For the consciousness of the nation

The sounds of the asian dub foundation:



The music we make it cuts across borders

We never make music to someone else's orders

Plenty of issues on the agenda

If you want to lend a helping hand

You're always told to shut up and dance

But you have to change this-take a chance

Turn the tables,

We know you're able

Don't just consume

Make your own tune.



The music, we use it

We're making a stand

I wouldn't call this a green and pleasant land

A conscious response is what we demand

Challenge the system and those in command

Express your opinion

It's your domain

If you fail to do this you are partly to blame

My heart is beating

No retreat

The battle continues

We'll suffer no defeat

This war you've been waging

It's time we were raging

In our minds and on the streets

Sample this it's an education

The sounds of the asian dub foundation



Look around you, yeah

Open your mind

Check it out, tell me what you find

Here to document a situation

The sounds of the asian dub foundation

Hope and glory

A myth of the tories

We're here to tell you a different story



Here to readress the situation

The sounds of the asian dub foundation



A rapper i may be but packaged i'm not

I'll slip through the noose before you tie the knot

This work in progress not slick but rough

Breaking all records twelve inches ain't enough

Sample this

It's an education

The sounds of the original, the original ....



We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic

The only 'e' we use is electric

An asian background that's what's reflected

But this millitant vibe ain't what you expected

With your liberal minds you patronise our culture

Scanning the surface like vultures

With your tourist mentality

We're still the natives

You multicultural but we're anti-racist

We ain't ethnic, exotic or eclectic

The only 'e' we use is electric



And we cry

Them coulda never escape

Disya judgement ......
