about
”What kind of world are we living in?“ - German Reggae-artist Uwe Banton poses this question insistently in his new single ”What Kind Of World“. In a time where so much is beyond our control and we almost long for a normality we never thought we would be longing for, this energetic Roots-Reggae-song comes just at the right time to remind us to face up to pervasive, worldwide greed. Once again Uwe Banton, who might well be called a veteran in the German scene, delivers a strong conscious tune, that offers Rastafarian philosophy as an alternative to the status quo and demonstrates that we can’t keep on going like this - ”The rich and poor will have to bleed“.
lyrics
Babylon falling
Zion is rising
Let righteousness cover the earth
Just like the water covers the sea
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed, yeah
We won't survive if everyone is on an ego trip
Ain't looking for salvation on a spaceship
No hideaway on moon and mars for you and me
Rockets in space are leaving people hungry
A Rastafari is the right revolution
Once and for all, clean out this pollution
The truth and light need no dilution
Only Jah love can bring forth solution
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed, yeah
Running, yes you're running, you will never get away
Time soon up, you'll have to pray, yeah
How can you still look into the mirror?
This greed is causing so much terror
In this time we've got to find a better way, yeah
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed, yeah
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed
What kind of world are we living in?
So many innocent suffering
Rampant greed is the common creed
The rich and poor will have to bleed, yeah
Jah children, Jah children, Jah children rising
Rasta children, Jah children, Jah children rising
