Handsworth Revolution Lyrics - Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse

I say the people of Handsworth, know that 

One hand wash the other so they say 

So let's join hands my bredren 

Make the way for our children (our children, our children) 

And their children (their children, their children) 

Ensuring that they get life's fair share of... 

Equality... 

Doesn't justice stand for all 

Doesn't justice stand for all 

Doesn't justice stand for all mankind 

We find society putting us down 

Crowning us, crowning us, crowning us, crowning us 

A place of Evil, OH, OH 

Handsworth means us the Black People 

Handsworth means us the Black People 

We're taiklng now. Speaking Jah Jah language! 

It's a long, long way we're coming from 

To send this message across, across 

Its been hidden, forbidden, concealed, unrevealed 

Its got to come out In the open that - 

BABYLON IS FALLING 

BABYLON IS FALLING 

It was foolish to build It on the sand 

Handsworth shall stand, firm - like Jah rock 

- fighting back 

We once beggars are now choosers 

No intention to be losers 

Striving forward with ambition 

And if it takes ammunition 

We rebel in Handsworth revolution 

Dread town, dread town, dread town, 

Dread town, dread town, dread town, 

Dread we are for a cause 

Deprived of many things 

Experienced phoney laws 

Hatred Babylon brings 

We know what you've got to offer 

We know what's going on 

Don't want no favours 

Cause there is still hunger 

Innocent convicted 

Poor wage, hard labour 

Only Babylon prospers 

And humble suffer 

They are brothers in south of Africa 

One Black represent all, all over the world 

Can't bear it no longer 

Blessed wlththe power 

Of Jah Creator 

We will get stronger 

And we will conquer 

And forward ever, and backward never
