Alborosie - Operation Uppsala - Lyrics

Operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,

enemies of Jah them come to I and I,
tryin' to take away my pride,
his majesty was there and di angels of Jah,
we were all standing there in Uppsala,
informer and police dem rush I and I,
and try to sabotage me chanting,
but Uppsala reggae rise di wicked man shall fall,
cah victory shall bloom above them all,

operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,

enemies of Jah dem lock up my teacher,
him couldnt even try to explain himself,
dem carry him down a station,
abusing dem power,
it's all up an' down in Uppsala,
di flash light an' di badge,
di dogs and di gun,
di plan was to find di sensimilia,
di monsta dem nuh like,
my Solomon herb,
the truth is written inna di bible words,

operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala.

When we do good,
babylon dem no like it,
if we do bad,
babylon dem no like it,
if we dont move,
babylon dem no like it,
if we just stop,
babylon dem no like it,
dem want fi run dem a siss cah dem a fascist,
no dem no like RastafarI dem a racist,
dem never accept king Selassie dem a prejudice,
some police dem a move like dem a terrorist,

operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala,
operation Uppsala.
