It is a global crime
Not just for you and I
Not just by foreign and foreign

So rock the system
Colonial system

Constantly make man a victim
Oh no!
The system
Them racist system
The oppressing system
Constantly make man a victim
Alright, you lock we inna the basement
While you live up inna the attic
Think you coulda escape while you rob the poor pockets
Everyday basket, ah well one day me stop it
Can't see you live, but you can't die automatic, yo
Me plan me herb, you send your police to crop it
Try escape the system, still you highjack it
Gwan ship it off, and you road block it
How the hell crime fi drop and the food you nah drop it? Hey!
Over me, me say a long time me a mop it
Rasta love Sharon while them a sleep with Patrick
Everything me talk, F them haffi buck it
And Tony B, nobody can't stop it
Me a burn out the system
Colonial system
Imperial system
Constantly make man a victim
Burn!

The oppressing system
Constantly make man a victim
Alright, bless up me black fellow, you can't call him no foreigner
See me white Britney, don't call them Mariner
Look how near Jamaica is to Florida
Just like the hall to the room to the corridor
So tell me why them a build up them barrier?
Hey, police join inna black barrier
You kill the ghetto youth, you nah say no sorry, yah
A that them program for, a that them get paper
If crime no gwan, children go hungry
Me see them spend pon crime, so them build up them army
I, me lawyer call me, said crime pay three milli
And him get a Bentley
