Times Like These

Lyrics

[Intro] One civilization is not complete without it's art The highest form of expression of human intelligence You have have become complacent Sitting down and allowing the other nations to run away with everything You have become a bunch of consumers You are creators Rise up mighty people and accomplish what you will Without confidence you're twice defeated in the race of life [Verse 1] They took away the voices, that gave the people pride Now we're plunging into darkness We all have to play our part, make a bold start Every disc jock, and every artist Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness How so much alcohol in our parties? While the girls a broke out And the something weh she drink knock her out Now she doesn't care where they prop her up [Chorus] It's times like these I'm missing our heroes Times like these i really wish they were around Shouldn't have to be like this Marcus Garvey We know say you try your best, but we haffi go do the rest [Verse 2] They breed up the shotta dem, now we have a lot of dem Prison pack up, now the grave dem a go back up then The broke the national bird wing Sell we out clean Me no think we own a god damn thing Jamrock, why we giving in to the trick wha' dem a trick we from the beginning? Parents, you need fi wake up from the slumbering It's we children blood dem is running [Chorus] It's times like these I'm missing our heroes Times like these I really wish they were around Shouldn't have to be like this Bob Marley We know you never die in vain We're gonna rise again Hey [Verse 3] People use the fist hold the bell Beat promise 'til it swell Nobody nah go hear if you no yell Listen wha' dem tell you 'bout the bucket weh go well Black woman, put on your baggie da something deh no fi sell A so we get fi know say society a go hell Go ask dem a who put the crab inna barrel PM, opposition, unuh done with the quarrel Unite, come together, teach the people how fi chill [Chorus] It's times like these I'm missing our heroes Times like these i really wish they were around Shouldn't have to be like this Oh Miss Lou, we need you A the first me heard of this Hundreds and counting on the murder list a do this [Verse 4] They took away the voices, that gave the people pride Now we're plunging into darkness We all have to play our part, make a bold start Every disc jock, and every artist Media houses, we notice you love support the slackness How so much alcohol in our parties?
