We refuse to be
What you wanted us to be;
We are what we are:
That's the way (way) it's going to be. You don't know!
You can't educate I
For no equal opportunity:
(Talkin' 'bout my freedom) Talkin' 'bout my freedom,
People freedom (freedom) and liberty!
Yeah, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
Yes, we've been trodding on the winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!

Babylon system is the vampire, yea! (vampire)
Suckin' the children day by day, yeah!
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin' the blood of the sufferers, yea-ea-ea-ea-e-ah!
Building church and university, wo-o-ooh, yeah! -
Deceiving the people continually, yea-ea!
Me say them graduatin' thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin' the blood of the sufferers (sufferers).
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)

Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth right now!

Come on and tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Tell the children the truth;
Come on and tell the children the truth.

'Cause - 'cause we've been trodding on ya winepress much too long:
Rebel, rebel!
And we've been taken for granted much too long:
Rebel, rebel now!

(Trodding on the winepress) Trodding on the winepress (rebel):
got to rebel, y'all (rebel)!
We've been trodding on the winepress much too long - ye-e-ah! (rebel)
Yea-e-ah! (rebel) Yeah! Yeah!

From the very day we left the shores (trodding on the winepress)
Of our Father's land (rebel),
We've been trampled on (rebel),
Oh now! (we've been oppressed, yeah!) Lord, Lord, go to ...

The little girl with the sign "I am here for my future" pulled those heart strings and opened flood gates of tears. I see the Jesuits prophets living on war death poverty and illness

[Ricorican]

One of the most powerful songs ever sang

[darksidedean]

I've recently woken up from a long sleep...now I'm awake and ready.

[barrygrant]

Too powerful this Song, it was the way ahead of it's time Bob was happening today in 2021

[bernardmartin]

As long as there's inequality, oppression, racism and injustice, an uprising is inevitable. Bob's music will stand the test of time. His music speaks for us, with us and fight governments with us. "we refuse to be what they wanted us to be".

[VictoriaPyle]

Babylon System is not the Illuminati, Bush, Trump, the Pope or any one entity or person. It's the separation of the Holy Spirit from the People.
Bob's music will live on forIver... Because It is itself Holy ~ it's a joyful noise to the most High 🖤

All those Americans holding the signs saying they are the 99 percent don't realize most Americans are the one percent. One only needs to make 27000 American dollars to be in the one percent of wealth in the world and that is a fact look it up. Tell your children the truth, we are rich, we are the powerful, we are the problem, and playing the victim is the worst we can do. Be the change.

They wanna teach multiplication but can’t feed everyone.

[robertduggan]

Bruh the vampires don’t even hide anymore. I got my shield up. And Jah by my side

[tiagosmv]

Pure feelings, beautiful Song, King Bob forever in my heart

[willsalway]

I see the problem that we have in this world, no matter what good you do you're ALWAY gonna have bad minding people. How could people dislike this video?

[curtisalleyne]

That's right Bob tell the people the truth

[budwhite]

Great video, especially during this current worldwide democide.

[TheNathan]

No joke. We are just as guilty of we stand by and do nothing to change America.

[anonymousmc]

[collectiveconscify]

[benjaminhenryredeemed]
