Dub Mentality - Asian Dub Foundation

Dub is the place we come to argue and debate

It isn’t just a backdrop for our herbal intake

And in this time we fill the space with noise

Black noise will be a sound you can’t avoid

We’re raising our voices to reflect our reality

Using dub as our foundation

'Cos we’ve got dub mentality.

Listen to the sound of the drum and the bass

Different communities meet up in the same place

We are mixing the flavour to suit every taste

This music have de power for all of the human race.

Dub is the teacher

Jungle is the preacher

Dub education through de jungle a go reach ya.

Cut and splice and regeneration

Militant mix and equalisation

These are the methods for a serious operation

Pushing back the borders of your musical civilisation

So listen without prejudice and without delay

To the sound of the Asian Dub Foundation today…

And in this time we fill the space with noise

Black noise will be a sound you can’t avoid …
