Warn Dem

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
 So, 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?
 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
 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
 A long time
 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
 ♪
 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
 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
 ♪
 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
 Every boy every girl every woman every 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, Together we can
