I'm Buju Banton with the preacher's son
Who gave the orders
For them to go? All right
Who gave the orders?
Martin was shut down, ah, all right
Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? We wanna know
Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders, yeah
Questions asked with no response, ey, Wyclef
Who's gonna answer?
Where did all these guns come from? Tell me, ey
Who's gonna answer?
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons
But they will have to answer
Then what you gonna do when the Rastaman comes?
Where you gonna run for cover?
Looking through the window of my ire eyes
On this city filled with lies
Observing the people working so hard
Doing whatever it takes to get by
Then I look at myself and realize
That I was put here for a reason
Lord knows I've done my best and I've tried
We gon' keep trying
Who gave the orders
For them to go? Lord no
Who gave the orders?
Martin was gunned down, oh
Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? My God
Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders, who
Questions asked with no response, ey, Wyclef
Who's gonna answer?
Where did all these guns come from? Tell me
Who's gonna answer?
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons
They will have to answer
Then what they gonna do when the Rastaman comes?
Where you gonna run for cover?
Well, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What are you gonna do?
Incarcerate a million and only free few
What was done to others, it shall be done to you
Open up your eyes and you will see the full view
Work all day, and you can't get raise in pay
Civilly bodies being taken away
I wonder what the voice of the people have to say
Stand up and defend your rights today
Who gave the orders? Who gave the orders
For them to go?
Who gave the orders? (Who gave the order?)
Martin was gunned down, Martin was gunned down
Martin was gunned down
Who gave the orders? Who gave the orders
To drop the bomb? (Drop the bomb)
Who gave the orders? Who gave the orders?
No refugees across the borders (no, no, no, no)
Questions asked with no response, ey, Wyclef
Who's gonna answer?
Where did all these guns come from? Wyclef, ah
Who's gonna answer?
Telling lies to our daughters and sons
They will have to answer
Then what they gonna do when the righteous man comes?
Where you gonna run for cover?
