Mi bun dem up fi real
mi bus di seven seal
mi bun dem up fi real'
oonu bettah know oonu betta wise my people
oonu bettah look an analyze my people
oonu bettah get up an rise my people
trample corruption and di evil Wooohhh...
Things and time will tell
Wicked Heart Which of us is going to hell
Yo, breaking all these evil spells
Nuff ghetto youth me see them end yo
Through the things that them a sell
They dont want the youth be prepared
I put them in the bottom of a well
And the fire burn and purge them like a shell
oonu bettah know oonu betta wise my people
oonu bettah look an analyze my people
oonu bettah get up an rise my people
trample corruption and di evil Wooohhh...
oonu bettah know oonu betta wise my people
oonu bettah look an analyze my people
oonu bettah get up an rise my people
trample corruption and di evil Wooohhh...
My heart goes out
To see the innocent life going down in the street
My heart goes out
To see the motherless cry and the fatherless weep
My heart cries out
To see the innocent life going down in the street
My heart goes out
KEEP IT BURNING YEA
They try to distort the minds of the youth yea
By disguise and disregarding the truth yea
And never even teach them how to plant a seed to sow a tree to bear a fruit whoa alright then
They give them big guns to shoot
Try to turn the woman them in prostitute
Rastafari couldnt go mute
We ago burn the fire ca we nah follow suit
oonu bettah know oonu betta wise my people
oonu bettah look an analyze my people
oonu bettah get up an rise my people
trample corruption and di evil Wooohhh...
oonu bettah know oonu betta wise my people
oonu bettah look an analyze my people
oonu bettah get up an rise my people
trample corruption and di evil Wooohhh...
Why see much killing whoa
And why see much innocent blood spilling yea
They even try to kill for a shilling
Come on tell them something
Cuz this killing is over with...
Is the destruction all over oil
Or because they want to..???the days of the night
So I want to ask them why they using the soil
We must burn them
