Role Model Lyrics - Steel Pulse

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem chopping down our role models 

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem a cutting down our role models 

'Cause every single time we make a stance now, yeah 

They always try their very best to catch us with our pants down, woe 

Want to smear our name and denounce our fame 

It's a crying shame, hatred still remains 

I'm charging dem rascals for libel and slander, oh 

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem chopping down our role models 

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem a cutting down our role models 

Check your plots and schemes in your game shows 

To turn our heroes into zeroes, know your tricks and deeds 

Want to kill the seeds that we plant and grow 

Why you stoop so low? 

I'm charging them rascals for libel and slander, oh 

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem chopping down our role models 

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle 

Dem a cutting down our role models 

Listen to the thing that I'm about to confess 

I hate and I despise and I deplore and detest 

The tabloids and newspapers better known as the press 

And so much propaganda that it leads to distress 

Magic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, boom you're the best 

Advice to Micheal Jackson, keep your cards to your chest 

Mr. Iron Mike Tyson always under arrest 

And vote fi Jesse Jackson, him a next president 

The plight of OJ Simpson caused a civil unrest 

Police beat up Rodney King until his face was a mess 

Defend yourself by any means and Malcolm say yes 

I dare a man to ever curse a who Jah Jah bless 

The mind is a terrible thing to waste 

Dem just a mud up, mud up 

Blood up, blood up [unverified] 

Up ye mighty race 

And wipe the dirt from your face 

Never ever fall from grace 

The mind is a terrible thing to waste 

The mind is a terrible thing to waste 

In dis ya struggle 

Our role models
