Jazzy hip hop. Just guitar, vocals and midi drums at the moment.

Own Damn Way (Rough Mix)

I see a tank rolling down the west bank 
Innocent in chains while the guilty run free 
I see a cop killing children at a road block 
Innocent in chains while the guilty run free 
I see a missile hit centre of the gaza strip 
Innocent in chains while the guilty run free 
I see another crime blaming it on Palestine 

Its not a war for a winning not a war for the ground 
The poor are screaming out but not a sound 
Getting heard from the third world hunting ground 
One side is reporting but the distortions profound 
They call it self defence but I see an attack 
Occupation of a nation and they're just fighting back 
Throwing stones from their homes on the same dirt track 
As the tanks and the mortars while them big fire back 
The story's been lost and erased from history 
While Israel keeps expanding creating refugees 
And the UN sits back without no vision or empathy 
While the land of Palestine gets burned from memory 

Voices screaming out, but never get heard 
Peace should be talked about, and never deferred 
Cos the truth should be called out loud, and not interred 
In this conflict there is no doubt, that zionism is murder 

Its not a war being fought by people on two sides 
Its a culling its a killing its a mass genocide 
Not a racial but religiously driven apartheid 
A slaughter with no quarter and no sight of human rights 
How long can we let this crime go unaddressed 
With no anger no disgust and without a mass protest 
At the treatment of a people deprived and depressed 
Living in conditions distressed and oppressed 
Theres a power intent on their mass extermination 
Guilty of crimes so profound they're UN violations 
Of laws set down to stop this annexation 
But we're funding this war financing their damnation 

Voices screaming out, but never get heard 
Peace should be talked about, and never deferred 
Cos the truth should be called out loud, and not interred In this conflict there is no doubt, that zionism is murder

Innocent In Chains

Hailing from Brighton are The FreeDub Press a six-piece outfit that cross dub, reggae, ska and hip-hop. FreeDub are all about their political message, listing Chomsky and the Zeitgeist Movement amongst their many non-musical influences. It’s certainly not the first time a strong political message has been set to bouncing reggae and ska, but it’s a style that FreeDub wholeheartedly embody. Undeniable feel, fast-paced and expressive lyrical delivery, groove-heavy bass lines and some lovely saxophone melodies are just the icing on this perfectly baked band-cake. Musically tight, politically on point and sure to get you skanking.
Lyrics touch on issues that are often ignored or disguised by the mainstream media, wrapped up in reggae to make you move.
