lyrics

Unnu watch it mek me talk bout dis
Caa nuffa dem dem a big hypocrite
claim say dem no like violence
silence

Dem claim say dem no like di bag a killing no oh oh
Dem claim di government naa do enough fi help di po
Dem claim Jamaica corrupt church politics & so
Dem disassociate mentally from the flow

Dem meditation is why di nation naa grow
A bun out police while di gun man inna dem house
And a cry out fi peace inna streets tell me now
What will the country reap if a this we all a sow

Chorus
Jehova tell me what must I say
I love my people but they wont obey
I cry I cry at night time I pray
So I sing these songs and I hope they will hea hea

To di youth dem
Di one inna gang and di man weh recruit dem
Me a talk bout may pen
Tower hill, maverly right back dung to granspen
No a unnu don't condem
Don't mek poverty mek yu kill a next bredrin
And end up inna problem
Inna cell lock dung with one bag a man friend
Dat don't mek no sense
It worse when yu have all yu woman and children
Youth dun wid di violence
We a kings and queens and lion and lioness
We a die inna silence
Nobody naa talk up fire bun dis quietness
Me a speak my mind inna all these rhymes
If yu hear me somebody shout yes

Chorus

Suppose me tell yu say yu winning right now
A real talk I'm not kidding right now
Everyday dat yu rise up yu winning right now
A your life a your choice me a beg unnu fi be wise now
