[00:51.298] Mr. Preacher man
[00:54.192] What you got to say to di nation
[00:58.093] Mr. Preacher man
[01:01.144] What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
[01:07.544] I've been a believer for all of my life
[01:11.789] But there've been constant conflicts regin my mind
[01:19.088] The people are hurting and crying and searching
[01:22.979] Waiting for a reason to go on
[01:26.150] And all you can say is go pray and be patient
[01:29.564] It won't be this way for too long
[01:33.396] Sitting and waiting to me that seems crazy
[01:36.543] Making them lazy in your congregation
[01:40.083] Pleading to a Savior an emancipator
[01:43.419] Whose very behavior proves you wrong
[01:46.399] So tell me, Mr. Preacher man
[01:49.970] What you got to say to di nation
[01:53.650] Mr. Preacher man
[01:56.506] What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
[02:03.656]
[02:15.330] Since the very beginning you've told them the end was near
[02:21.567] Fearing damnation they buy their salvation
[02:25.190] Not living while they're still here
[02:28.059] But you will have to ansa too, for all di tings unnu neva do
[02:31.485] Cause what you teach in Sunday school, you don't demonstrate
[02:35.268] A use emotions tie dem down instead a sen dem fi go roun'
[02:38.614] And live di words wha dem a soun', mek dem participate
[02:42.531] Mr. Preacher man
[02:45.022] What you got to say to di nation
[02:48.793] Mr. Preacher man
[02:51.562] What you goin to say when the youts dem turn away
[03:06.686]
[03:09.524] Di people caught up in religion, traditions of a people
[03:13.060] Who did hold us in subjection
[03:14.993] Rejection of the power that was in our possession
[03:18.203] Before all a dis regression
[03:20.150] When we an di creator had an intimate relationship
[03:23.591] Before dem even lan' ova pon di motherlan'
[03:26.530] Before dem even get fi ask di question
[03:29.857] If we needed dem religion, dem givin' it to we
[03:32.879] A look excuse fi carry dem infection cross di sea
[03:37.401] Den dem tek di ancient people put dem into slavery
[03:40.564] Rape and murder in di holy name of Christianity
[03:44.031] Yes religion is the tool, was the tool of the oppressor
[03:47.521] Cause they never plan to set the people free.
[03:50.515] So tell me, Mr. Preacher man
[03:53.271] What is your reaction to the problems dat we facing
[03:56.402] Is not no blame we placing, we jus pleadin we case in
[03:59.747] Di best way dat we can
[04:01.326] Please help the I dem overstand
[04:02.891] Please help the I dem overstand
[04:04.811] Mr. Preacher man
[04:10.774] Oh, Mr. Preacher man
[04:17.526] Tell me, Mr. Preacher man
[04:25.844] What you got to say..
