Dubsystem

Originally released as a 12" on the Jet Sounds label in the early 80s, this classic slice of UK roots has been on reggae collectors and selectors wants lists for years. When working on the recently released Errol Bellot 'Youthman' album, the Rootikal crew discovered an unreleased dub of the track, which allowed them to create this discomix edit, with the vocal running to the version – as opposed to the Jet Sounds 12", which runs to a toast.

Errol Bellot's 'Youthman' album is available now: http://reggaearchiverecords.com/?page_id=19

Errol Bellot 'The Wicked Them' discomix

[Verse 1]
Headlines thunder, say the world comes apart,
streets hum with rumors of a breaking heart.
I scroll through chaos with a clenched, tight jaw,
name every villain I think that I saw.
Catastrophe flickers on every screen,
I crown myself judge of what all this means.
But deep in the center of my small day,
one quiet choice still shapes the way.

[Pre-Chorus]
So I pull my focus
back to here,
back to this breath,
back to this fear.

[Mantra Chorus]
I say:
Edge of the blade,
heart of the street,
I change the story
with each soul I meet.

Edge of the blade,
heart of the street,
I tune my impulse
from rage to greet.

[Verse 2]
I think of the stranger I cut with my eyes,
the neighbor I sentence with private replies.
I call them “the problem” and walk right past,
then wonder why winters inside me last.
I fear not punishments falling from the sky,
I fear the cold verdicts I sling when I lie.
I shape my future with the words I repeat,
I shape this era in my tiny seat.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So I hold my fire,
name my ache,
trade quick blame
for a truer wake.

[Mantra Hook]
I tell myself:
Speak less venom, more clear truth.
Less performance, more live proof.
Less “you’re evil,” more “I see
places where you look like me.”

[Bridge]
I stand at the border of fury and care,
one step forward decides what lives there.
If I hurl curses, they circle around,
if I sow mercy, it softens the ground.
End times, headlines, warnings, dread—
none outrun what I just said.

[Final Mantra Chorus]
Edge of the blade,
heart of the street,
I choose my posture
with each soul I meet.

Edge of the blade,
heart of the street,
I send out the grace
I one day want to meet.

Edge of the blade,
heart of the street,
I turn my reflex
from crush to greet.

[Tag]
Catastrophe roars,
I still decide
whether my spirit
cuts or guides.
