Justice
Keznamdi Lyrics

I'm looking for justice
Keznamdi is seeking for justice in this society.

The people dem a bawl
The people are crying out for justice.

Dem ah bawl
They are crying out for the injustice happening to them in the society.

Dem a bawl
These people are lamenting the injustices in the society.

Dem a bawl
The people are grieving for their lack of justice.

Dem nuh get none
Unfortunately, they are not receiving any justice.

The people dem a ball them a bawl
The people are wailing for the wrongs in the society that are not being corrected.

Dem sail dem ships upon the land
They brought slave ships on the land.

And took the kids of Africans
They took African children as slaves.

And gave them whips
They gave them whips to brutally condition them.

And chain dem hands
They chained their hands up like animals.

Them schemes and tricks and master plans
They had methods and strategies to enslave people.

Use bible scripts fi slave a man
They used religious texts to justify enslavement.

Then burn mi village kill mi fam and cage mi like an animal
They destroyed homes, killed families, and imprisoned people.

We pray for justice, father God
The prayer is for their God to bring them justice.

Four hundred years of blood and sweat and yes we still a slave
Even after all those years, they still feel enslaved.

Take the shackles off wi feet and put it on wi brains
They want to be freed from the mental enslavement.

Dem tek we history press delete and wipe we heritage
Their history is overlooked, wiped off and forgotten.

A truth and rights until we step off of this pilgrimage
They are seeking for truth, justice, and rights before their journey ends.

First it was slave ships now it's the matrix
Nowadays, mental enslavement is happening as well.

Where we mind locked up in dem cages
Their minds are oppressed in society.

And caught up in dem technological spaces
They are addicted to technology.

Time wasting taking selfies of our faces
People waste time taking pictures of themselves.

While wi sell wi life like craigslist
They sell their lives off like an online marketplace.

It might hurt when I say this
The following statement might be painful to accept.

But the truth wi haffi face it
They have to face the truth about the injustices in the society.

So upload this to your playlist
Listen to this song, put it in your playlist, and reflect.

Cah the radios nah guh play this
This song won't play on the radio because it speaks the truth.

And the pope him ah guh ban this
The pope won't allow this song to be heard.

Uncle Sam him nah guh like this
Uncle Sam won't be pleased with this song.

Rasta sink ku klux klan like Atlantis
Rasta culture will diminish the Ku Klux Klan.

And all political bandits
Corrupt politicians will be brought to justice.

With false promise lies and antics
Politicians lie and deceive the people with false promises.

Listen keenly to my synopsis
Listen attentively to my summary of the society's ills.

Corruption flood the streets like when Japan had tsunamis
Corruption is rampant like a disaster.

And these presidents behaving like dem is Hitler's and the Nazis
These presidents act like dictators.

These times are getting drastic
The current time is difficult.

From Kingston straight to Addis
From Jamaica to Ethiopia, injustices exist.

From London to Los Angeles
Injustices occur from London to Los Angeles.

Run to the police man and him nuh get none
The police won't bring justice.

The lawyer man and him nuh get none
The lawyers won't bring justice.

With the politician, him still nuh get none
Even the politicians won't fight for justice.

(Hmm huh hmm huh hmm huh)
Interlude.

Sailing away sailing off shore
Leaving for a better place.

Been brutalized and caged behind doors (brutalized)
They have been oppressed and imprisoned.

Stole my dignity I have that no more (Stole my dignity)
Their dignity has been robbed from them.

Watch mi nuh, said Im looking for it (looking for it)
They are still seeking for justice and dignity.

John F. Kennedy end up speechless
John F. Kennedy was silenced for speaking out.

When he told all of your secrets
When he exposed their secrets.

Marcus Garvey our shepherd and yuh can't expunge him record
Marcus Garvey is their leader, and no one can erase his contributions.

Paul Bogle our hero and you hang him down to zero
Paul Bogle is their hero, and no one should shame him.

Can't believe Malcolm X get couple shots inna him chest
Malcolm X was assassinated.

And the justice weh we want
The justice that they seek.

Dem nuh get none
They are not getting any justice.
