George Jackson, George

The day I heard George Jackson died

Blood was in my eye

Come mek we trample down the system

Was my battle cry

He was advised in pleading guilty

For the little monkey dollars he stole

And bared the scars of their injustice

The truth was never told ? no way 'cause

They framed him yes they framed him

Backraw back up George

Accused of killing a prison guard

Can't tame him no can't tame him

So dem lock up George

Can't change him no can't change him

Fighting for a cause now



George Jackson George Jackson

George Jackson George Jackson

Malicious Unjust society

He became revolutionary George

George Jackson



Seven year confinement putting up resistance

Because he was demanding his rights

Down there in the dungeon

Granting him no pardon

His parole was out of sight, yeah

They frame him yes they frame him

No three cheers for Uncle George

Torture and darkness was all he saw

Baton clap, truncheon make no applause

Rebelling for a cause now



George Jackson George Jackson

George Jackson George Jackson

Malicious Unjust society

He became revolutionary George

George Jackson

Jackson & Jackson & Jackson

I want you all to know

They never let him go

Want you all to know

They never let him go now, alright yeah heh!
