African Holocaust

[Intro: DJ Jukie Ranks]
It's a big deal, come and catch the news!
It's Steel Pulse and Jukie Ranks, I don wah set
Big up fah those who died for the cause
You know my name, 'cause I'm a rebel
[Verse 1: David "Dread" Hinds]
The Blood of Marcus, the blood of Malcolm goes running through my veins (That's right)
And Nat Turner's vision, I can see it very plain
Saw William Gordon and Paul Bogle hanging from a tree (From a tree, yah)
May their spirits and their souls come charging into me
[Chorus]
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel) (Ha!)
I was born (Born, a born, a born)
Yes, I was born fi rebel (Born, a born, a born)
[Post-Chorus]
Radical to the bone
Trouble won't leave me alone (Trouble, trouble)
Radical to the bone (Trouble, trouble)
Trouble won't leave me alone (Trouble, trouble)
[Verse 2: David "Dread" Hinds]
Saw Hannibal that crossed the Alps, went on to conquer Rome
Like David slew Goliath with a slingshot and a stone (What's my name?)
Like Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull, the great Geronimo
Fight with every tooth and nail, and every brick and stone (Come on!)
[Chorus]
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born, yes, come one (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born (Born, a born, a born)
Yes, I was born fi rebel (Born, a born, a born)
[Post-Chorus: David "Dread" Hinds]
Radical to the bone
Trouble won't leave me alone (Trouble, trouble)
[Bridge: David "Dread" Hinds]
Some a seh me too militant
A which part I man come from
Want protect I people
From who doing I and I wrong
[Verse 3: DJ Jukie Ranks]
Give thanks fi the rebel them weh inspire the ranks yah
Fidem home the stars above an riverbanks, yah
Ask we an we gi unu rebel answer
Yo, we a no cancer, but we live we angry lyrics, a no blanks yah
Malcolm X, him no jest, Marcus Garvey, a no prankster
Give the Most High reverence, yah
Hail, that's died for a cause, yah
Honour dem, no trod pon I people, be off yah
Rebel fi a cause, yah
[Chorus]
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born fi rebel (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born, eh (I was born and come fi rebel)
I was born (Born, a born, a born)
Yes, I was born to fight (Born, a born, a born)
[Verse 4: David "Dread" Hinds]
Fight with all my might, whether day or night
I've got to do what's right, people take advice (Trouble, trouble)
Jomo Kenyatta (born fi rebel), Kwame Nkrumah (born fi rebel)
Thomas Sankara (born fi rebel), e Machel Samora (born fi rebel)
Nelson Mandela (born fi rebel), Patrice Lumumba (born fi rebel)
Selassie I soldier (born fi rebel), e Castro of Cuba (born fi rebel)
[Pre-Chorus]
I was born fi fight, fight with all my might
Got to do what's right, whether day or night
Alive, survive, I strive, survive
Fight with all my might, got to do what's right
Whether day or night, people take advice
[Verse 5: DJ Jukie Ranks]
Malcolm X, him no jest, Marcus Garvey, a no prankster
Give the Most High reverence, yah
Hail, that's died for a cause, yah
Honour dem, no trod pon I people, be off yah
Rebel fi a cause, yah
[Outro]
Radical to the bone
Trouble won't leave me alone (Rebel fi a cause, yah)
Radical to the bone
Armed with sticks and stones (Trouble, trouble)
Radical to the bone (Born fi rebel, born fi rebel)
Trouble won't leave me alone
Radical to the bone
Trouble won't leave me alone
