Lyrics
From the streets of Jamaica coming live and direct
Proto, Diggy deh yah, we no need no mic check
Step inna the place, no bother disrespect
Just a warn the ghetto youths about the choice weh dem a make
Boom!
Lordy, lordy, nah join no party
Look what the politician dem do to Claudy
Look what the politician dem do to Jim
Him son resurrect it and look what dem do to him
'Cause they will use and dispose of you
Those who are close to you
If you choose to trod the road, you know
So, brother brother, if you war tonight
Carry the scars of a Garveyite
Carry the fire of a Melchezidek
When your mind get a chance, represent
'Cause you might a no pass the present, so
No take dem class, love you pass, dem resent you
Waan make it fast, so dem lost every cent too
So we go back to the ancient ways
Untold secrets that remained unchanged
Mentally get unchained, a one goal, a one aim
A the same wha' you saying
Got to stay true to the things you know are right
Nothing worth a gain you attain by sudden flight
Brother, keep your goals in sight (True, true)
Even in the darkest night (True dat)
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
Dat's why me speak, enuh (Oh!)
Mercy me, dem corrupt and covetous
Sneak up from mi eye deh a mi knee and one thing that you a see
The intellect a play up pon the poor poverty
Nobody nah dance to a two-party
Oppression, brainwashing and nefarious schemes
To keep the have-nots where they think they ought to be
I man, your promises a better when the poll time close
Then a back to the same after we nuh announce
Rocks down a river bottom, never now say so not
So many a mi brother dem trapped inna the pipe
Glock full of shot, but no food inna pot
Wa-wa-wa-what kind of livity that?
I and I a holler straight up, wake up, sons of Jacob
Lay down their arms, real tools haffi take up
Stay up, way up, sons of Jacob
Time to show the cowards what we're made of
Got to stay true to the things you know are right
Nothing worth a gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister, keep your goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
So you've made it, tell me what's the basis
Thinking it's so basic, cruising in the Asics
No, that's an illusion in the matrix
When you miss the payments, they gon' come and claim it
You haffi be focused, keep the brain fit
Keep the flame lit, never twist it when you aim it
So what I'm saying, simple and it plain
It all look the same when it flushing down the drain
Watch them as them strutting up the lane
With the rope-gold chain, chrome sup'n inna hand
Look upon dem face, touch a button if you can
Just fi try take your place, anuh nothing fi dem man
But that no matter 'cause another come along
And a run the place badder, hotter than the summer sun
I see the cycle a repeat
Playing God up in your palace with disciples pon the streets, ease
Got to stay true to the things you know are right
Nothing worth a gain you attain by sudden flight
Sister, keep your goals in sight
Even in the darkest night
Have faith in the Father, the One who shines your light
