Warn Dem -Tanya Stephens
Written by :V.Stephenson/A.Henton
Things bad now but trust me them could get worse
Unless of course we come together and do something first
And all mothers wan pray
Cause it a go tech a lot more than a politician to save the day
So when the youths dim need a buss give them opportunity first
Cause if them siding and a lust it nah go safe fee none of us
And all the guns wen used to rust a go rise up from the dust
Police and soldiers half fee duck when them hear the guns a buss
War a gangway in Iraq men nu have uh time fee penny that
Me a watch the youths
Dem peon the block a rise the sch and the block
It uh safe gee go a shop even pick nee dim a drop
Now tell me what we gonna do about that
A long time me did a warn dim
Say the youths dim need fee eat some
Food a that can calm dim
Dem never listen when dim hear a shot a drizzle
Well here comes the storm then
When the thunder start roll
And get out of control we can't disarm them
When opportunity mean fee wait outside another brother gate
And when uh food uh inn yah plate
You know your life yah a go hate
Your value nah appreciate no matter how you hold the fate
You end up crooked and a look it it uh pay fee live so straight
Seven years after college
All now job no come
So you overqualified
Still half fee live inn the slum
Father dead you half fee take care of your mother and your son
And your grip it all a done you load the clip inn your gun
It hard fee smile with everybody wen yah meet everyday
All when yah do good
You still a get beat everyday
No have no ten fee lose yah still den peon the street everyday
If you go prison at least yah get fee eat everyday
A long time me did a warn dim
Say the youths dim need fee eat some
Food a that can calm dim
Dem never listen when dim hear a shot a drizzle
Well here comes the storm then
When the thunder start roll
And get out of control we can't disarm them
When we actions uh mirror what a come from we lips
Simply means we must be a nation of hypocrites
Politicians come from among us as far I can see
If semen wrong with them then some must be wrong with we
A we meek them a we elect them
And all the crap them a dish a we a take them
So it's a little insane when we start complaining
When the bullets start raining
When a we the creator fee the harm them
Say the youths dim need fee eat some
Food a that can calm dim
I got care fee would treats me na
Dreams for na ding well storm dim then
When the thunder start roll
And get out of control we can't disarm them
You know what me can't gain tick you
Say the youths dim a go drop the barrette
Hell me me can't even promise you say me a go act better
But one thing's for sure we can meek a effort
And that at least we can do before we leaf earth
Every boy every girl every woman every man together we can
Every saint every sinner every politician together we can
Every teacher every lawyer every doctor and every di don
Together we can
Together we can
