Tired fi see the youths them die

Tired to hear the youths them cry

Life ain't no joking thing
When you got your family to support and thing
Everybody want food in their mouth and thing
Wanna live in a very good house and thing
Got to send my children to school
Politicians can't take them for fool
All I can see is divide and rule
They can't take us for no fool stool

Apostle tell them

Babylon burning and I do not care
Take a whiff you can smell the Stench in the air
Knowledge is power don't be afraid to share
They shot us down in the street like a hog or a deer
Stand over our corpse like a Souvenir
Meanwhile I witness Shed a tear
Stole our riches them bloodsucking leeches
Bombing our school and burning our churches you savages

Rise up
And defend what's right
Tired fi see the youths them die
Rise up
And defend what's right
Tired to hear the youths them cry
