She have a sinking feeling when timing go down
Six foot six underground

Intro

Verse 1:
Politics of Jamaica a fi the rich man
Light bulb money [?] inna mansion

The book rent a school but me cyaan pay di cost
And me vexed how me cyaan sen him go no summer class
No bank account, that a dry up like grass
Me no go bank again, me just a look and walk past
And walk fast

Bare suffer, more than jesus pon the cross

Chorus



Verse:
See we come from the places where they make it hard
Everywhere are screwfaces from the crack of dawn

Rise and fall the ghetto stories can recall
Night creepers coming across the border
Heat seekers a penetrate your vest
Grim reaper putting your soul to rest

Cause we may seem likkle
On the map we're just a speckle
Jamaica top shotta's blaze fire inna di bakkle
We nuh stop tackle, evildoers we will rackle[?]
Even babylon we'll break dem chains and shackles

Outro:
Gideon
It's in my memories
Made me stronger yo seh dem nuh make me weak, no
Study the scriptures to the T
It make me know me forefathers never weak, no

Lyrics: Busy Signal - Youth dem free (ft flava unit)

 Intro

Chorus:
Cause what they want
Is to see the ghetto youths dem waste away their life
But that's not right
See the bigger heads a feed the youths dem guns and knives
But what we see
Is the little ghetto youths dem living in unity
Prosperity
Is the life we lead, youths teardrop free


Verse 1:
Caa the youths dem want upliftment, education
For what reason?
Fi build up di nation
Nuh want fi see no more lock up inna station
Teach knowledge to the young generation
Asian, Japanese or Jamaican
Black people I seh more elevation
Cause mi no want no more ism and skism
Cut out racism and discrimination


Chorus


Verse 2:
You know what
Dem a youth ya seh consciousness
Stay focused youths
No more unjustice
Politicians have di people dem under nuff stress
Full time now fi peace
Di war we must rest
Picture police without bulletproof vest
Youths a walk di street clean and nuh shoeless
All di thugs
To weapons dem clueless
[?]
Bare love and all di best, bless


Chorus


Verse 3:
We want peace and harmony
Get we palm grease cause we waah money
Basically, this one is strictly for the ghetto youths
Live up, don't give up
Wise up, rise up!
Busy!
Yo flava unit, wah dem a deal with?


Chorus

Lyrics: Gentleman - Wicked Thoughts

 Intro:

God gave man dominion and none a dem appreciate
Oh what a shame
Where is the brotherly love mankinds have annihilate ?


Chorus:

Why are you filled with so much wicked thoughts and hate?
Do you really think your life will dissipate?
Think about it now, before it's too late
Mount Zion gate , have to penetrate


Verse 1:

The wrong people die because the wrong people try change the world
And make the wrong people cry
Suicide bombing whole heap a smoke onto the sky
And to Jah laws none a dem ever comply
Let us show love nah hesitate
All of your hate and grudge, you fi eliminate
Instead of fi go under you shoulda elevate
And the gift of life, mankind coulda celebrate


Chorus


Verse 2:
Now you sit dung inna your castle full of sin
And your ego get taller, because a nuff dollars haffi win yeah
And your juice it full of gin and your conscience get smaller
Drop of a your stool and bust your chin
Say dem a rebel but me see seh dem a coward
Confront the youth dem with dem senseless riot yeah
Say dem a rebel but me see seh dem a coward
Ay mek we put a fire pon dem ignorance right now

Chorus


Verse 3:

The more dem get me see the more dem a want
Never put a seed dong ina the earth and still dem want the plant
Never teach the youth dem how fi chant, dilute hopes and dreams
So how dem wish they (were) never born
But dem ya thing so cyaan gwaan
That's why me and dutty babylon will never get warm
The whole a dem haffi face dem judgement up inna di storm
Until then, ah warrior chant come???

Outro:
God gave man dominion and none a dem appreciate
Oh what a shame
Where is the brotherly love mankinds have annihilate ?

One more time I say

God gave man dominion and none a dem appreciate
Oh what a shame
Where is the sisterly love mankinds have annihilate ?

Lyrics: Peetah Morgan ft. Busy Signal - Unfair

Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no noo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
No no no, noo

Peetah Morgan
And Busy with the organ


Peetah:

Tell me

How the youth dem fi go school when yo, we nah no money fi spend
How the crime rate fi go down when you import the gun dem
And street life hard, mi friend

Bloodsucking vampires, yo it's all about dem
All when the youths a bawl fi food dem care less mi friend
Sufferation to a nation, generation x my friend
Now war ya nah go end


Chorus:

Cause it's unfair to we
You say that you love and say you care for we
A false promises you come deh preach to we
Cause all i can see is poverty [?] guaranteed


Busy:

Dem nuh know how we youths go a school nor college
Facing collateral damage
Dem nuh know how we find the oat
To put inna di pot
And boil little porridge
Dem nuh know how we hustle hard
Fi get the little gum gum [?] plus the little cabbage
Dem nuh know how we manage
Dem nuh know seh that's why the youths grow so savage
Dem nuh know seh when we a hustle hard inna street
Haffi carry on though corn still ah beat
Dem nuh know seh more time when we ah run a boat[?]
Chickenback and [?] nah do it
Dem nuh know 'bout cassava, the quarter, the half a bread
Dem nuh care if we son or we daughter dead
Morgan heritage sing 'cause right now poor people heart ah [?]



Chorus:

Cause it's unfair to we
You say that you love and say you care for we
A false promises you come deh preach to we
Cause all i can see is poverty [?] guaranteed


Morgan:

But still dem nuh stop we shine
Nuh join no unemployment line
We a go hustle non stop because we born inna di struggle
Watch dem, watch dem, watch dem a try figure we out
How dem nah get we out


Busy:

Yo, the bigger heads put tax pon tax but that nuh ok
Then dem relax like that is ok
Dem even tax a box a cigarettes
Tax box poor people, left dem inna debt, yeah
Dem nuh care which part the youths sleep
Dem nuh care where poor people find food fi eat
Cause if a pan fi dem property we a go do it
Dem jail we or kick we a street
Alright then
It easier fi get robbed than get a job
Easier fi grab a bag than turn your own doorknob yeah
So when the youths dem lay down pon the sidewalk
A no dem, a di system a skylark


Chorus
