African holocaust


Chorus:
African Holocaust
I and I have survived the past
African Holocaust
Don't you know we were meant to last

Some people say we got to move on
What's in the past has now been long time gone
You think what you've got is your freedom
But all it means is to be FREE and DUMB

Chorus

So much tears so much pain and indignity
It's truly wonderous how we came through slavery
Now we bare the scars some say we'll never heal
Worst injustice to mankind is very real

Chorus

When it comes to the system a we still the victims
Of isms and schisms of ugly racism
The beatings, the lynchings, the shootings, the killingsThey say its finger licking Kentucky Fried Chicken
Head on the chopping block
When will it ever stop
Struggle to reach the top
Waiting for us to flop

Chorus

Took our language, stole our gold,
Gave us religion to lose our souls
In this confusion, we will find our way
In this great future, in Jah we praise

Chorus

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Steel Pulse è una delle più grandi band di reggae britanniche, in termini di successo creativo e commerciale. Originari di Handsworth, Birmingham, gli Steel Pulse hanno iniziato a suonare negli anni '70, contaminando le radici autentiche del reggae con influenze jazz e latine. Questo approccio originale ha conquistato un pubblico internazionale, portandoli a pubblicare il loro album di debutto, "Handsworth Revolution", nel 1978. Considerato da molti critici come uno dei punti di riferimento del reggae inglese, l'album ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera ricca di successi. Prima della fine degli anni '80, gli Steel Pulse hanno vinto un Grammy Award, consolidando il loro ruolo di esponenti di spicco del crossover reggae. Negli anni successivi, la band è tornata a esplorare le sonorità roots, integrando elementi dancehall e hip-hop. Tra i brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "Ku Klux Klan", "Sound System", "Steppin' Out" e "Jah Jah City".
