Carry mi granny round Kingston city
And she don't really like what she see
She remember when she use to feel safe
When she step out with her three pickney
Grandson why o why we cant live like those days
No no no son tell me why why we cant get peace in the place
No no no
Say we nuh haffi live inna nuh fear cuh the bad bwoy inna shoot out
No that nah fix things
Innoncent body a drop a ground some likkle bad we need fi root out
The follytricks nah guh fix things
And if you ever chop the branches of a tree
Granny seh more branch a guh spring up
So officer nuh shoot the youth them in the street
Cuh three more gun mon a guh lift up
And when mi carry mi granny round Kingston city
No she didn't really like she see noo
She remember when she use to feel safe
When she step out with her three pickney
Grandson why o why we cant live like those days
No no no son tell me why o why we cant get peace in the place
No no no
Mi seh the gun mon and the don them gettin
Wickeda wickeda and wild
The gun mon n the don them have the big 45
Dance ah keep round a kph ward
Dance a keep round a cornwall reginal
And the gun mon a line up and cant find park
The commissioner have the place just a skank and a rock
We pass curfew and them cant lock it off
The doctor lock the gate and yeh the promoter them a laugh
The drinks them sell off and the place rampack
And likkle affa that the pawty deh ya duffcott
Beem!
Dance a keep round kph ward
Dance a keep round cornwall reginal
And when mi carry mi granny round Kingston city
No she didn't really like she see noo
She remember when she use to feel safe
Now a state of emergency
Grandson why o why we cant live like those days yeh
No no no son tell me why o why we cant get peace in the place
No no no
Mi seh the doctor them a try them best fi dress the wounds
But these wounds go deeper then the flesh
(povery have them a stress)
So nuh badda blame the likkle youth
Cuh crime start inna congress
And a no Politician a take notice
Cuh the gun shot a chase way the tourist
And them always try fi hide the ghetto story
And a long time we a cry and them ignore we
Nuh badda fight your bredren
Nuh badda kill ya likkle bredda do nuh do it
And live in love with your sistren
And when mi carry mi granny round Kingston city
No she didn't really like what she see noo
She remember when she use to feel safe
Now a state of emergency
Grandson why o why we cant live like those days yeh
No no no son tell me why o why we cant get peace in the place
No no no
