Making History Lyrics


Mekkin histri
Now tell mi someting
Mistah govahment
Tell mi sometingHow lang yu really feel
Yu coulda keep wi andah heel
Wen di trute done reveal
Bout how yu grab an steal
Bout how yu mek yu crooked deal
Mek yu crooked deal?Well doun in soutall
Where peach did get fall
Di Asians dem faam up a human wall
Gense di fashist an dem police sheil
An dem show dat di Asians gat plenty zeal
Gat plenty zeal, gat plenty zealIt is noh mistri
Wi mekkin histri
It is noh mistri
Wi winnin victri
Now tell mi someting

Mistah police spokesman
Tell mi sometingHow lang yu really tink
Wi woulda tek yu batn lick
Yu jackboot kick
Yu dutty bag a tricks
An yu racist pallyticks
Yu racist pallyticks?Well doun in Bristal
Dey ad noh pistal
But dem chase di babylan away
Man yu shoulda si yu babylan
How dem really run away
Yu shoulda si yu babylan dem dig up dat dey
Dig up dat dey, dig up dat deyIt is noh mistri
Wi mekkin histri

Wi winnin victri
Now tell mi someting
Mistah ritewing man
Tell mi sometingHow lang yu really feel
Wi woulda grovel an squeal
Wen soh much murdah canceal
Wen wi woun cyaan heal
Wen wi feel di way wi feel
Feel di way wi feel?Well dere woz Toxteh

An a lat a addah places
Whey di police ad to hideWell dere woz Brixtan
An dere woz Chapeltoun
An a lat a addah place dat woz burnt to di groun
Burnt to di groun, burnt to di grounIt is noh mistri
Wi mekkin histri
It is noh mistri
Wi winnin victri

Linton Kwesi Johnson (aka LKJ) (born 24 August 1952, in Chapelton, Jamaica) is a British-based dub poet. He became only the second living poet to be published in the Penguin series. His poetry involves the recitation of his own verse in Jamaican creole over dub-reggae, usually written in collaboration with renowned British reggae producer/artist Dennis Bovell . Most of Johnson's poetry is political, dealing mainly with the experiences of being an african-caribbean in Britain.
