Yo yo you you
Haile the Iley one of Iration
This is I livication
To dupe to don, to group to gang
No bad man live long
Listen to the bobo song
It's Armageddon or revolution, but we got to find the solution
You nuh hear the bobo tell you say
A who shoot first a no who draw
Caan escape from the long arms of the law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Say you living fi yu life too raw
Who shoot first a no who draw
You a murder whey live a bruk law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Me tell you Haile Selassie I you say you nah
Bob Marley shot the sheriff and mi go shot the deputy
Every bad man mi say you life in a jeopardy
Gunman no live long look out fi di cemetary
Fi di new millenium the twenty first century
If you blood thirsty mi have love fi quench it
Put dem up front row, a back bench mi bench it
Waan free waterway, so no bother trench it
Hey, belly empty so how gun so plenty
You no hear the Bobo youth chant daily
A who shoot first a no who draw
Stop tell me say you a outlaw
Who shoot first a no who draw
You living fi yu life too raw
Who shoot first a no who draw
Mama say leggo badness you can't
Who shoot first a no who draw
Me tell yu Haile Selassie I you say you nah
Well the woman you rape last night a smaddy mother
The man you shot last night a smaddy father
Dem things deh it caan right we chant fi better
Me know you a no maker so how you come a taker
We a di role model whey di youth dem a follow
Me no waan dem think a pure killer come from the gutter
A who shoot first a no who draw
Caan escape from the long arms of the law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Say you living fi yu life too raw
Who shoot first a no who draw
You a murder whey live a bruk law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Me tell you Haile Selassie I you say you nah
A sake a you mama deh walk and beg
Hear say you wanted live or dead
Can't fi get the baby pain although you running the place red
People witness when you tek man out a dem bed
Blow blow and lick shot in a head
Never know informer would a mek news spread
Caan escape now you surrounded by Feds
Hang up badness mama did tell you say
Rastafari you fi praaise instead
A who shoot first a no who draw
Caan escape from the long arms of the law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Say you living fi yu life too raw
Who shoot first a no who draw
You a murder whey live a bruk law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Me tell you Haile Selassie I you say you nah
A who shoot first a no who draw
Caan escape from the long arms of the law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Say you living fi yu life too raw
Who shoot first a no who draw
You a murder whey live a bruk law
Who shoot first a no who draw
Me tell you Haile Selassie I you say you nah
