Throw Us Down (Edit)

Burn eeh ooh, burn jay
Yah, it's dem King Kong!
How dem?
Talking to the presidents and the mayors
Yo, that's the forward ultimate
Me a tell dem say again
Keep blazing
Woah, woah, woah
Yo, you a hear me?
Now I a hear

All dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
Nah live right, they cannot hold us down
Nuff a yah yah fi light, they cannot hold us down
All dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
Whole of dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
Nah live right, they cannot hold us down

Yo
Well, again
Jah bless we with the powers and strength
Give we the heads with men
Jah Jah bless we with nuff confidence

So we parents can be content
Pay the bills, pay the rent, every cent
Well, bad persons say dem waan touch mi pocket
But it never make sense
Still a defend the woman dem and chat mi reference

Warm to the old age and the children
That's why the fire really haffi set
And say again, Cho!

All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
All dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
Nah live right, they cannot hold us down
Nuff a yah yah fi light, they cannot hold us down
All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
Hear wha' dem a write, they cannot hold us down
Listen dem a fight, they cannot hold us down

Alright then
Well, I'm talking to the mayors
Burn the shackles and the chain, tell the youth dem fi free us
Free like the birds dem inna the trees
So me just go ask the whole of dem weh cannot see us
Which path corruption and evil dem a sponsor
So me ask mi question and me say, "me waan the answer"
Tell dem say, "no, no bother stir up mi anger"
A mind me haffi draw fi mi drum and draw mi banja

How you give youth dem coke and still a fight 'gainst the ganja
Bayas man me have yah pon mi veranda
Can't stop the hail up Susie and Sandra

Don't make the wicked man no stop from wonder
Say again, Cho!

All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
All dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
All wha' dem a write, they cannot hold us down
Nuff of dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
All wha' dem a do, they cannot hold us down
All wha' dem a say, they cannot hold us down
No care wha' dem a do, they cannot hold us down
Hold us down

So dem can't hold we down

'Cause Emperor Selassie lift the youth dem from the slum
Until the ghetto youth dem set fi beat the lion jump
One day, salvation, me say, it must come
One day, before the election must come
One day, liberation must come
No bother take it fi no fun
Me don't waan your gun, me don't waan
Your coke, me don't waan your rum

If you diss the fire man, a pure fire a go bun

Judgement
Well, me say lightning a come
So me say again, Cho!

All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
Dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
Nah live right, they cannot hold us down
Nuff of dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
All dem a hype, they cannot hold us down
Dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
Nah live right, they cannot hold us down
Nuff of dem a fight, they cannot hold us down
