Things bad now but trust me,
them could get worse.
Unless of course we come together and do something first.
And all the mothers go and pray,
because it's going to take a lot more than a politician
to see if they'll do it.
So when the youths them need a bus,
give them opportunity first.
Because if them say don't want a loss,
then it's not safe in on a bus.
And the guns we use to rush,
are going to rise up from the dust.
Police and soldiers have to go.
When them hear the guns are burst,
we'll war like one in a era.
Men have no time for pain in that.
May watch the youths and park the block,
rise the sky and the clock,
in the safe we go a shop.
Even pick me them a drop,
now tell me what we gonna do about that.
A long time we did a war.
***,
say the youths them need to eat some food,
and that alone can't stop.
***,
never listen when the rain shatters,
raise a foot when it comes to stop.
***,
when the thunder start rolling,
get out of control,
we can't stop.
When opportunity mean to wait outside another brother gate,
and when the food not in your plate,
you know your life you a go hate.
Your value not appreciate,
no matter how you hold the plate.
Ain't no crooked and no low-key,
didn't no pay to live so straight.
Seven years after college,
all know no job to come,
so you over-qualified,
still a be living on the slum.
Father dead,
you have to take care of your mother and your son,
and you grip it all and you load the clip in your boot.
It hard to smile with everybody,
but you meet everyday,
and when you do good,
you still get beat everyday.
You have nothing to lose,
you don't live on the street everyday.
If you go prison or leave,
you get to eat everyday,
everyday the war.
***,
stay the youth,
*** need to eat some food,
and that alone can't stop.
***,
*** never listen when the rain shatters,
raise a foot when it comes to stop.
***,
when the thunder start rolling,
get out of control,
we can't stop.
When we're actions,
no matter what can come from,
well it simply means we must be a nation of hypocrite.
Politicians come from among us,
as far as I can see.
If something wrong with them,
then something must wrong with we.
How we make them,
how we elect them,
and all the *,
*** a dish, how we a take them.
So it's a little insane when we start complaining,
when the bullets start raining,
when we are the creator of the harm.
***,
when the youth *** need to eat some food,
and that alone can't calm.
***,
and that the carpet pull a shot,
with the little drizzle go to the whole the storm.
***,
and when the thunder start rolling,
get out of control,
we can't disarm.
***,
ah,
ha.
You know what?
Me can't guarantee you to the youth,
*** a go drop the beret top.
Hell, me can't even promise you something,
me a go act better.
But one thing's for sure, we can make a effort,
and that's the least we can do before we left earth.
Every boy,
every girl, every woman, every man,
together we can.
Every saint, every sinner, every politician,
together we can.
Every doctor,
every lawyer,
every doctor,
on every dime.
Together we can.
