When Babylon a forward any numbers can play
Simple calculation ghetto youth equal slay
The city it's a cage and poverty is a chain
And when you study the case
A still slavery days
I study Malcolm x and I listen to Shango
I'm a reggae John Lennon
Me nah follow no Rambo
This a one story that ever goes wrong
Deh pan the charts without singing a song
A one tree many roots
Branches and leaves so I vision the youths
In the world weh we live
The abusing amuse me confuse me
I refuse the idea
Executed by on and off duty so!
Calm down listen to the waves
Relax and puff some grade
Officer sir remove your shades
Justice served
Change your ways!
Calm down listen to the waves
Relax and puff some grade
Officer sir remove your shades
Justice served
Change your ways!
Them fi protect and serve
Instead a test we nerves
Ink over nine still I choose my words
It's a striking game like hungry birds
So a next murder-ration is on the verge
Fake media talking
Racial confrontation are spiking
Forever nemesis like Christian and Vikings
So what I see don't surprise me
It's a new dawn a new rising
Calm down listen to the waves
Relax and puff some grade
Officer sir remove your shades
Justice served
Change your ways!
Calm down listen to the waves
Relax and puff some grade
Officer sir remove your shades
Justice served
Change your ways!
Waiting the clash between oppressed on oppressors
Waving the flag it's a new misconception
Here comes the youth fighting every oppression
Open the mic set up new session
Confined between lanes based on completion
Native reserves at every intersection
City like lock ups them call it ghetto
Them choose to degrade us more than respect us
Calm down listen to the waves
Relax and puff some grade
Officer sir remove your shades
Justice served
Change your ways!
