Linton Kwesi Johnson - Making History lyrics

rate me

Mekkin Histri

now tell mi someting

mistah govahment

tell mi someting

how lang yu really feel

yu coulda keep wi andah heel

wen di trute done reveal

bout how yu grab an steal

bout how yu mek yu crooked deal

mek yu crooked deal?

well doun in Soutall

where Peach did get fall

di Asians dem faam-up a human wall

gense di fashist an dem police sheil

an dem show dat di Asians gat plenty zeal

gat plenty zeal

gat plenty zeal

it is noh mistri

wi mekkin histri

it is noh mistri

wi winnin victri

now tell mi someting

mistah police spokesman

tell mi someting

how lang yu really tink

wi woulda tek yu batn lick

yu jackboot kick

yu dutty bag a tricks

an yu racist pallyticks

yu racist pallyticks?

well doun in Bristal

dey ad noh pistal

but dem chase di babylan away

man yu shoulda si yu babylan

how dem really run away

yu shoulda si yu babylan dem dig-up dat dey

dig-up dat dey

dig-up dat dey

it is noh mistri

wi mekkin histri

it is noh mistri

wi winnin victri

now tell mi someting

mistah ritewing man

tell mi someting

how lang yu really feel

wi woulda grovel an squeal

wen soh much murdah canceal

wen wi woun cyaan heal

wen wi feel di way wi feel

feel di way wi feel?

well dere woz Toxteh

an dere woz Moss Side

an a lat a addah places

whey di police ad to hide

well dere woz Brixtan

an dere woz Chapeltoun

an a lat a addah place dat woz burnt to di groun

burnt to di groun

burnt to di groun

it is noh mistri

wi mekkin histri

it is noh mistri

wi winnin victri
