DOG-TRIBE (Lyrics:Uddin/Watts Music:Qureshi/Watts)
What's the thing that makes a Black man insane?
Deranged and wanna give a man pain?
Practicalities, similarities, immoralities of what you call a
racist dream.
Skin-headed warrior fightin' for a country, killing black
children, burnin' Bengalis. Enough is enough.
Ah...people say I've gone and lost my mind 'cause I'm not
afraid to die 'gee.'
Chorus
The dogtribe seeks the skin and puts them in a pound, retaliate
and you'll be six feet underground, pushin' up daisies,
'cause the devil sent you to tame me but you can't face me.
You see I grips mikes, wrex mikes, condition my mind to
finally come to terms,
Anyway wake up, wake up c'c'cos I'm on a self defense vibe,
never down but always down with the tribe.
Chorus
People wonder why I'm positioned by the window
Ammunition close to the hand though
looking like the man brothe Malcom
If I can't reason, time for some action, you must hear
me though, even thought they don't know,
don't ask for violence, just self defense
I'm on a Romper Stomper agenda vice versa
I'm the brown one, my brother Nubian,
Followin' the ways of the days of the Nazi's,
Listen coniving haramzada
Chorus
There comes a time when enough is enough,
Afro Caribbeans, Asians together is tuff
our defense is on attack, minds are made up,
Bodies are fightin' back. Self defense is no offense
And we're ready, ready for a collision with the opposition
It won't be a suicide mission, and one thing about me, I'm
not afraid to die 'gee'
And after me there will always be another brother
Chorus Out
 
SIEZE THE TIME (Lyrics:Webb Music:Qureshi)
BAM my heart beats like thunder
Is it any wonder as I get older
I get a bigger chip on my shoulder
Setting off bombs, letting off bombs
Stop the world cause we're living like slaves
God only knows how I've been managing
Look at me now, I've got them panicking
Blood'll be dripping from these headless chickens
This is the world of greed like it never was
We've had enough, it's time to get tough
Look who's afraid, not me or mine
But the devils that worked us in the sunshine
They don't like anybody like me
X was in the X, Luther King was next
But they're only two from millions
My people been treated like aliens
Los Angeles was just a rehearsal
First we're looting, next we'll be shooting
Here comes another Huey P. Newton
Making them angry 'cause they can't ban me
I can still hear those slave drums beating
I can still taste the dirt I've been eating
I'm confused in a world of confusion
And mass hysteria in every damn area
Just take a look at what's been missing
Then ask me why I'm setting off ammunition
We've got to re-educate our brains
To make sure that shit don't happen again
Let's go crazy, make 'em all sweat
Giving as good as we're bound to soon get
I get perrmission from the gods up above
They're teaching me hatred, ain't the way to love
MERA MAZAB (Lyrics:Uddin Music:Qureshi)
I call you, I call you to come and hear me
You think I'm insane but check the story
Close your eyes and try to picture the reality
And then tell me what you see
Media brainwash of the tender ones
You teach us to kill one another and watch the fun
Society killing the essence of purity
The sun is gone, only clouds around the city
I was born a Muslim, and I'm still livin' as a Muslim
My spirituality determines reality
You're running after false gods forgettin'the true one
Great teachers were sent to warn us
But you reject and claim intellect
Yet are children are killed, lotta blood being spilled
Massacre in the Mosque, suicidal frame of mind
Take a look, can't you see, look at Palestine
The devil operating through the media
Morality replaced with hysteria
You say money is everything and money makes the world go
Down, down, down
Qullh uallahu ahadh
You go for yours cos I'm in Jihad
Allahusamad
There is no other way for me but Islam
Lamiah allidh, wu lamiah ullahd
Fool don't bother me wid no immorality
Walamiah qullahu kufhuan ahad
There is no other way brother, Allah uh akbar
To non believers, what the heck, we're on a check
The plots of the wicked end in shame
Soon I'll be comin' around the mountain
with my Islamic warriors
Nubians wid Jihad in my mind
So seek and you shall find the time
Subhanallah, al hamdhu lilah to my leader
Abuse, refuse to acknowledge the truth
You say Islam, and it's sexism
But you're blind, when it comes to global masochism
There's hesitance when you gotta see the essence
Of where I'm coming from, I know, I see
I learn and tried to learn from you
But my spirituality determines reality
Determines reality
Allah uh akbar
Allah uh akbar
Allah uh akbar
My spirituality determines reality
I can't take it no more, and never was a happy man
I can't take it no more, and never was a happy man
I can't take it no more, and never was a happy man
I said Allah uh akbar
Allah uh akbar
Allah uh akbar
PRESIDENT PROPAGANDA (Lyrics: Webb/Uddin Music:Qureshi)
Ships and whips came coming in tons
I saw some guns and Indian drums
Now here comes the Klan but where's Farakan
They got a plan, I see who they be
There are crooks who write their own books
Changing the pages of lone gone ages
I know what happened I read between the lines of chapters
Watch out now we're comin' at ya!
