    I just discovered this guy, but I gotta say, his backing band is awesome

      He doesn't always have the band playing. He's a dub poet, so sometimes it'll be his poetry which is awesome in itself. Whenever he has a band playing with him it's always top class players.

    He's unique in his lyrics and band is fabulous. I always look forward to hearing new songs with a message. Next time I hear he's playing in my area, I'll be there.

      Paroles de la chanson Wat About Di Workin' Claas :
      From Inglan to Poland
      every step across di ocean
      di ruling claases dem in a mess, oh yes
      di capitalist system are regress
      but di soviet system nah progress
      so wich one of dem yuh think is best
      when di two of dem work as a contest
      when crisis is di order of di day
      when so much peoples cryin' out fi change nowaday
      So wat about di workin claas, comrade chairman
      Wat about di workin claas
      They pay di cost
      They carry di cross
      And dem nah gon to get dem no_______
      dem nah gon get dem no ______
      From di east to di west in di land I love di best
      Di ruling classes dem is in a mess, oh yes!
      Crisis is di order of di day
      Di workers dem demanding more pay everyday
      Di peasants want a lot more say now a day
      Di youth dem rebellin every way, every way
      Insurrection is di order of di day!
      There’s a lot of people cryin out fi change now a day
      Don botha blame it pon di black working claas, mr. racist
      Blame it pon di rulin class
      Blame it pon di capitalist boss
      We pay di cost
      We suffer di loss
      And we nah gon to get new______
      We nah gon to get new ______

    the rich and people in power do not care about the working class at al they have bascially all the money and power even though the working class make up more then 99% of the world and the rich make up less then 1% and why do they get to live a luxuriousness and
    extravagance lifestyle while the many of the working class around the world live in poverty and suffering the working class struggles to pay for the things they need like shelter and medicine while the rich own mutiple million dollar homes and can afford to go to expensive private hospitals to most of the rich and powerful in this world the poor and the workers are just a commodity WE THE POOR AND WORKERS ARE HUMANS THAT MATTER AND ARE NOT JUST A COMMODITY TO BE USED remember rich and powerful of the world your lifes and lifestyles are not the only ones that matter in this world "If you tremble with indignation and saddness at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine"
