lyrics
Intro scatting:
Gee-yah, stap-du-dap-da whoa dis, trouble lord
Sing for me, oh y’don’t you see that
Oh It’s a train don’t make no stop
Don’t stop, oh, we gunna
Make them turn it over
Motherland don’t know
I ain’t workin’ for no paper..
Oh no, mmm
Babylon dem have a style to make you question
Between the rich and poor dem keep a distance
Dem nah go open no door, cause dem no response
Entertain a politician, become the victims
Don’t, sell your soul to get evicted (oo I won’t go)
From all your sweat and blood, drop in quick sand (sand)
Check yourself, learn yourself and get some respect
Jude and jury can’t decide Rasta choices
Life Force! Who act up the most
And nah hail Mother Earth, just cause
Life force! Checkin, who act up the most then
Nahh (force, force)
Life Force, life force (life force)
Life Force, it’s life force
Oyyy lawd
From day one Rasta warn them (from day one)
Dem never comply, suddenly dem be the victims, cause
Jah know Babylon system, don’t you?
Act so wise act so nice
Keep a smile on your face
Babylon take you fi dem price
Walk-in’ away
Leave your mother and your father still a beg on the streets, yes
Life force, life force. Who act up the most?
Life force, life force
It’s just life force, life force
Who act up the most?
Rastamon know it yuh-know,
Hehehe

The Dub Chronicles are three brothers/musicians from the Toronto area that are heavily inspired by the golden era of reggae in the 70s/80s. Modern/vintage roots reggae sound; rooted in dub and blended with sparse flourishes of bebop jazz
An absolute mind-blower: Producer Prince Fatty revisits the vintage Bunny Striker Lee reggae catalog and emerges with stunning results. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 18, 2023