I'm a soldier in the name of Allah
So put down the cross and pick up the "X"
Do you know where you're goin' to
Do you know where you're comin' from
You're scared of the sun, I live in the sun
1995, Elijah is alive
Louis Farakan, the Nation of Islam
That's where I got my degree from
So watch out now I'm comin' at ya
Scripted events of how the world went
Changing the world with a quill full of ink
But think for a second, don't you reckon it's true
They lied about me, they lied about you
Changing the way children are taught
The public opinion paid for and bought
I know what happened, I read between the lines of chapters
Watch out now I'm comin' at ya!
Don't call me a chicken because I'm a panther
Lyrical gangster and the tormentor
Listen to me hard, don't turn away you know why
I'm comin' at ya!
Fearing my words like a Dracula movie
That's why the powers that be try to move me
I know what happened, I read between the lines of chapters
Watch out now, I'm comin' at ya!
Back in the days of the slave ships
You had us whipped, raped and lynched
Took away the Quran, you gave us the Bible
Now we're livin' in a nightmare
Where Black is bad and white is supreme
Fuck that shit, I'm comin' at ya!
NO MORE FEAR (Lyrics:Uddin Music:Qureshi)
I gots ta get mine, you gots ta get yours
I'm talking about the frontline
I gots ta get mine, you gots ta get yours
I'm talkin' about the frontline
Step back man, I'm not a US president
But if you wanna front, I'll kick ya back and let me see
Dis a young man coming dance to kick to the science
Young Black intellects are only comin' for the headstrong
My people had enough
Ain't no more fear, no more shame
I'm talkin' bout the frontline
Roughneck rude boyz, wake up qnd smell the coffee
Brewin', stwein', before your eyes are ruined
So you think you're a bad boy, you wanna be a gangster
Playin' the Oreo, perpatrating on your culture
Fool, you're being played in a white supremecy
That doesn't give a damn for the likes of you and me
Salullahu walai assallam, I'm not comin' for political asylum
Who are you to tell me what to do, what to say
I gotta move on, I gotta live like a man
My physical structure is that of a warrior
My lyrical rapture, a human soldier
So step aside and let me tell you what time it is
'Cause I'm fightin' for the frontline
So just back the hell up 'cos I'm not gonna ask you anymore
Back to basics is my politics
And we're not pacifists, we don't talk jive
We try to survive, no more fear, no more shame
So ring-a-ring-a-rosey, my culture is your enemy
It doens't bother me so don't treat me like a class B
Citizen (ha, ha, ha) I'm already on the frontline
We have no more fear
No more, no more, no more, no more fear
So tell me mister M.P., you try to represent me
Back to basics, conventional politics
But the K.K. Klan kills the black man
Yet suspicion strikes on the upper hand
So look at me, Jack, I'm comin' in the name of black
But you label me immigrant, ban my family
Let fools run around beating brothers like Ali
That's what it's like when you're livin' on the front
Front, front, front, frontline
Dollars Or Sense (Lyrics:Webb Music:Qureshi)
There they go in their collars and ties
Loving their kids and fucking their wives
Taught me the bible so I'd hate myself
His church is a bank, his religion is wealth
Praying every day for the life of a king
Burn that cross, it don't mean a thing
Save his soul for the man downstairs
He's living in sin, he's bound to get there
I saw Jesus and I saw God
Staring at me on a colour TV
Ain't it a bitch, religion in commercial
Acting rehearsals just to get paid
Christianity on interest free credit
Unless you can't afford it you ain't gonna get it
Bear it in mind, I mean for God's sake
Your flexible freinds won't get you through the gates
As they pass the tray, dig deep into your pockets
Nowadays we're worshipping a new kind of prophet
Killing their turkeys every goddam year
Carols they're singing while pissed on beer
It's a brand new spirit we're talking today
Coz these holy spirits take your brain away
But bear it in mind and you'll soon see
As seen by Nostradamus and me
Knocking on my door in the morning
Telling me Jesus is calling
Selling me books of make believe stories
Where people like me don't seem to have glory
Never been asked to baptise as lies are
Thrown while lips sip wine of the rich
It's a bitch that we live in the time of the criminal
Here comes the criminal Western religion y'all
Being cross at a cross may fuel your mind
The sheep are following a shepherd that's blind
But blind is he as his pockets are fat
Preaching all this and practising that
When will you learn, when will you see
They're retailing Christianity and feeding you insanity
Well, if you buy one, you get one free
Brainwashed and you're hypnotised
Can't see the truth and can't see the lies
Do as they say and don't say you won't
You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't
As I put my head down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
I give the lord my soul to take
Mother India (Lyrics:Subi Shah Music:Qureshi)
Behind every great man, there is a great woman
But as Jasmine never blossoms in the shade,
So woman's potential can be left to wither away,
Unfulfilled, when standing in the shadow of man
Still, woman of the east have stood strong
and fought hard throughout time.
