This is Ska Vengers Don’t come against us Kick up the rumpus The belly of the beast it is my home King of the jungle I sit on my throne Represent for the black and the brown The thin and the slim and the fat and the round You could never understand my psyche Don’t like Reebok I don’t like Nike We don’t walk on the moon with whitey Only walk with the almighty They keep on troubling me Should I be down with PWG? Azad and Kishenji? We struggle we struggle you see? Framed like Soni Sori They do this frequently They trap you legally or kill you in custody This is Ska Vengers Don’t come against us Kick up the rumpus Touch no chemicals I keep it home grown Drink the concoction - Ginger compound Don’t work in a Special Economical Zone Fling stones against American predator drones We roam, Like the guns of Navarone Who made the whole world disaster prone Strike like lightning earthquake and cyclone My sound will mash up flesh Break up bone This is Ska Vengers Don’t come against us Kick up the rumpus

Frank Brazil 03:42
India, travel to Africa Africa, travel to America America link the Gaddar Party Try and do things far away form home One day, travel down to Germany Italy, France and onto Switzerland 1934 I reach England And get ready for assassination Judge won’t you hear my plea? Before you open up the court I don’t care If I spend 99 years in jail Or you send me to the electric chair Travel the planet and endure some hardship Walk the path to meifumado ready to endure hardship Pan patrol stroll intro my target One question before we get started You know what a one way ticket to the morgue is? Body bags stacked up in cold storage Crush my culture and said it was garbage Rule by the cruel rule of the free market Ask some cracker grandpa what a cat o’ nine tail scar is Judge won’t you hear my plea? Before you open up the court I don’t care If I spend 99 years in jail Or you send me to the electric chair Now we combust Bredrin stay focused and conscious Company rule is so unjust Feel the tension of my ancestors in my muscle fibre and now I'm ready to crush Shot him with my 6 chamber Zetland by his side Stood there looking at him While he wallowed down and died Now I'm on my journey to a Brixton prison cell Tell the judge and jury that I did my time well Judge, judge, Lordy judge Send me to the electric chair Burn burn

This is dedicated to all the freedom fighter All the fallen soldiers – rest in peace All Maroon People Army Bhagat Singh Shaheed – rest in peace Chandra Shekhar Azad and Kishenji It’s just a terrible terrible thing We can’t begin imagining Unno better move slow Guns on their hips and get ready to blow But oh no! It’s just a terrible terrible thing We can’t begin imagining Unno better move slow Guns on their hips and get ready to blow The whole of them try to bury us in violence It’s like them gwaan mad and have the license To leave us in a silence My people please draw together, you know we need some guidance Chains upon my ankle So I only walk slow Police they come to trample Anger started to grow I said back away Devil go go go Try to make examples Gotta let my people know I said oh oh Azad killing was a murder I said oh oh Kishenji killing was a murder They take me away in the middle of the night Eyes blind folded, No rescue in sight Want to run run away or put up a fight I know I wont survive to see the morning light Azad Killing was a murder Kishenji killing was a murder Big up all of the elder Like Bhagat Singh the martyr Politicians tell lies to get elected Next thing she turned the guns on them Double crossed cuz she had a double intention Trust us? Trust nothing from them When you see say them have an ulterior motive So you know we don’t trust parliament It’s plain to see that it’s a business for them So you know we bon di fire pan them In twenty-twelve the defence budget raise by one point seven four lak crore That don’t spell peace, that spells war That don’t spell peace, that spell war What do they get all these German guns them for? What they get all the American guns them for What do they get Israeli guns them for? That don’t spell peace that spell war I’m standing, I won’t run away They’re dividing, I won’t run away I’m fighting only way that I know I’m standing, I won’t run away

Shut your mouth, stop talkin’ to me Shut your mouth, stop talkin to me Don’t ask why you ain’t gotta please Sometimes, silence can be satisfactory Mama don't want to know Why you ain’t big like your Daddy so I don't care where you come from though You little boys with your big egos Shut your mouth, stop talkin’ to me Shut your mouth, stop talkin’ to me Two cents fine, don’t mean I want three Shut your mouth, boy you liar-liability I don’t care for what you’re imposing What kind of business you’re poking your nose in Mama don't want to know Mama don't want to know Why you ain’t big like your Daddy so I don’t care where you come from though If you profile and pose I stab your brain with your nose bone Feed you to the crows

