Role Model Lyrics

In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem chopping down our role models
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem a cutting down our role models'Cause every single time we make a stance now, yeah
They always try their very best to catch us with our pants down, woe
Want to smear our name and denounce our fame
It's a crying shame, hatred still remains
I'm charging dem rascals for libel and slander, ohIn the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem chopping down our role models
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem a cutting down our role modelsCheck your plots and schemes in your game shows
To turn our heroes into zeroes, know your tricks and deeds
Want to kill the seeds that we plant and grow
Why you stoop so low?
I'm charging them rascals for libel and slander, ohIn the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem chopping down our role models
In the belly of the beast in dis ya struggle
Dem a cutting down our role modelsListen to the thing that I'm about to confess

I hate and I despise and I deplore and detest
The tabloids and newspapers better known as the press
And so much propaganda that it leads to distressMagic Johnson, Micheal Jordan, boom you're the best
Advice to Micheal Jackson, keep your cards to your chest
Mr. Iron Mike Tyson always under arrest
And vote fi Jesse Jackson, him a next presidentThe plight of OJ Simpson caused a civil unrest
Police beat up Rodney King until his face was a mess
Defend yourself by any means and Malcolm say yes
I dare a man to ever curse a who Jah Jah blessThe mind is a terrible thing to waste
Dem just a mud up, mud up
Blood up, blood up [unverified]Up ye mighty race
And wipe the dirt from your face
Never ever fall from grace
The mind is a terrible thing to waste
The mind is a terrible thing to wasteIn dis ya struggle
Our role models
