Inna jail, inna jail, tuff life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, secret life deh inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, ain’t no prophet inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, nothing proper inna jail
Inna jail, inna jail, all the laughs dem run so fast deh
Inna jail, inna jail, ain’t no first and super class deh
Inna jail, inna jail, unno cyaan forget your past deh
Inna jail, inna jail, only the fittest a go last deh
Dem say jail a mek yuh change,
Jail a mek yuh pay the cost
Forget everything yuh leave,
The whole a dem a get lost
Sometimes life is so strange,
Stranger is what we do we own
We build slum and penitentiaries
And dead man town
So who’s the wrong, who’s the right
Why dem judge a man just at first sight
And who’s the wrong, who’s the right
Why dem steal innocent man a life time
Who’s the wrong, who’s the right
Truth not always behind the eyes
And who’s the wrong, who’s the right
We mos affi know why, when and how deh
Dem a bit, dem a chat,
Dem a split, dem a part
Dem a try fi push we down
Dem a hit, dem a talk,
Dem a push, dem a lack
Dem a jail we inna dem town
Man to man the same old story
Man to man is so unjust
Babylon yuh never have to trust
And if a man is a man
Tell me what is a man
If him got to count him days
Many more behind the bars of a jail
A go damn all dem praise
Peace and love de pon your lips
And yuh cyaan stand a face to face
Point me, point dem,
Enemies and friends,
Di youth inna rat race
Long time some man a go try fi explain,
And only few heart dem a know seh fi real
Inna dis, inna dat, inna dem bwoy leer,
Babylon have a plan and dat is so clear
Black out, black out,
Dem a tell yuh what yuh mos
Affi do, affi tell, affi claim, affi post
Inna jail, inna jail all di right and unjust
Dem a mek yuh pay the cost
