Mentally enslaved
Mentally deranged
Mental doesn't change
Rental isn't paid
Why do you pretend to live everyday?
We are not the same
Is that all I tell myself to make me feel better?
What have I become?
Have I let my people down?
Let my people down
Have I let my people down yeah?
Have I let my people down yeah?
Have I let my people down?
My people down
Never, never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people
I'm not half the man Marley was
Still nuh heard the voice of Garvey calling us
And Luther King's soul is still patiently waiting for his dreams to come true because it feels like the same ting again
Still I fight fire with fire, streets still hot like fire
What's the matter with matter?
Still marching, screaming black lives matter
And so many people trying to be an activist in society
These days what we really need is active spirituality
Cuh Bob done fight already, X done fight already
And-a Rosa Parks make we flying first class nice and steady
So if you want to fight that fight again then alright, my baby
But after the revolution must come the evolutionaries
Ali deny Vietnam and stand firm, real and strong
Today our fight is to activate all the pineal glands
Of the youts in the streets weh nuh eat from morning
Provide them with a meal and songs
Wah mek them feel what me feel
When mi see Jah Jah open the seal and me know me never
Let my people down
Mentally deranged
Mental doesn't change
Rental isn't paid
Why do you pretend to live every day?
We are not the same
Is that all I tell myself to make me feel better?
What have I become?
I'm not half the woman Maya was
Still I hear the voice of Nina here guiding us
We're running out of legends
I know they look from the heavens down on me
I can't let them down
The people that are meant to be protecting us are killing us
The people that are meant to be protecting us are killing us
Anxiety and adrenaline, I know you feel the rush
Do you hear me now?
Never let my people down
Never, never let my people down
No, no
You say
Never let my people down
Never let my people down
Never let my people
