Well Well Well, for a long time I been waiting for this Tune, this Version rules the nation, a souvenir for all the people who could be at the Tawai fest 2018, O.B.F. and its sound power ft Monkey Jhayam, who describes the harsh reality of South America. I cannot wait to make it spin it on Litoral Dub Soundsystem
Thank for make this!!
Escute com atenção porque São varios...
Politicos, Ricos, Empresários, Latifundiarios, Banqueiros....
Vampiros de todas as espécies que sugam o sangue,
Suor e vitalidade do nosso povo!
O rico nada seria sem a escravidão...
Na aí quebrada vamos seguir pelo caminho da luz da consciência porque a fita é o seguinte ó.
2018 no Brasil barato ta ficando loco,
os jovens de quebrada estão se matando por pouco,
politico ladrões nada fazem pelo povo,
no extremo é sem massagem vacilou tomou pipoco,
Quem vive na favela, não, não pode vacilar,
qualquer passo em vão, tudo pode complicar,
dificil conviver com tanta maldade no ar
cada um tem o seu própio jeito de se virar.
Policia corrompida esta perdida pelas ruas,
na america latina essa é a real nua e crua,
milicias pelos morros, espalhando o terror,
plano de um governo Fascista, moralista e opressor,
Privatizaram tudo, liberaram armamentos,
largaram o povo pobre a mercê do sofrimento,
mas se a criança crescer e aprender atirar,
Vai ser super héroi com o poder de se vingar,
por isso o reggae music tem a missão de resgatar.
Bem melhor que ser gangster, é ter disposição,
pra correr pelo certo sem atrasar seu irmao,
use sua inteligencia, tire o revolver das mãos,
a vida aqui não é facil, mas não se entregue pra ilusão.
Brasil Boom shaka lack, o Rastaman traz a visão,
Não quero ver os jovens reféns dessa situação,
aprendendo desde cedo a engatilhar o canhão,
ao invés de estudar, aprender uma profissão,
Essa é a nossa realidade não é filme de ficção,
olhe as margens da cidade, o povo sem condição,
o que sustenta a sua riqueza é a base da escravidão,
Previlégio garantido gerações e gerações,
é o monkey que chega no riddim, dropa no topo da versão,
Só ideia consciente pra fortificar a nação,
OBF inna militant style na sessão,
mandando a ideia reta sem perder a direção,
Bumbo que bate pesado no peito, Boom, Faz tremer o chão,
Grave que quebra a vidraça com o poder da vibração,
Sente o calor do fogo dentro do seu coração,
Musica é nossa arma, e nóis tem muita munição,
Bem melhor que ser gangster, é ter disposição,
pra correr pelo certo sem atrasar seu irmao,
use sua inteligencia, tire o revolver das mãos,
a vida aqui não é facil, mas não se entregue pra ilusão.
ENG
16 TONS OF INEQUALITY
Listen closely because there are many…
Politicians, Rich people, Businessmen, Landowners, Bankers…
Vampire of all sorts that suck the blood,
the sweat and the vitality of our people!
The rich would be nothing without slavery…
Here in the hood we will follow the path of the light of consciousness because here is the
thing:
2018 in Brazil, shit is going down,
young people from the ghetto are dying over nothing,
crooked politicians do nothing for the people,
in the outskirts it’s ruthless, you slip you get shot
Who lives in the slum, can never make a mistake, no,
one misstep and everything can go to hell,
it’s hard to live with so much evil in the air
each has its own way to get by.
Corrupt police lurks around the streets,
in Latin America, this is the harsh reality,
militias in the ghettos spreading terror,
a facist, moralist and oppressive government plan,
They privatized everything, allowed the bearing of arms,
they abandoned poor people at the mercy of suffering
but if the child grows up and learns how to shoot,
he will be a superhero with the power of getting revenge,
that’s why reggae music has the mission to rescue.
