Текст песни People's Court Part I - Mutabaruka

Order, now my court is in session will u please stand
First allow me to indroduce myself my name is judge judge
1000 years some people call me ′betta mus com' i am from afrika
I com to try all u politicians for sellin out black people.
In my court, only me talk cause i am vex,
Dis is de people′s court what do you have here today
Well your honour we have defendants senator sanky singh
And senator change mimind also here is mr.
Religious belief but i think we shall deal with the senators
Today, at a later date we will deal with mr.Religious belief.
Alright, alright politician singh and politician change mimind u are
Brought here for tricking black people,
By promising dem good livin every five years
You have been sellin out black people to foreigners.
Your honour hush up a not finish yet wat u want to do, promise me to?
I see de rich gettin richer an de poor dyin your honour
Fundamentally, if i may say something at dis point in time...
Shut up.
This is the people's court and a not allowing any politrikin here
If you disturb me again i will give
You 1000 years for contempt of court.
U are also charged for chargin de people too much taxes
Because of your mismanagement
Spendin money then taxing the people for it.
U keep borrowing money from the i.M.F
And the world bank in the people's name continuing de oppression of
Black people by the same colonialist
Why u can′t learn
No so called third world country has been able to break loose
From these money hogs you have black people in a vicious cycle.
If it wasn′t for me,
Black people in this country would
Still be worshippin the statue of liberty.
Well tell me how come u change your mind now...
Shut up.
What you trying to do?
Confuse the court.
I am giving you both 1000 years on the first account.
From 1938 until now you have been dividing black people your promisin
De people right back into slavery now de only thing u
Have been truthful about is your thing about 'out of many one′
Your honour that was taken from my uncle sam
Yes,Cause only one people a clean de street one people a eat out a
Garbage heap one people to cut sugar cane one people ina sun an rain
One people a toil an one people a collect de coil
Speakin of uncle Sam i shall also charge u for given rise to crack
And cocaine in dis country by killin off
The ganja plant that use to help to balance our
Foreign exchange deficit i am givin you 1000 years for the
Crimes of anthony girlie girlie godfather don an mr Crack stone
But your honour
Shut up your should be hanged
But i shall be lenient and give you both 1000 years.
I have been noticing that in your airports only out
Going passengers are caught with drugs but neva a tourist,
Yet we don't grow cocaine here but
It keep getting more common and more common.
But the tourist business is vital to our national development
Vital, vital to who? wid u all exclusive hotels,
Tourists will soon think negril is a next island by itself
You claim that the poor can′t teck
No more but you not givin them anything
A see more benz than lada and hear that a car
That cost $20, 000 in Miami cost $800, 000 here.
Wat you do wid all that extra money at customs u keep talkin bout
Tourist harrasment,
What do u call what they do to jamaicans in foreign
Everyday dem talkin bout jamaican posse
Your honour, as you can plainly see when i
Was in power things was goin to get right,
I had all de white people wid money on my side all
The brown people was starting to feel like dem was livin
In miami
But what about de black people?
Well a was just gettin around to them
I loss de elections your honor
That is no excuse your honour before him Black people
Was gettin very self sufficient brown people was startin
To acquire houses in miami that is
Because dem was runnin away your honour
White people started to seh i and i and irie
Your honour, if it wasn't for him and his
Black ideology we would reach much further...
Your honour, im neva have poor people in mind,
That is why wi havin so much trouble now
Your honour, is him change, not me
Your honour, im have a party of gangs, im sey suh imself.
Shut up.
I see no difference between both of you.
U both following the same thing that has
Been and still is keepin down black people.
When u not in power your honour, it is easy to say dis and that.
But when you have power is a different sanky you have to sing.
I am givin you both another 1000 years.
Nun of you have the solution to black people problem
I suggest you read the philosphy and opinions of marcus garvey.
Study em carefully,
Then i might just grant onu pardon and
Another thing, before onnu begin onnu sentence,
Both of u visit the arcade and see
How poor women run business from nothin.
Let the domestic helpers show u how to use
$130 to feed a family of six for one week.
Now take them away.
