Darker Than Blue Songtext
von Steel Pulse

Ready right now, ready right now
Ready right now, are you ready right now?

We people who are darker than blue
Are we gonna stand around this town
And let what others say come true?

We just good for nothing so them figure
Worthless, shifless nigger′s
We can hardly stand for that
Or is that where its really at?

Well, pardon me, brother
As you stand in your glory
I hope you won't mind
If I tell the whole story, yeah

Ready right now, ready right now
Ready right now, are you ready right now?

We people who are darker than blue
There′s no time for segregation
Talkin' 'bout brown and yellow too


Hi, yellow gal, can′t you tell
Your just a surface of our deep well
And if your mind can really see
You know your color is the same as me

Well, pardon me brother
As you stand in your glory
I know you won′t mind
If I tell the whole story, yeah

Ready right now, ready right now
Ready right now, ready right now
Ready, are you ready?
Ready, oh now now

Dry your weeping eyes
'Cause we are on the rise
Head up to the skies
Keep your eyes upon the prize

Jah Jah is the power and the glory
Givin′ us a brand new story
No mek tribal war destroy we
Let's bring about some unity

We people of African blue
It′s now time to seize the land
That's been long time overdue


Politician ′pon a mission
They conjuring up corruption
So long we've been denied
And were just not satisfied

Well, pardon me, brother
As you stand in your glory
I know that, I know you won't mind
If I tell the whole story, yeah

Ready right now, ready right now
Ready right now, are you, are you ready?
Ready right now, are you ready, ready, ready?
Are you ready? Ready, yeah

In a Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa
Sierre Leone and Ivory Coast and Liberia, oh yeah

Ready right now, ready right now
Are you ready?
Ready right now, are you ready?
Are you ready right now? Ready

Ready right now, oh yeah
Ready right now
Ready right now, ready
Are you ready right now?

African blue, African blue
African blue, African blue

Ready right now, are you ready?
Ready right now, are you ready?
Ready right now, are you ready?
Are you ready right now?
