclass
Coming from places you've only seen from your car
Accountant, lawyer, financial adviser
PR Consultant, journalist, advertiser
We know your game
And you think that we're playing it
But when the bill comes through the door
You're gonna be paying it!
[CHORUS X2]
The word is community
We shout it with impunity
It's so uncool
It's incendiary
No slogans
No soundbites
But a long term plan
Teaching is the framework
Building chains of command
So when the Lizard Man sticks out his tongue
We pull out our scissors and do a hit and run.
This is the digital underclass.....
