lyrics

Mi no have no hook fi da one ya naa
Just deh ya and a look how di ting go
A weh me see a many changes
Yo a bay strangeness
Kara affi state this so

Mi see di obeah ting get big ya now
Sodom n gomarrah deh inna jam down
Yo a bay bleach and tatoo
Who a sleep wid who
Like God no even matter now

6 real but 7 reala
Mi no rate demons only Jehova
Mi no par wid no man just me and JahJah
Fyah bun dem gang i a lone ranger
Hey, Karamanti mi no work obeah
When mi have a problem mi consult di father
Thy will be done a just that mi utta
And mi patiently wait till mi get an answer

Mi no bleach my skin cause mi love mi color
And mi don't wear tatoo be-cause mi know betta
see da freaky lifestyle deh not me iyah
One man one woman that's the right order
Naa sell my soul value more than dollar
And mi don't like fame low key me prefer
But mi heart it a ache when me see jamaica
We little boys and girls tun sea creature

They called to Lot, and said to him, “Where are the men who came in to you this night? Bring them out to us, that we may have sex with them.”

CHORUS

dem try anything
yo people are you listening

dem waa fi run yu mind dats why dem tell yu many things
dem waa yu think like dem & act like dem that's mimiking
and when yu start do that your inner man begin to shrink
mi waa yu medz how dem act weird when you object to things
as if you no have a mind fi contemplate with reasoning
but a no dat weh get dem mad is you not listening
to all di garbage dem a sell because you not buying

so as of now mi waa yu leggo yo just stop trying
fi get approval from the pagan and him evil links
a God a guide you and a carry you from mawning
so pan da God deh you must never stop calling
and you fi do weh me a tell you yo no stalling
caa dis is more than music this is a warning
a message from the most I i imparting
Genesis 19 i'm reading

When the morning came, then the angels hurried Lot, saying, “Get up! Take your wife, and your two daughters who are here, lest you be consumed in the iniquity of the city.”
