Inna Jail

Rough ting
Long time deh
Talking 'bout the tough life inna jail, hey hey
Talking 'bout the rough life inna jail, hey hey hey
Real rat race, real rat race
A dem listen

Inna jail, inna jail, tough life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, sick weh life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no profit inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, nuttin' proper inna jail

Inna jail, inna jail, all a the life dem run so fast deh
Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no first class, super class deh
Inna jail, inna jail, unuh a can't forget your past deh
Inna jail, inna jail, only the fittest a go last deh
Dem say jail a make you change, jail a make you pay the cost
Forget everything you lived, the whole a dem a get lost
Sometimes life is so strange, stranger is what we do we own
We build slum and penitentiaries and dead man's home

Inna jail, inna jail, tough life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, sick weh life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no profit inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, nuttin' proper inna jail

So who's the wrong? Who's the right?
Why dem judge a man just at first sight?
And who's the wrong? Who's the right?
Why dem still innocent man a lifetime?
And who's the wrong? Who's the right?
Truth not always behind the eyes
And who's the wrong? Who's the right?
Weh must happen now when we out deh?
Dem a beat, dem a chaw, dem a spit
Dem a paw, dem a try fi push we down
Dem a hit, dem a slap, dem a push
Dem a lock, dem a jail we inna dem court
Man to man the same old story, man to man is so unjust
Babylon you never have to trust

Inna jail, inna jail, tough life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, sick weh life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no profit inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, nuttin' proper inna jail

And if a man is a man, tell me why is
A man if him got to count him days?
Many more behind the bars of a jail, a go dem all a dem praise
Peace and love deh pon your lips and you can't stand a face to face
Point me, point dem, enemies and friend the youth did not retrace
Long time some man a go try fi explain
And only few of dem a know say fi when
Inna this, inna that, inna dem a boil you
Babylon have a plan, and the deeds so clear
Black out, black out, dem a tell you what you must haffi do
Haffi tell, haffi claim, haffi buss
Inna jail, inna jail, a the rotten and just
Dem a make a pay the cost

Inna jail, inna jail, tough life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, sick weh life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, ain't no profit inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, nuttin' proper inna jail
