Letra
Shock, black double down-beat bouncin'
Rock-wize tumble doun sound music
Foot drop, find drum blood story
bass his’try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
Thunder from a bass drum soundin'
Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ
Bass and rythm and trumpet double up Keep up with drums for a deep pound searchin'
Ridim of a tropical, electrical storm
Cool doun to de base of struggle
Flame ridim of historical yearnin'
Flame ridim of de time of turnin'
Measurin' de time for bombs and for burnin'
Slo' drop, make stop, move forward
Dig doun to de root of pain
Shape it into violence for de people
They will know what to do, they will do it
Tradução da letra
Shock, Black double down-beat bounin'
Rock-wize tumble Doun sound music
Queda de pés, encontrar a história de sangue de tambor
bass his 'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin ' black story
Thunder from a bass drum soundin'
A clarear de uma trombeta e de um órgão
Baixo, ritmo e trompete dobram-se, acompanhem os tambores para uma busca profunda
Tempestade elétrica tropical Radim
Cool doun to de base of struggle
Flame ridim of historical yearnin'
Flame ridim of de time of turnin'
Está na hora das bombas e do fogo
Slo ' drop, make stop, move forward
Cava doun à raiz da dor
Moldá-lo em violência para as pessoas
Eles vão saber o que fazer, eles vão fazê-lo