The determined intelligent strength of a woman,
eminating from the inside out
There was brave Savitri of the Mahabharat
Who saved her husband Satiyavahn
from the God of Death himself,
Khadija Tul Qubrah, who loved, supported and believed,
Hazrat Aisha who carried and wrote The Word.
Bulkeese, Queen of Sheba, strong and proud.
Raziya Sultan; Ruler of India; wife of a slave
Rani Jansi, Warrior Queen.
Beautiful Anaarkali who sacrificed her life for her lover.
I have loved, so I have nothing to be afraid of.
Noor Jahan, Moghul empress, wife of Janghier,
governer of India
Zeb un Nisa, princess poet, woman of words
Lelia Khaled, freedom fighter of Palestine
Benezir, daughter of the East
Stll women are exploited and oppressed, the world over
from East to West
Love the ultimate strength,
given the ultimate strength, freely.
A gift and not a bond, freedom and not possession.
Brothers, you can no longer control those who love,
than you can control the path of love itself.
Respect your mothers, sisters, lovers and daughters
for all they are, for all they give you.
Beneath your mothers feet - lies heaven.
Assalam Wala-kum
Mr. Bubbleman (Lyrics:Sparkes/Watts Music:Qureshi)
I am the bubbleman
I am the politician man
When you're starving
When you're striking
You see me on t.v.
Telling you how your selfish greed
Always fucks you upI'm the bubbleman
I am the bubbleman
Say something in your own defense
You always sound so stupid and funny
You were never taught at school
How to speak or think
Blow the show, blow the whole show
Blow the show, blow the whole show
Press the button
Now boom, I said Boom
I am the Bubbleman
You're still sitting in your classroom
Listen to your teacher
I'm the bubbleman
I'll steal your dreams
And sell them back to you
I'm the bubbleman
I'll sell you arms
So your children lose theirs
And I'm laughing
I'll create enough famine and lawlessness
To drive you insane
Blow the show, blow the whole show
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll blow the show
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll rape your soul
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll crush your world.
I'll steal from your temples
And make your wheat belts dry
My global warming
Will turn your deserts green
I'll starve your people
To grow fat with greed
I'm the bubbleman
Blow the show, blow the whole show
Press the button, press the button now
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll blow the show
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll rape your soul
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll crush your world.
I'll hold you in the palm of my hand
I'll pump you up and smash you down
I'll feed your desires
All your aspirations are a seed
I planted in your brain
I'll call the shots you feel the pain
You've lost it
Like the father
fucking his 12 year old daughter
On a Monday morning
She was late for school
You've lost it
Saturday shopping with the child abusers and the rapists
That's your neighbor digging graves
Smell the fear
I'm the bubbleman
And I'm bubbleman
And I'm a politician man
Blow the show, blow the whole show
Fucking blow it now, you fucking blow it now
I'll press the button, I'll press the button
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll blow the show
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll rape your soul
Like a bubble, like a bubble I'll crush your world.
I'll sell your arms so your children lose theirs
I'll create enough famine and lawlessness to drive you
insane
I'll starve your people to grow fat with greed
When you're starving, when your striking
You'll see me on t.v.
Telling you how your selfish greed always fucks you up
You can't touch me
Right and wrong, left and right
You'll never catch me
I'm invisible
I'm looking right at you now
I'm invisible
Standing behind you
I'm a politician man
I'm the bubbleman
I'll take you to Cuba, and leave you there
I'm the bubbleman
I'll destroy you
I'll come in through the back room of your brain
And blow our head apart with your own insecurity
I'm the bubbleman
Like a bubble, I'll blow the show
Like a bubble, I'll rape your soul
 
English Breakfast (Lyrics:Webb Music:Qureshi)
You say no and dismiss when you hear this
You might say it's a lie and try to deny
Push up the noise I'm a tell you what happened
If knowledge was a food, you'd be living in a famine
Came and came then they raped and maimed
Stole my land but here comes the band
Telling me what's been did and done
I guess it's how they get their fun
They lived on my land and never gave rent
Never gave cents or pounds or pence
I got enough sense, they don't make dollars
Coming on ships making grown men hollar
Burning down villages just for fun
Making so much money while people hung
I'm telling you that's how they stay
Since way back then and also today
Here's the story as it went on
Exploitation from caucasians
We got the power so it keep 'em awake
With the thoughts of a panther, it makes 'em shake
No it can't happen again I say
Cos now we got the brains to blow the fuckers away
The they steal it makes me sick
Now they pay crackheads to suck their dicks
Using the defenseless for their own gain
Out of Europe whence they came
Demons and devils in a land of gods
Hunting the prize like hungry dogs
In the British museum is where you can see 'em
The bones of African human beings
