Weren’t long ago, they were calling man wogs, No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs, It’s sad what goes on, its mad I’m not shocked, Since there’s no peace, the violence won’t stop, From the bottom to the top, We’re all tied in knots, Can a leopard change his spots, Will the penny ever drop I don’t really know for sure, but guess what Straight up and down like 6 on the clock, Everybody claiming their G’s but their not, Chatting that grease ten toes and their opps There’s a couple paths like the city of god, So do the maths and weigh up the odds, You can live fast, get locked in box Everything stops when casket drops Claim you’re a boss, then you’re buried and rot. ••••• Chorus: If not now, then the question when: Do you strike with a sword or use the pen If not now, then the question when: Do you choose to begin or force the end If not now, then the question when: Will you do for self like you do for dem If not now, then the question when: Will the madness stop will it start again ••••• What’s the agenda, is it class, race or gender? All of the above, well its best to remember, We are all the same beyond the membrane we enter Nothing will remain we go back to the sender You must choose your adventure, Who will you become Speak your mind when they censor Following your core Keep your heart at the centre Things that you love don’t forget like dementia Pressure, It can build a diamond or act as a stressor Individual, can’t no-one do it better Get in where you fit in, look its now or it’s never, Either you resist or prepare for the weather Get what you deserve, nothing more nothing lesser One minute you’re here, then you ghost like a spectre Force and direction are required like a vector ••••• Chorus: If not now, then the question when: Do you strike with a sword or use the pen If not now, then the question when: Do you choose to begin or force the end If not now, then the question when: Will you do for self like you do for dem If not now, then the question when: Will the madness stop will it start again ••••• Wait for the change and nothing might come of it, Loss and pain, make you say that’s enough of it, There is a point you must leave from the mothership, Knowing your fate or you must discover it There’s a time, there’s a season, A purpose, a reason an ultimate meaning, Gotta search inside, find that thing to believe in, Knowledge of your self, know your worth and achievements Cause if you don’t, nobody will Recognise your great, you’ll be cursed like the Baskervilles Do you see the flame, no this is not a fire drill, Heart is a start, plus you must have a iron will Look its now or it’s never You must persevere, face your fear and endeavour, Recognise success in the same breath as failure Only one of you, so how do you measure

about

A rally call for uprising in a time of uncertainty and unrest. ‘If Not Now’ asks the question, when is the time for change? Haunting 8bit synth sounds and driving drums create a marching rhythm for personal and social growth. Encompassing their quintessential electronica / sound-system production, Capitol 1212 deliver a dystopian banger for the remix. Turn up the volume and rise up!

Lyrics:
Weren’t long ago, they were calling man wogs,
No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs,
It’s sad what goes on, its mad I’m not shocked,
Since there’s no peace, the violence won’t stop,
From the bottom to the top,
We’re all tied in knots,
Can a leopard change his spots,
Will the penny ever drop
I don’t really know for sure, but guess what

Straight up and down like 6 on the clock,
Everybody claiming their G’s but their not,
Chatting that grease ten toes and their opps
There’s a couple paths like the city of god,
So do the maths and weigh up the odds,
You can live fast, get locked in box
Everything stops when casket drops
Claim you’re a boss, then you’re buried and rot.

•••••

Chorus:
If not now, then the question when: Do you strike with a sword or use the pen

If not now, then the question when:
Do you choose to begin or force the end

If not now, then the question when:
Will you do for self like you do for dem

If not now, then the question when:
Will the madness stop will it start again

•••••

What’s the agenda, is it class, race or gender?
All of the above, well its best to remember,
We are all the same beyond the membrane we enter
Nothing will remain we go back to the sender

You must choose your adventure,
Who will you become
Speak your mind when they censor
Following your core
Keep your heart at the centre
Things that you love don’t forget like dementia

Pressure,
It can build a diamond or act as a stressor
Individual, can’t no-one do it better
Get in where you fit in, look its now or it’s never,
Either you resist or prepare for the weather
Get what you deserve, nothing more nothing lesser
One minute you’re here, then you ghost like a spectre
Force and direction are required like a vector

•••••
Chorus:
If not now, then the question when: Do you strike with a sword or use the pen

If not now, then the question when:
Do you choose to begin or force the end

If not now, then the question when:
Will you do for self like you do for dem

If not now, then the question when:
Will the madness stop will it start again

•••••

Wait for the change and nothing might come of it,
Loss and pain, make you say that’s enough of it,
There is a point you must leave from the mothership,
Knowing your fate or you must discover it

There’s a time, there’s a season,
A purpose, a reason an ultimate meaning,
Gotta search inside, find that thing to believe in,
Knowledge of your self, know your worth and achievements

Cause if you don’t, nobody will
Recognise your great, you’ll be cursed like the Baskervilles
Do you see the flame, no this is not a fire drill,
Heart is a start, plus you must have a iron will

Look its now or it’s never
You must persevere, face your fear and endeavour,
Recognise success in the same breath as failure
Only one of you, so how do you measure
