Whats The Word Lyrics

    [minister farrakhan]
    Mr. bush, you better check out your own part
    In the divine drama. you may find you the devil!

    [chubb rock]
    Listen.. cause in 1990
    Chubb rock and the gang is on a banned mission
    Hostility will rule like a jamaican ??
    And ooh filled with dumplings, hopefully no dumpings
    Like guns will be present while i keep the people jumpin
    Not too much, south africa isn't free yet
    I spoke to the kids from brooklyn to t-neck
    New jersey, and they heard me while i cursed the
    White minority regime, painted an ill scene
    Brothers and sisters over there dyin
    Mandela in a cell in robin island
    Thank god he's out now - and while i sing
    I know he has things in a full swing, yeah
    This year crumb-snatcher thatcher, we're gonna catch her
    Being a klutz, her husband is a drunk putz
    He acts absurd, now what's the word?

    "johannesburg!" (2x)
    "okay okay, come on." (6x)
    "if he's the president, pullin out my ray-gun" -> chuck d

    [chubb rock]
    Listen.. cause brothers and sisters
    It's time for everyone to go fishin
    For your history - open a book and read
    Between the lines, don't recline your mind
    Sometimes i don't know how to make it understood
    That a lot of black movies have been tampered by hollywood
    So it's important take the name and date and step
    Research it yourself, cause you owe a large debt
    To yourself - your history is yours to keep
    .. or you won't reap
    In the benefits, don't let mr. rabinuwitz
    Sell you something with a sing, to get blissed
    Leave the rock to the nazis, excel in yahtzee
    Be a bookworm, not a bookend, cause men
    Before you have died so you can taste freedom
    If we can't beat em we'll delete em, so now
    What's the word?

    "johannesburg!" (2x)
    "okay okay, come on." (9x)
    "if he's the president, pullin out my ray-gun" -> chuck d

    [chubb rock]
    Throughout history, no physical might has ever crushed
    The invincible spirit of a nation
    And yes we are a nation, a different coloration
    But that isn't significant - pull a ligament
    While you're standin, pumpin your fist they will miss
    And crumble and remain in the cold abyss
    And now it's time for action, action is the verb
    The pronoun i will say scream "what's the word?"
    Now come on.. what's the word?!

    Alright.. i'm gonna bring in the aspect
    Of my man rob-n-o, the jamaica aspect, come now

    [rob o - patois best guess]
    I'm a soldier, i'm a soldier
    I'm gonna chase up ?? and run down botha
    Botha betta run him betta start ??
    I mash up ?? when he conquer
    Your gun gonna fire, come fatter
    Say it to the sky like a ball of fiyah
    Jah come foot rule over ??
    Gun gonna fire..
    .. i'm a soldier

    [chubb rock]
    Alright.. time for the american, english aspect
    From my man rob swinga - come now

    [rob swinga]
    Yo.. i wonder why is it that in africa
    The black people are the 2nd and 3rd class citizens?
    I mean i thought africa was black
    Isn't that what they told us in our own history books
    In america? i mean yo it's something to think about!
    They gonna tell me i'm black and i'm from africa
    Yet still somebody's tellin me
    I have no right to say what goes on there
    I mean i can't understand that at all!
    That's something to really make you
    Stop and think and say.. hmmmmmmm!
