Then shoot you, dem never target
Only thing we get a pure ends, and turf, and borderlines
And we say, "One cyan cross it"
A dem contribute fi hold we down inna di slum

And bring in dem European doctrines
Want turn black people inna vulture
Dem make we lost our way

And bring in dem European doctrines
Want turn black people inna vulture

Poor parents work so hard, dem collect di royalties
And then dem go up a laugh and a live
But Jah never sleep

Never close His eyelids
Fire burn di check, and di mileage

That's why dem kill ghetto people 'cause dem value dem cheap
Then dem go up a laugh and a feast, yeah
Mama bawl when she see di gun di politician give her son
