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

Own Damn Way (Rough Mix)

Bring down the guilty and the swindlers to be charged 
Want to fight them back well ya better be acting fast 
Look hard 
For the money that is running from the people 
Ya see the evil that they’re making it is changing into legal 

Bring down the holders and the folders playing their cards 
We’re standing up for every man them want to disregard 
Hold fast 
Till the offer is honoured upon the table 
Ya see the evil that they’re making it is changing into legal 

Like a steel ball said you know we’re gonna wreck it 
Smashing through the lies with the power of poetics,  
Stand back stand up stand tall if ya check it 
You’ll find these words prophetic give up the ascetic 
And dig deep for the inner truth of your being 
Was a time when seeing was nothing but believing  
But now you’re seeing the bigger picture 
And judging the man for the first time 
For the last crime 
Of greed its need turned to creed and deed   
concede decreed to bleed for plead to secede and cede and 
Stop ya trying start ya buying  
Start ya lying keep ya prying  
Keep ya dying 
For a little more 
Its those you abhor that fund the system 
Those you elect but those that never listen  
They glisten their diamonds keeping the profits but tighten the purse strings 
While the nurse clings to the hand of a passing man 


Its like a prism where white light enters 
Then centres, silencing dissenters,  
Creates propagates then manipulates all of its mentors 
Until those that teach are taught by those that bought and fought against the basis of our freedoms 
With reasons based on hate and masochism  
This ism and schism is a prison 
but not for body for your mind aint the first time 
They kept ya ruled and schooled and fooled by the mules of empire 
While them fire while they acquire its the entire scheme thats deemed as the only option the states corruption with no disruption by the masses in a daydream running downstream towards the fall with no boat and no paddle  
And no hope of running back they’re on the attack and we’re trapped by a myriad of lies disguised as wise its the device that holds your demise

We Stand Up

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.