Much better than being a gangster is be willing,
to do the right thing without harming your brother,
use your intelligence, toss the gun away,
life here is not easy, but don’t give into the illusion
Brazil Boom shaka Iack, the rastaman brings his vision,
I don’t want to see young people hostage of this situation,
learning from a young age how to pull a gun,
instead of studying, learning a trade,
This is our reality, it’s no sci-fi movie,
Look at the edges of the city, people without means,
what sustains your wealth is the foundation of slavery,
guaranteed privileges from generation to generation,
This is monkey flowing in rhythm, dropping here,
Only conscious ideas to fortify the nation,
OBF in the place inna militant style,
Speaking the truth without ever faltering.
The beat of the bass drum hits heavily in the chest, Boom, makes the floor shake
The low sound that breaks the glass with its vibrating power,
Feel the heat of the fire inside your heart,
Music is our weapon and we have a lot of ammunition
Much better than being a gangster is be willing,
to do the right thing without harming your brother,
use your intelligence, toss the gun away,
life here is not easy, but don’t give into the illusion.

16 TONNES D’INEGALITE
Écoute attentivement car ce sont trop de…
Politiciens, Riches, Hommes d’affaires, Propriétaires terriens, Banquiers…
Vampires de toutes sortes qui sucent le sang,
La sueur et la vitalité de notre peuple !
Le riche ne serait rien sans l’esclavage…
Ici dans les quartiers on va suivre le chemin de la lumière de la conscience car la vérité c’est la suivante.
2018 au Brésil on nage en pleine folie,
les jeunes des quartiers se tuent pour un rien,
ces voleurs de politiciens ne font rien pour le peuple,
dans les banlieues, y a pas de pitié, si tu te rates tu prends une balle,
Qui vit dans la favela, n’a pas le droit à l’erreur, non,
un seul mauvais pas et tout peut s’écrouler,
difficile de cohabiter avec autant de malveillance dans l’air
chacun trouve sa façon de s’en sortir.
La police corrompue rôde dans les rues,
en Amérique Latine c’est ça la dure réalité,
des milices dans les cités, qui répandent la terreur,
un plan de gouvernement fasciste, moraliste et oppresseur.
Ils ont tout privatisé, libéré le port d’armes,
Ils ont laissé les pauvres dans la souffrance,
Mais si l’enfant grandi et apprend à tirer,
Il va devenir un superhéros avec le pouvoir de se venger,
C’est pour ça que le reggae music a pour mission de secourir.
Au lieu d’être un gangster, soit plutôt prêt à te donner à fond,
pour rester sur le droit chemin sans nuire à tes frères,
utilise ton intelligence, ne mets pas d’arme dans tes mains,
la vie ici n’est pas facile, mais ne tombe pas dans l’illusion.
Brésil Boom shaka Iack, le rastaman partage sa vision,
Je ne veux pas voir de jeunes prisonniers de cette situation,
Apprenant très tôt à charger des armes,
Au lieu d’être à l’école et d’apprendre un métier,
Ça c’est notre réalité, c’est pas de la science-fiction,
Regarde les périphéries, le peuple sans moyens,
Ce qui maintient ta richesse c’est ce qui entretient l’esclavage,
Les privilèges garantis de génération en génération,
C’est moi monkey qui arrive en rythme, et pose sur le flow,
que des idées conscientes pour fortifier la nation,
OBF est dans la place en pure style militant,
montrant la bonne voie sans détours.
La grosse caisse qui résonne fort dans ta poitrine, Boom, fait trembler le sol
Les basses qui cassent les vitres avec son pouvoir de vibration,
Ressens la chaleur du feu dans ton coeur,
La musique est notre arme et on a beaucoup de munitions,
Au lieu d’être un gangster, soit plutôt prêt à te donner à fond,
pour rester sur le droit chemin sans nuire à tes frères,
utilise ton intelligence, ne mets pas d’arme dans tes mains,
la vie ici n’est pas facile, mais ne tombe pas dans l’illusion.

Danman performed this tune (beside others) with Roots Plague Sound System at the Tryptichon in Muenster, Germany on November 11, 2022. It just blew me away!
But also Be Wise, Chant Down Babylon or Mash Dem Down are hot. I love this stoic and forward pushing riddim plus Danman's mesmerizing voice floating above all bass lines. Talladega
