Aldubb, Dubmatix & Illbilly Hitec - "ESSENTIAL" (feat. Lengualerta & Longfingah

A trip hop instrumental with some influences from genres such as alternative rock and contemporary classical, Genesis is my virgin foray into the world of instrumental music. Experimenting with electronic elements, the song tries to find a balance between the digital and the live human energy.

Genesis

A short story based on the events of May 23rd, 2010, when the Jamaican government deployed its military into Tivoli Gardens in the capital city of Kingston.
Premier Nov 5th.

Ey, ey
Watch ya dread
Hey hey

Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up your mind
Kingston, just be wise
Kingston, free up the I, yeah

When the city a go click-clack-blow, you bet
Government fingers and tic-tac-toes in it
And while they working on the X's and O's
I'm living I-N-I like I'm Mister Kamoze
No surprise when they sending foes to me
Opposite of when plain clothes approaching me
Follow they rules is what they propose to me
Selling they souls for what is owed, you see
Nothing is owed, nothing is promised 
Never know the government woulda run up inna them garrison
Without no sorry, without excuse
Soldier man inna them lorry, everybody get abused, and
Everybody have them views now
The media is owned so know where you get your news from
And the blood deh pon them shoes now
When them walking it trace
Look them hard in them face
And say

Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up your mind
Kingston, just be wise, for me
Kingston, free up the violence

Now all the damage can't quantify
Roy Rayon couldn't sanctify 
Say a nuff a dem them send fi die
So the city a intensify
Say the ghetto them a gentrify
Well I, nobody nuh identify
Nuff bodies unidentified and just a lie deh
Then where the gun deh? Dead pon Saturday 
Buried Sunday like Solomon Grundy
Like a no Sons of Solomon them have down deh
Leonard Howell, Pinnacle and them land deh
Subdivision, them deal it underhand deh
So learn it 'cause them come back with dem plan deh
So tell me how far do you wanna go now, hey
'Cause them will ratta-tatta-tatta when u pow-pow-pow

LYRICS

It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion

will you be the one for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep looking forward and never retreat


in this jungle out there with so many limitations
set intentionally just for us to fail
with your plans in motion and standing in your power
and strength from your lioness you’re bound to prevail
the mission is for those who can endure
and wont stand for injustice and oppression no more
and the journey is for everyone to share
when the lions are leading there is nothing to fear

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
To focus on spiritual cultivation 
and find themselves through ancient preparation

in this jungle out there some people mek the evil rule dem nature 
turning life into a rat race
and the youths dem head a burn cause the only thing they’re learning 
from those people’s how to rob you to your face
instead of giving them guidance and encouragement
you’re provoking them daily giving rise to resent
but the tension that they’re building up inside 
will find direction and purpose in the lion pride

will you be the one, for the mountains and valleys are these city streets
will you be the one to keep moving forward and never retreat

oh ‘cause it’s a jungle out there

interlude

A future for the youth must be priority
Establishing a nation where they all will be free
So the lionesses rise to the occasion
And nurture them with conscious meditation


It’s a jungle out there and life is unfair 
for the ones left to scrap for the scrapes
Generations have grown in the same situation: 
tribal warfare, chattel slavery and now taxes
The people never have enough and children are born fatherless 
and families have no one to rely on
so from blood sweat and tears the solution appears
the pride needs defending by a lion
