Dances of Resistance

See di yout' dem a chant an' prance Dem a ready to play dis dance Running from the hill like a burning lance To the valley of abundance So many voices on the same riddim Singing louder than the sound system So many colors comin' out of concrete Come we go downtown, come we go shout on mainstreet Push! Push! Fi give justice a chance Push! Push! Fi mek turn di balance See dem are scornin' on that movement Dem think we don' t know the rules we just can' t understand But we know We are firm an' confident We know for which battle we stand Dem will not deceive us again with false pretence Get outta control get outta control Stop that rain this is self-defense Get outta control get outta control Get outta control get outta control Push!
