Lyrics
As there have been victories, you know?
His Majesty, yeah
Selassie I, Jah
Rasta
Could have been grace and beauty
But look what it turned out to be
Living in a closed society
Internationally interwoven community
World of material vanity, yeah
Nations of the world
Intelligentsia, sociology
Penetrating our community
The new world, in town and country
A closed society
A people who have been forced to shut down, yeah
Drinks and food selling like ganja, hustle smooth and quiet down low
Because of what we've been through, we know
Soon, they will be coming for their cut
Drop you in financial rut, rut
Forced to be a closed society
A closed society
Closed society
Intelligentsia who know not what they're talking about
Political misjudgement
Based upon projection of your paranoia and insanity
Closed societies, closed societies
Right up in the heart of your inner city
Closed societies, closed societies
Poor people been forced to be
Fisherman, net size, taxes
They say his money is too easy
Daily, facing the possibility
Of annihilation at the depths of the sea
They say his money come too easy
A closed society
It is true
Contribution to the place where you
Eat, where you live, where you sleep
One-tenth of the spoilment, chiseled in taxes, is valid
But thirty percent and more, yeah, yeah, yeah
Governmental agency come settle the score
You owe, so pay now
Or repo, repo, repo, repo
Closed society
Results be closed society
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
