Warn Dem

歌詞

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.....
