Grow Down 01:11
lyrics

This is technically a revolution, just not the kind we wanted Grow down, grow down, down low And cycle again… …Through a 2pi rotation and crawl back to the starting point once more

Spinning Top 03:35
lyrics
buy track
If we had to be quite honest We are all just quite fed up of... Of complaining, about the same things Over and over and over... ...And over and over And over and over And over and over again They say we're 'spinning top in mud' But instead of mud it's shit You can dress it up and call it something nicer like ‘Conservation of angular momentum in faecal matter’ But your hands are still covered in shit So if we had to give an opinion We still welcome the opportunity To discuss this phenomenon And to document the history Of the fact the we're all just so fed up Of self-justifying apathy We're going in circles But the circles are imperfect The two ends don't even seem to meet Over and over and over and over And over and over again We’re growing; Devolving Still sinking; Repeating Self-justifying apathy We’re spinning; We’re spinning We’re spinning; We’re spinning We’re spinning; We’re spinning Perpetually spinning; Tops in shit

New World conquest; Slavery Indentureship; Post-colony Federated conspiracies Cane field Labour and oil wealth greed Rising rates of homicide and Social Inequality Failing Healthcare, education Imported food dependency Pollution Gross economic mismanagement Corruption Trans-Atlantic narco shipment hub Engineered racial divide To facilitate Kleptocracy But in the end we just gonna breeze… …just like we always have

Two Parties 01:06
lyrics
buy track
When they blur out your voice with a binary choice There’s no reason to oblige (to) all the things that they decide An incessant deception and a blatant misdirection How can you prescribe (that) we belong on either side? We continue to regress every time you oppress The nation is divided even though you try to hide it We thought it was endemic but it surely is systemic So we still feel sick when we’re forced to live with these Two Parties, Two Parties Two Parties, One Fucking Disease Two Parties, Two Parties Two Parties, One Fucking Disease We goin an fete till we dead with these… …Two Parties

Hadda Try ah Ting 02:43
lyrics

(J) - you have the right to freedom of assembly and association but can only assemble if you apply, and they give you permission (I) - you have the right to freedom of thought and expression but you are not allowed to express yourself wit words of aggression So what can an angry man do? What can a frustrated woman do? Or a youth wit no options do? What can a fed up people do? You love to hear of the struggle when its sung to beat you can cross the stage to Love to preach about love and unity when it helps bring in that tourism revenue But you call your fellow man a cockroach The colonial guard is the exterminator Criticise the act of burning tyres in the road From behind a keyboard in yuh air-conditioned home So what can an angry man do? What can a frustrated woman do? Or a youth wit no options do? What can a fed up people do? We cyah do nuting They say we cyah do nuting No way, Not at all! We cyah do nuting But we still hadda try a ting We cyah do nuting They say we cyah do nuting No way, Not at all! We cyah do nuting But we still hadda try and do we ting…. No way, Not at all! We cyah be on dat anymore Cuz doing nutting never really worked before We hadda try a ting We hadda try someting We hadda say we ting Even if we end up with nuttin

Leading Zeros 02:37
lyrics
buy track
So, what does it mean to progress? And how do we measure it? Given what was promised examined in retrospect? They used to speak of a bright development plan But the title referred to an average state Well if this is what it means, for visual acuity to be 6/6 I hope our other senses compensate It sometimes feels like we are just the leading zeros In datasets collected through imperfect methodologies Inputs into indicators that will never meet Arbitrary benchmarks for prosperity Converging To a resource curse Can not be our destiny It’s a tragedy that we’re forced to concede To the inverse relationship that’s between A historically successful denominator And proximity to the Equator No matter who is in power

Jumbies and corn curls We hadda bun them out We hadda bun them down We hadda bun them Jumbies and corn curls Up in d green fig tree We hadda shake them off We hadda bun them Cheap and Disposal; Non-nutritional But we're coming back for more Spicy or original It's undeniable that we like it so They say monkey know which tree to climb But the higher monkey climb, the more he ass is on display Troubled times but refuse to eat pepper Human see, human do, but monkey doh see he own tale You can re-count if you really want But that is just short term What we really need is reform Cuz the focus the future Need to reform every branch If we want to stand a chance To change banana republic cultya They got too comfortable; Doh want to leave office They try to buy support with lies disguised as promises They used to tailor words to what you want to hear But now they got too comfortable to still pretend to care Goal! Jumbies and corn curls We hadda bun them out We hadda bun them down We hadda bun them Jumbies and corn curls Up in d green fig tree We hadda shake them off We hadda bun them down Bun dem, even if the whole plantation burns It's time to raise up the heat But like a stale piece of sponge cake, They won't boil down; They'll just dry out You can analyse the numbers But that only goes so far We need long term solutions Because the focus is the future We need to cut down every branch If we want to stand a chance To change banana republic cultya Radical System Reform

Spider Belly 03:47
lyrics

Take a long gaze into the fire, now as yuh transform slowly See through cubic powered eyes, but all of them cokey Crawling with a pace, always on a scene Become a hero or a villain, or something in-between It depends on who you ask, which stories they remember (The) lessons the children learn, from the ancestors Now go pass it down We passing through Who pays the debts? Who defines the truth? Wrapping string around yuh waist, to known when the food is ready Look up to the moon in the sky, and now yuh feeling gladdy (real gladdy!) Collect up all the knowledge, but forget about respect Climbing up the branches, fall down and break yuh neck Consulting the spirits, transcribing what dey said Limbo under the wire, or it might cut off your head This is how we adapt; This is how we cope Now we must adapt again, in an ever changing world Playing tricks and catching kix Dressing crips to catch it Counting sticks, and taking lix Throwing bricks and run Playing tricks and catching kix Dressing crips to catch it Counting sticks, and taking lix Blaze up, then look to buss out Courage…without… Courage and persistence, without wisdom Cannot be vindicated, via dictum You can’t define morality, based on history That’s written by the victor, but lived by the victim Buss out!
