Текст песни Time We Realize - Mutabaruka

We've been down for so long
Its time that we take a stand
Remove the shackles make a plan
Nomore excuse for your situation

Now dem teck wi out a afrika
Tell mi madda tell mi fadda jesus Christ a cum
In slavery days
Dem change wi ways tell wi who fi praise
Control wi wid dem gun
Divide and rule is de game
Yuh cah si tings is de sameget up off yuh hallow head
We are all walkin dead

Now dem come agen new disguise
Telling us de same old lies
Churches here churches there churches almost everywhere
But tings getting worst
Pure empty purse
An' all wi see is death an'destruction
An' de preacher a preach
An'de teacher a teach
A' all de dawta dem a bleach
An' nuttin naw guh dung
Gun shot here ...gun shots there
Gun shots almost every where
An' wi pray.an' wi pray
An' wi pray everyday

Is it not time we realize
That two thousand years have passed us by
Have we become more lovin and kind'er
Where is our love for mother nature
Shall we wait for a saviour to come
With this doctrine of a new millennium

Get up off yuh big fat ass
Work is worship time a pass
Yuh cah si is you a carry de cross
Suh dem teck wi out a afrika
Dem neva know seh wi would a still deh yah

Honor yuh madda honor yuh fadda
Love yuh sista love yuh bredda
Create a job.stop rape an' rob
Get inside yuh mentality
Find yuh sensibility
Teck yuh step one by one
Study hard have a plan
De people perish where there is no vision
Life is one big road with a lot of sign
So please don't complicate your mind
Fite de fite with all yuh might
Build yuh strength from within
Don't let de preacher meck yuh sin
Point yuh arrow aim yuh aim
Life is like a archer game
An' If tings remain
Only you is to blame
Suh a tell yuh true its up to you
To do... to do... to do
Get up off yuh big fat ass
Work is worship time a pass
Don't let the children bear yuh cross

Suh dem teck wi out a wi madda land
Try fi kill wi one by one
Now wi wise and wi ovastan'
Wat is de aim.an' wat is de plan
Doh falla falla wat dem she
Yuh cah pray yuh troubles away
You will have to teck matters in yuh own hand
Personal responsibility is your only solution
So do for you wat you can do
To yourself you must be true
Take some time to check your mind
A million dollar start with one dime
Teck yuh step one by one
Study hard have a plan
The people perish where there is no vision