They have RAW they have IB They watch us from CCTV But you know we have our own intelligence You know we have our own intelligence They have RAW, CIA and Scotland Yard FBI and the one Mosad We larger than we broader than we larger than broad And if a sound try test we go bust that apart The phone ring “Say who is it” ? Delhi Sultanate come ready fi a visit 011 is a New Delhi digit So the feds them tap my phone Them all a puzzle and a quiz it I will go into the jungle If they push me to the limit Run with comrades You know we never timid Fish ina sea when I dress up in a civic And I get intelligence every hour every minute You done know You see we are the menace Test my culture and it never replenish Beginning of the end, start of the finish Test my sound you get demolish and diminish They have RAW they have IB They watch us from CCTV But you know we have our own intelligence You know we have our own intelligence They have RAW.hgbj CIA and Scotland Yard FBI and the one Mosad We larger than we broader then we larger than broad Informer we go bust that apart Boom wah this Boom wah that? Test my culture leave nothing intact Plus their culture has a negative impact So I say hands up and everything drop Some youths take pop guns and file the pin back I dip my pen deep down into the ink pot I link my bedrin and him a link back I link my sistrin and she a link back Say their media is not my intelligence Newspaper is not my intelligence Ambani controls the news intelligence Don’t trust them a no mi intelligence Intelligent friends are my intelligence Real people that is my intelligence Say sound system – that is my intelligence Stone Love – that is my intelligence Killamanjaro – that is my intelligence Kingston 12 – intelligence Gaddar – that is my intelligence Kabir Kala Manch - that is my intelligence Intelligent friends – that is my intelligence

Jail Mein 06:19
Jail Mein Jail Mein Tihar Jail Mein Central Jail Mein Makhi gira garam tel mein Tihar Jail Mein Central Jail Mein Rehena parega Tihar Jail mein Central Jail mein Jail Mein This place is full of half time crooks Nuff little boys with a wicked man look Nuff innocent man weh mistook And nuff half time crooks who really feel shook Then you have some politician and hardened criminal Separate ward for political prisoners Life is sour like vinegar The judge will come sign my fate Seal it off with the signature Then they locked us down ina the Andamans And ina Kala Pani Devil’s island What do they want from me? Nuff innocent man caught up ina jail But you know we must prevail But you know we must prevail Media blackout ina government crack down Who pass the order Right from the top down FTII lock down Hyderabad lock down JNU lock down Knowledge is lock down On the run from goons and cops now RSS want to draw some blood now Run the streets avenues and blocks now Violence must stop The violence must stop now

I’m tied to you Stop tugging on my cord I’m dying to Find my release My time is here now To move on, on my journey But my feet They don’t feel free Stop your tugging on my chord I’m tied to you But you turned me loose Oh I seem to have forgotten And I look to you to show me Show me the way We don’t nurse Pet and pamper Corporations backed by war tanker Like Anil Agarwal and Vedanta Answer? Wipe out vampires and monster Cowboys police like bonanza Now they call me Maoist like Mamata Microphone is not a ratatatatatan tanta But Chidambaram is the real war monger Tamper truth and sponsor cancer Hype up - the whole of them need a damper Kill us like they killed the tigers down in Sri Lanka Man a blood claat Indian Black Panther Green Gold Red like Santa Man a warrior from the days of my grandpa Pramoediya Ananta a Indonesia Indian Black Kings down in a Janjira Hanibal raise Rome and conquer Caesar Columbus bring us into the darkest era I don’t like the type again Melanin ina mi blood them try fight again I love it when the dance get hype again Nostalgic for them kinds of vibes again With the big bassline and a mic again Mr bassie come play a bassline again Im tied to you But you turned me lose Oh I seem to have forgotten And I look to you to show me Show me the way
