LINTON KWESI JOHNSON DI GREAT INSOHRECKSHAN LYRICS

It was in April, nineteen.....eighty one

Down 'n on dee ghetto of Brix-ton

Dat deh Babylon dem cause such a fric-tion

Dat it bring about a GREAT insohreck-shun

And it spread all over deh nay-shun

It was TRULY an historical occas-sion

It was event of deh year and I wish I had been der

When we run riot all over Brixton

When we MASH up plenty police van

When we MASH up the wicked one plan

When we MASH up the swarm(?) '81, fi what?

Fi make deh rule of dem understand

Dat we NAH take no more of dem oppression

And meh check out deh ghetto grapevine

To find out all dat I can find

Every rebel jus a revel in dem stahry

Dem ah talk bout deh power and deh glory

Dem ah talk bout deh burning and the looting

Dem ah talk bout deh smashing and the grabbing

Dem ah tell me bout deh vanquish and deh victree

Dem said deh babylon dem went too far

????????

And one or two innocent get marred, buh wha?

Thas how it go sometimes in a war, in star(?)

Thas how it go sometimes in a war

Dem say we burn down deh George we coulda burn da landlord

We burn down deh George we never burn da landlord

When we run riot all over Brixton

When we MASH up plenty police van

When we MASH up the wicked one plan

When we MASH up the swarm(?) '81

Dem say we commendear car and we gather ammunition

We build wif barricade and deh wicked catch afraid

We send out we scout figure find dem whereabout

Den we form up wif posse and we make ??? raid

Well now dem run down deh plan "call to action"

But dem plastic bullet an' dem water can-non

Will bring a BLAM BLAM, will bring a BLAM BLAM

Nevermind Scarman...WE bring a BLAM BLAM
