Darker Than Blue

Ready right now, Ready right now 
  Ready right now, Ready right now 

  We people who are darker than blue 
  Are we gonna stand around this town 
  And let what others say come true 
  Are we just good for nothing so them figure 
  Worthless shifless nigger's 
  We can hardly stand for that 
  Or is that where its really at? 

  Chorus: 
  Well, pardon me brother 
  As you stand in your glory 
  I hope you don't mind 
  If I tell the whole story 

  Ready right now, Ready right now 
  Ready right now , Are you ready right now 

  We people who are darker than blue 
  There's no time for segregation 
  I'm talking 'bout brown and yellow too 
  High yellow gal can you tell 
  Your just a surface of our deep well 
  If your mind can really see 
  You know your colour is the same as me. 

  Chorus 

  Are you ready Right now 
  Are you ready right now 

  Arh!  yeh!  arh! 
  Are you ready? 
  Ready Oh now now 

  Dry your weeping eyes 
  Cause we are on the rise 
  Head up to the sky 
  Keep your eyes upon prize 
  Jah Jah is the power and the glory 
  Giving us a brand new story 
  No mek tribal war destroys we 
  Let's bring about some unity. 

  Yeah, Yeah! 

  We People of African blue 
  It's now time to seize the land 
  That's been long time overdue 
  Politician 'pon a mission 
  They conjuring up corruption 
  So long we've been denied 
  And were just not satisfied 

  Chorus 

  Ready right now

  In a Zimbabwe,Mozambique and South Africa 
  Sierre Leone and Ivory Coast and Liberia oh yeah
