Dem Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Jah Jah is real!
Jah Jah is real!
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the whole a dem ago regret it one day
Every day yuh get up and yuh wish to have a meal
now you get a cut and yuh wish to have it heal
still you cannot accept that Jah Jah is real
Tell me Mr.Man seh what's the deal?
yuh say yuh have everything sign and seel
Thought yuh won the case but
thought yuh a appeal
yuh are the one who couldn't hear now
yuh the one to feel
evidently clear we choppin down your shield
Dem ain't going nowhere no time soon
Dem corrupt the east
and now dem turn it to the moon
Planting your garden and
wish that it will bloom,
still you're singing satan tunes
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the whole a dem ago regret it one day
Mother earth was meant for man and woman to stay
me find out nuff a dem a drifting away
Children can't even find a place fi play
birds can't find no seeds, horses no hay
I see the weavers weaving but dem income delay
still me see dem searching for a brighter day
and now me come fi give it to yuh right away
Do yuh hear what I say?
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the whole a dem ago regret it one day
Whapen' then?
Gi me the mic deh for a moment
mek me talk to dem
And watch the eden dem a scatter
when we walk to dem
And if yuh know you're no guilty
stand up and don't yuh run, no no
To all my foes and friends
yuh may live to see today
but you nuh know the end
Just read the writings on the wall
is a message we send
And Babylon will never live to stop
the rising of JAH son
Dem gone. so far away
Dem gone. the whole a dem ago regret it one day
