Chubb Rock What's The Word
[Minister Farrakhan] Mr. Bush, you better check out your OWN part in the divine drama. You may find YOU the Devil! [Chubb Rock] Listen.. cause in 1990 Chubb Rock and the gang is on a banned mission Hostility will rule like a Jamaican ?? and ooh filled with dumplings, hopefully no dumpings like guns will be present while I keep the people jumpin Not too much, South Africa isn't free yet I spoke to the kids from Brooklyn to T-Neck New Jersey, and they heard me while I cursed the white minority regime, painted an ill scene Brothers and sisters over there dyin Mandela in a cell in Robin Island Thank God he's out now - and while I sing I know he has things in a full swing, yeah This year crumb-snatcher Thatcher, we're gonna catch her being a klutz, her husband is a drunk putz He acts absurd, now what's the word? "Johannesburg!" (2X) "Okay okay, come on." (6X) "If he's the President, pullin out my Ray-Gun" -> Chuck D [Chubb Rock] Listen.. cause brothers and sisters it's time for everyone to go fishin for your history - open a book and read between the lines, don't recline your mind Sometimes I don't know how to make it understood that a lot of black movies have been tampered by Hollywood So it's important take the name and date and step Research it yourself, cause you owe a large debt to yourself - your history is yours to keep .. or you won't reap in the benefits, don't let Mr. Rabinuwitz sell you something with a sing, to get blissed Leave the rock to the Nazis, excel in Yahtzee Be a bookworm, not a bookend, cause men before you have died so you can taste freedom If we can't beat em we'll delete em, so now What's the word? "Johannesburg!" (2X) "Okay okay, come on." (9X) "If he's the President, pullin out my Ray-Gun" -> Chuck D [Chubb Rock] Throughout history, no physical might has ever crushed the invincible spirit of a nation And yes we are a nation, a different coloration But that isn't significant - pull a ligament while you're standin, pumpin your fist they will miss and crumble and remain in the cold abyss And now it's time for action, action is the verb The pronoun I will say scream "What's the word?" Now come on.. what's the word?! Alright.. I'm gonna bring in the aspect of my man Rob-n-O, the Jamaica aspect, come now [Rob O - patois best guess] I'm a soldier, I'm a soldier I'm gonna chase up ?? and run down Botha Botha betta run him betta start ?? I mash up ?? when he conquer Your gun gonna fire, come fatter Say it to the sky like a ball of fiyah Jah come foot rule over ?? Gun gonna fire.. .. I'm a soldier [Chubb Rock] Alright.. time for the American, english aspect from my man Rob Swinga - come now [Rob Swinga] Yo.. I wonder why is it that in Africa the black people are the 2nd and 3rd class citizens? I mean I thought Africa was black Isn't that what they told us in our own history books in America? I mean yo it's something to think about! They gonna tell me I'm black and I'm from Africa yet still somebody's tellin me I have no right to say what goes on there I mean I can't understand that at all! That's something to really make you stop and think and say.. hmmmmmmm!
