Windrush Baby

Lyrics

[Intro] Yo [Verse 1] Catastrophic year Stuck in a backward gear And I need a little angst of life, yeah The scaremongers scare And from among us tear Families from left to right I got a finger here next to my index spare And I use it just to speak me mind, yo I'm just a windrush, baby No time for complaining So meet on the streets at night [Pre-Chorus] What do you mean? I like my cigarette with a bit weed, heavenly I need to dance, I need to cheer 'Ave a laugh and persevere Just meet me on the streets at night [Chorus] I'm just a windrush, baby With little bits of crazy Alive just to have a good time, yeah Whatever you need, facilitate it Whatever your stimulations No need to think twice or hide I'm just a windrush, baby With little bits of crazy Alive just to have a good time, yeah Whatever you need, facilitate it Whatever your stimulations No need to think twice or hide [Verse 2] Seventeen Mummy came over from the Caribbean What a being Went university, faced with adversity But hit the shubeen just to ease the time You know what I mean? Yeah Now the love is gone from the street Can you not see it? Just leave it to the windrush, baby It's time we reclaim it So meet me in the streets at night [Interlude] [?] [Chorus] I'm just a windrush, baby With little bits of crazy Alive just to have a good time, yeah Whatever you need, facilitate it Whatever your stimulations No need to think twice or hide I'm just a windrush, baby With little bits of crazy Alive just to have a good time, yeah Whatever you need, facilitate it Whatever your stimulations No need to think twice or hide [Outro] Coming to Britain from Jamaica was not easy for me As far as I was concerned, British blacks were lost souls So what kept me going and what is really important is the values taught to me by my grandmother But I hope one day you will get those values because you haven't got them yet Some of the things you do still show to me that you haven't got those values that my grandmother Passed on And that is what is happening to the Black community We have let go of the very strong values that we used to have
