INTRO |
|
Things bad now but trust me them could get worse |
|
Unless of course we come together and do something first |
|
And all mothers just gwaan pray cause it a go tek a lot more than a politician to save the day |
|
VERSE 1 |
|
When the youths dem need a buss give them opportunity first |
|
Cause if them siddung and a lust it nah go safe fi none of us |
|
And all the guns weh used to rust a go rise up from the dust |
|
Police and soldiers haffi duck when them hear the guns a buss |
|
War a gwaan in Iraq, meh nu have nuh time fi penny that |
|
Me a watch the youths dem pon the block a rise the SK and the Glock |
|
It nuh safe gi go a shop, even pickney dem a drop |
|
Now tell me what we gonna do about that? |
|
HOOK |
|
A long time me did a warn dem |
|
Say the youths dem need fi eat some |
|
Food a that can calm dem |
|
Dem never listen when dem hear a shot a drizzle, well here comes the storm then |
|
When the thunder start roll and get out of control we can't disarm them |
|
VERSE 2 |
|
When opportunity mean fi wait outside another brother gate |
|
And when nuh food nuh inna yuh plate, you know your life yuh a go hate |
|
Your value nah appreciate no matter how you hold the fate |
|
You end up crooked and a look it, it nuh pay fi live so straight |
|
Seven years after college |
|
All now job no come |
|
So you overqualified |
|
Still haffi live inna the slum |
|
Father dead you haffi take care of your mother and your son |
|
And your grip it all a done, you load the clip inna your gun |
|
It hard fi smile with everybody weh yuh meet everyday |
|
All when yuh do good |
|
You still a get beat everyday |
|
No have noten fi lose, yuh still deh pon the street everyday |
|
If you go prison at least, yuh get fi eat everyday |
|
HOOK |
|
VERSE 3 |
|
When we actions nuh mirror what a come from we lips |
|
Simply means we must be a nation of hypocrites |
|
Politicians come from among us, as far I can see |
|
If somen wrong with them then some must be wrong with we |
|
A we meek them, a we elect them, and all the crap them a dish a we a take them |
|
So it's a little insane, when we start complaining, when the bullets start raining |
|
When a we the creator fi the harm them |
|
HOOK |
|
SPEAK |
|
You know what? Me can't promise you |
|
Say the youths dem a go drop the baretta |
|
Hell, me me can't even promise, you say me a go act better |
|
But one thing's for sure, we can mek a effort |
|
And that at least we can do before we lef earth |
|
HOOK |
|
Every boy every girl every man man together we can |
|
Every saint every sinner every politician together we can |
|
Every teacher every lawyer every doctor and every don |
|
Together we can |
|
Warn dem..... |
