[Intro]
Yo

[Verse 1]
Catastrophic year
Stuck in a backward gear
And I need a little angst of life, yeah
The scaremongers scare
And from among us tear
Families from left to right
I got a finger here next to my index spare
And I use it just to speak me mind, yo
I'm just a windrush, baby
No time for complaining
So meet on the streets at night

[Pre-Chorus]
What do you mean?
I like my cigarette with a bit weed, heavenly
I need to dance, I need to cheer
'Ave a laugh and persevere
Just meet me on the streets at night

[Chorus]
I'm just a windrush, baby
With little bits of crazy
Alive just to have a good time, yeah
Whatever you need, facilitate it
Whatever your stimulations
No need to think twice or hide
I'm just a windrush, baby
With little bits of crazy
Alive just to have a good time, yeah
Whatever you need, facilitate it
Whatever your stimulations
No need to think twice or hide
[Verse 2]
Seventeen
Mummy came over from the Caribbean
What a being
Went university, faced with adversity
But hit the shubeen just to ease the time
You know what I mean? Yeah
Now the love is gone from the street
Can you not see it?
Just leave it to the windrush, baby
It's time we reclaim it
So meet me in the streets at night

[Interlude]
[?]

[Chorus]
I'm just a windrush, baby
With little bits of crazy
Alive just to have a good time, yeah
Whatever you need, facilitate it
Whatever your stimulations
No need to think twice or hide
I'm just a windrush, baby
With little bits of crazy
Alive just to have a good time, yeah
Whatever you need, facilitate it
Whatever your stimulations
No need to think twice or hide
[Outro]
Coming to Britain from Jamaica was not easy for me
As far as I was concerned, British blacks were lost souls
So what kept me going and what is really important is the values taught to me by my grandmother
But I hope one day you will get those values because you haven't got them yet
Some of the things you do still show to me that you haven't got those values that my grandmother
Passed on
And that is what is happening to the Black community
We have let go of the very strong values that we used to have
