Bugle and The Prophet
Red hot
Class in session (class in session)
A that we there pon
To whom this may concern
Who this may concern
Hear the man say
Hear the man say
Say if a never hopes
A lot of people woulda dead
Because a hopes alone we have
Not even bread fi go a we bed
Yes, a hopes anuh water
When you see we boat afloat
A never maturity, anuh growth
Oh yes, a hopes more while when you see some man a cope
Inna recent time me see nuff let go and draw fi the rope
Like serious, anuh joke thing
Man coping and hoping
Dem locked door will open
Dem still provoking
We talk, dem blame it on whatever we smoking
Mental disorder dem diagnosing
Don't watch dem outward appearance, that's just clothing
Time is the master, dem wall a close in
What kind of world this
When nuh design fi minority survive?
You see when dem do what you say
You're not supposed to strive
I see a lot of people out here mixing nest with hive
Dem doe dead, so dem a live but still not alive
It's not time now to be neutral, so get yourself in drive
It's either we or dem, so pick your side
The battle yah a David and Goliath
Me nuh lamp so me nuh quiet
We buy your hopes, your promises, but still we nuh go bias
More time you see poor people mawga go down, never diet
From me born dem already limit we years weh we fi die at
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world
Hear the man say, yeah (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world
Red hot, yeah (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world (small world)
Who do you think you are?
They can't stop the hands of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Can't stop the hands of time
Aright then
How dem say dem practice all now dem nuh preach?
How dem say dem strong still dem spiritually weak?
Say dem a educator, all now then nuh teach
Say dem have the vision is like dem still a peep
And a glorify folly and a gwaan like we nuh see it
Enough ghetto youths have been dying in the street
Oh, you never sow but still you want reap
Weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth
Dem never start the journey and dem done like last week
And dem say First Amendment, then why we can't speak?
Bugle and Capleton come fi beat and teach
A how dem a go manage, 'cause the one yah can't beat?
Dem petty thief say him thieve too much
Tell the liard pastor him preach too much
And if a equal rights, dem nuh do it so much
Tell Mr. Watchman seh him peep too much, oh (oh, oh)
Tell Mr. Sluggard him sleep too much
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world
Hear the man say (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world
Yeah, yeah (small world)
Hear the man say
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world
Very small (world)
Negative dem always promoting
Like the picture dem posing
If it don't positive, nuh put my nose in
More you live, more you learn
So, I'm still growing
Watch the seed dem you sowing
Dem nuh like the truth so dem say we boring
But Babylon a sell-out, dem a most fraud
Oh, me do it for a just cause
Yeah, Babylon a cuss hard
Red hot, dem a draw the face card
Red and Green and Gold, my goal is like the mustard
Be careful how you back up inna the truck yard
Make sure you nuh lean and straight like arrow
Make sure your brains don't push out in a barrow
Make sure you nuh make dem Coke out and Paro
Make sure your meditation a narrow
Full time you lift the people dem out of the sorrow
Make me tell dem one more thing again
Alright, see it yah
They can't stop the hands of time
Yeah, yeah, yeah
They can't stop the hands of time
Living in a small world (small world)
Woah, woah, woah
(Who do you think you are?)
Living in a small world (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world (small world)
Who do you think you are?
We living in a small world (small world)
King Shango and Bugle
Act like a fire can't cool
Rasta send them to the school
Tell dem learn the golden rule
