Strong Culture Lyrics - Asian Dub Foundation

I grab the mic to commence with the mic check 

Supply rhymes, man you've never heard yet 

You never thought an Asian could do this 

Well, you're wrong, wrong again hardcore 

That's what I wanna be 

All over the white world yes, they'll remember me 

Don't look at me as an innocent bystander 

Because I'll scare you after dark 

[Unverified] 

Paki bashing that's what I call fucking racism 

And you can tell I'm a fucking Paki lover 

Day to day, night to night 

Persecution with a capital P, racism with a capital R 

Man I've seen your scar 

I've seen your scar 

You expect me to sympathize, the hell no 

You don't know the price that we're paying 

[Unverified] 

What you see is no mirage 

Asian guys and girls comin' large 

Straight from the East tough 

And coming like a beast 

Guys who are very keen and showing ability 

Tranquility, we have the audacity 

Speaking out 

'Cos there's no doubt about that 

Another critical rhyme make you wanna look 

Observe it, it's like a comic book 

Coming from the place with the capital B 

I'll let you guess, no let me tell you 

The B and the A and the N and the G and the L and the A 

With a word called Desh sums up the country 

The word and the place called Bangladesh 

So you never contest 

Yes, you thought I couldn't do it 

I'm not a Black man this time it's an Asian 

Some fear the white man 

Some fear the Ku Klux Klan 

But they ain't up to no good 

Brother brother, sister sister 

Yes, if your miss or if your mister 

Listen to this rap, it's Asian guys coming correct 

Way back in the sixties our fathers, our mothers 

They suffered a lot for us 

They couldn't say much 

They couldn't do much 'cos of the fear of getting beat up 

But now it's the nineties 

We're not babies no more 

You know the score 

That we live for 

Our fathers, our mothers they brought us up to be tough 

We don't stand for any bullshit, we don't give a damn 

Even if you're Superman 

Strong culture is what you see in our eyes 

Not just tough guys
