DESCRIPTION:
From "33 Revolutions Per Minute" (1993)
Marxman were a four-piece Marxist hip-hop group with two MCs formed in London in 1989. Their lyrics expounded socialism and an end to economic and social injustice. They are one of only a few groups that combine hip-hop with traditional Irish compositions.

LYRICS: (Thanks to PaddyRedStar819)

Let me take you on a journey see where it leads
MC Hollis is the guide and yes I'm planting the seeds
Of cognition now your mind's awoken
Words interwoven 'cos of me I've just wrote 'em
On line and then I set the co-ordinates
I'm the leader so get subordinate
Otherwise you might lose your way and fall
Into another dimension the void of the small
So keep concentration and listen closely
We're all equal not the same but mostly
Some have forgotten that the race is humanity
That message was lost and replaced by insanity
This is a journey through the legacy of history
To understand is to change or at least to be
Conscious of our own shortcomings
And as a people you know the blood's running
Red -- so let's pause and rest here
And don't forget respect for the earth 'cos
We're guests here
You're drifting

Drifting

The words I use, the way that I choose
To live my life in flight and in cruise
The path is narrow but the chasm is deep
If you fall it doesn't matter if you're pushed or leap
So learn the rules drifting's for fools
Like a mechanic you've got to have tools
The decade ending 1990s beginning
No time for half stepping or for sinning
Winning is the only point of the game
So gather together and board the train
For the future you can't just blow in the wind
Or sit on your knees until the storm rescinds
I know there's those who just won't listen
Missing the point of the entire mission
Dissing knowledge smashing the apathetic
And this ain't dogma and not the rhetoric
That some MCs are prime examples of
Whatcha saying or playing at robo cop
I can't stress any less my conviction
My love of humanity stop this friction
At the end of this verse consider yourself
Well in check in a wreck of mental health
And drifting

Drifting

Now you're just drifting aimless and nowhere
Here and there you're lost and you don't care
You left the guide despite what I told you
But I won't scold you 'cos you couldn't hold to
The footpath and the darkness engulfed you
Now you're lost 'cos the 90s wolfed you
You believe the lies from 22 colour inches fool
To all of those still on the footpath I will say
Don't delay 'cos ignorance don't pay
Knowledge is the key to all your requirements
All your lusts and needs and retirements
Phrase is the guide that's had this experience
Atmospheric and deep and delirious
I know if you meditate relax you'll grasp this
So now answer to yourself as I ask this
Why are you drifting let this be your guide
And understand that as much as the path winds
It's inside
Sort of drifting...

Drifting
