Strong culture

Written by: das, savale, zaman, uddin

I grab the mic
To commence with the mic check
Supply rhymes, man youve never heard yet
You never thought an asian could do this
Well youre wrong
Wrong again
Hardcore!
Thats what I wanna be
All over the white world
Yes theyll remember me
Dont look at me as an innocent bystander
Because Ill scare you after dark ...

Master d adlib

Paki bashing
Thats what I call fucking racism
And you can tell Im a fucking paki lover
Day to day
Night to night
Persecution with a capital p
Racism with a capital r
Man Ive seen your scar
Ive seen your scar
You expect me to sympathise
The hell no!
You dont know the price that were paying

Master d adlib

What you see is no mirage
Asian guys and girls comin large
Straight from the east
Tough!
And coming like a beast
Guys who are very keen and showing ability
Tranquility, we have the audacity
Speaking out
cos theres no doubt about that

Another critical rhyne make you wanna look
Observe it
Its like a comic book
Coming from the place
With the capital b
Ill let you guess-
No let me tell you:
The b and the a and the n and the g and the l and the a
With a word called desh
Sums up the country the word and the place called bangladesh
So you never contest
Yes you thought I couldnt do it
Im not a black man
This time its an asian
Some fear the white man
Some fear the ku klux klan
But they aint up to no good
Brother brother, sister sister
Yes if your miss or if your mister
Listen to this rap
Its asian guys coming correct

Way back in the sixties
Our fathers, our mothers
They suffered a lot for us
They couldnt say much
They couldnt do much
cos of the fear of getting beat up
But now its the nineties
Were not babies no more
You know the score that we live for

Our fathers, our mothers
They brought us up to be tough
We dont stand for any bullshit
We dont give a damn
Even if youre superman
Strong culture is what you see in our eyes
Not just tough guys.
