(Ay)

(Ay)

Me nah watch no face, beg no more pardon

A nuff drugs money deh a Cherry Garden

Nuff individual society applauding

You can ask anybody where them get them start in

But nuff politician take the donation

So nuff criminal will never see a station

Never see a cell, not even a courthouse

But a every Sunday we see them take the boat out (ay)

North coast resort and car dealership

The construction company dem just don't legit

Use it wash the money, turn it 'round and hide it

When the kickback dem come in, the government delighted

So

Police cancel operation

'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station

Now if you check the situation (ay)

A blood money run the nation

Come take a look inna Jamaica

Injustice in the place now

If what you see no really faze you (ay)

Then you a the problem that we face too

Was 'bout to buy an X6 you know

Maybe then I'd never have to be prisoner

Maybe then I coulda not turn in my firearm

Police couldn’t come remand

Come in like me run an army (ay)

Was 'bout to be a politician too

Maybe then I coulda make any decision, look

Maybe then I'd make a hundred million disappear

Then me act like me nuh care

Watch you vote me back in there (ay)

Because the sad reality

Inna Jamaica, say your status is your salary

Man deh road a carry one whole heap a felony

But them have a family a boost up the economy

So

Police cancel operation

'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station (ay)

Now if you check the situation

A blood money run the nation (ay)

Come take a look inna Jamaica

Injustice in the place now

If what you see no really faze you

Then you a the

Is 'out of many' but a one set of people feeling it

How that real, society you agree to this

Things a reveal, the garbage the machine spit

No smoke screen a Riverton nuh conceal it

Now the system failing (ay), the gap a get wider

A matter of time before a total divide ya

You cross the line, man draw quick fi remind you

If you build it on crime then crime will have to find you

And that's how it's been always (ay), that no frustrate you like it do to me?

How much dead baby deh over jubilee? (ay)

How much youths did 10 when them run inna Tivoli

Now them 16, heart fry, head fricassee

So

Police cancel operation

'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station, ay

Now if you check the situation

A blood money run the nation (ay)

Come take a look inna Jamaica

Injustice in the place now (huh)

If what you see no really faze you

Then you a the problem that we face too

(Ay)
