Asian Dub Foundation

Strong Culture

I grab the mic

To commence with the mic check

Supply rhymes, man you've never heard yet

You never thought an Asian could do this

Well you're wrong

Wrong again

Hardcore!

That's what I wanna be

All over the white world

Yes they'll remember me

Don't look at me as an Innocent bystander

Because I'll scare you after dark...

Master D Adlib

Paki bashing

That's what I call f**king racism

And you can tell I'm a fucking Paki lover

Day to day

Night to night

Persecution with a capital P

Racism with a capital R

Man I've seen your scar

I've seen your scar

You expect me to sympathise

Then hell no!

You don't know the price that we're 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 there's no doubt about that

Another critical rhune

Make you wanna look

Observe it

It's like a comic book

Coming from the place

With a capital B

I'll 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 just thought

I couldn't do it

I'm not a Black man

This time it's an Asian

Some fear the white man

Some fear the Ku Klux Klan

But they ain't up to no good

Brother brother, sister sister

Yes if your miss or if your mister

Listen up to this rap

It's Asian guys coming correct

Way back in the sixties

Our fathers, our mothers

They suffered a lot for us

They couldn't say much

They couldn't do much

'Cos of the fear of getting beat up

But now it's the nineties

We're not babies no more

You know the score that we live for

Our fathers, our mothers

They brought us up to be tough

We don't stand for any bullshit

We don't give a damn

Even if you're superman

Strong culture is what you see in our eyes

Not just tough guys.

Master D Adlib
