Lyrics: MC ZULU. Ransom The Senator.

We don't want a situation where the people dem a suffer thru a senseless.. Revolution

Now we're dealing with the violence and they're killing one another for the politics? an illusion

They talk about peace while dividing all the people into tribal affiliations

Only one thing left for the people of the area, destruction... elimination



CHORUS

And so we Ransom the senator

Come mek we Ransom the senator

How many years of oppression and the innocent a suffer? So we ransom the senator

From the election we don't know what we've got... The difference with the have and have nots... So many people a suffer on your watch and so we ransom the senator



Liberate all souls from the practice of corruption hear the youth cry inna one voice

Deliver us from the valley of the shadows of destruction under gunpoint. You left us no choice

Preacher man have a Prayer for the sufferer

I and I pay a visit to de governor

Only one do the dirty work of all a them together, mek we ransom de senator..



CHROUS

You mek we take matters in a fi we own hands......



Thru sufferation I don't know how we live

Without protection and with no benefit

You bleed the nation, we got no more to give

And so we ransom the senator




Hear me now big it up fi de heathens question fi de in de meeting of the minds of the global business

Gimme de price whe you put 'pon treason

You talk about peace and you think about war for de benefit a capital gain

You find enemies and you make them fight from the middle a political game



Question to de warlord general

Who make you feel presidential?

If so how many more people dead why not just you and your cabinet



Who start with de first shot?

Who got all de people killing out nonstop? Not that fool on the hilltop

No sir, It's the long term senator, idiot. Believe that



-Reprise-



Oppressor we identify

Put your hands up and keep them in sight

No more violence or bloodshed tonight

Listen up and you just might survive



From the beginning, and we don't know what we've got... The difference with the have and have nots... So many people a suffer on your watch and so we ransom the senator

Well, Jah Jah Children. This is a bloodless revolution. Blindfold the senator, shave his head, leave him in the worst neighborhood. Let him feel how it is to live without priviledge for just one night.... and realize if you don't change your ways, the right time Soon Come
