Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah)
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone
Yeah (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
People house and dreams a get firebomb
Can we seek a resolution? (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
Why can't we change the situation?
Only Jah grace and mercy protect us
In this time that we living in, yeah
Trouble all a set pon every corner
And the gun barrel a spin
How far can we go? Only you know, Jah
The streets dem full of army, but no soldier
Dem willing fi take your life, money alone protect your life
Or a gun over your shoulders
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone
Yeah (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
People house and dreams a get firebomb
Can we seek a resolution? (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
Why can't we change the situation?
'Cause mama say she tired, she tired fi run fi cover
So she beg Jah make the cup pass over
Papa can't bear the pain
Him want the killing stop so him can work again, yeah
The youths dem a the future
Instead of give dem book and school bags
Dem end up as a corpse in a body bag
We want things fi change
But everything remain the same
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone
Yeah (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
People house and dreams a get firebomb
Can we seek a resolution? (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
Why can't we change the situation?
Come mek we break the cycle
We've got to break the cycle
The cycle goes on
Father, we pray for your message towards us
Open up our eyes so we can see
Those who are coming and straying to harm us
So we know when to flee or to fight
Sometimes dem may be stronger than us
But we know dem haffi conquer you first
The guns and the knife dem waan we bleed from
And lef' us fi the tracker dem fi feed from
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone
Yeah (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on (Please Jah Jah, won't you help us, Jah Jah?)
People house and dreams a get firebomb
Can we seek a resolution? (Lord Jah Jah, won't you help us?)
Why can't we change the situation?
The cycle goes on
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone, yeah
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on
People house and dreams a get firebomb
Can we seek a resolution?
Why can't we change the situation?
The cycle goes on
While the gunshot rains down like a storm
One more generation come and gone
And a next set of youths await fi born
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
The cycle goes on
