Handsworth Revolution - BBC Session, London / 1978

de 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 talking 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
Handsworth revolution
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 we 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 with the power
Of Jah creator
We will get stronger
And we will conquer
And forward ever, and backward
Never revolution
