Add Subtract Lyrics by BANTU (Crew)

Bantu

2004

[Verse 1: Ade Bantu]
As hiphop’s getting sober and the righteous taking over
Watch the system start to stagger
While we wake them from the coma
Truth be working undercover
While the air be getting thinner
For the downpressor man and dem slave trader
For too long we’ve been silent in the mist of the serpent Nodding on in agreement
While they fling a white garment
It’s evident
Check what they did to ancient Kemet
The way they robbed the Blackman of his very own achievement
There must be something deep be crawling in their sleep
No wonder they be killing anyone who dared to speak Yeah Lumumba, Nkrumah, Sankara, Fela
We’ve sacrificed our best to the arrogant West
[Chorus]
Add, subtract we multiply
I belong to a race that refuse to die
[Verse 2: Ade Bantu]
Born survivors mystic healers
We’ll be stroking mother earth
Making sure that our people understand what they’re worth
Immunise against the pain for the battles yet fought
Get the hardware straight for the programme to work
It’s crucial for us to brake away from the shackles
Realising our potential is quintessential
Get up my people celebrate who you are
For we ain’t gone this far to give up, nah, nah
There’s an African renaissance taking over here
Hear the message ring clear
Feel it blow in the air
As mind’s being prepared for the ultimate cause
A unified Africa with open doors
[Chorus]
Add, subtract we multiply
I belong to a race that refuse to die
[Verse 3: Mirta]
Si te acongoja el dolor
No, no le dejes si no es amor
Y cuando suena el tambor
Son tus reices si senor
