Warn Dem - Tanya Stephens (坦娅·斯蒂文斯)[00:00:00]
Written by:V. Stephenson/A. Henton[00:00:01]
Things bad now but trust me them could get worse[00:00:02]
Unless of course we come together and do something first[00:00:05]
And all mothers wan pray[00:00:07]
Cause it a go tech a lot more than a politician to save the day[00:00:08]
So when the youths dim need a buss give them opportunity first[00:00:12]
Cause if them siding and a lust it nah go safe fee none of us[00:00:15]
And all the guns wen used to rust a go rise up from the dust[00:00:18]
Police and soldiers half fee duck when them hear the guns a buss[00:00:21]
War a gangway in Iraq men nu have uh time fee penny that[00:00:24]
Me a watch the youths[00:00:27]
Dem peon the block a rise the sch and the block[00:00:28]
It uh safe gee go a shop even pick nee dim a drop[00:00:30]
Now tell me what we gonna do about that[00:00:33]
A long time me did a warn dim[00:00:36]
Say the youths dim need fee eat some[00:00:40]
Food a that can calm dim[00:00:42]
Dem never listen when dim hear a shot a drizzle[00:00:46]
Well here comes the storm then[00:00:48]
When the thunder start roll[00:00:52]
And get out of control we can't disarm them[00:00:54]
When opportunity mean fee wait outside another brother gate[00:01:02]
And when uh food uh inn yah plate[00:01:05]
You know your life yah a go hate[00:01:06]
Your value nah appreciate no matter how you hold the fate[00:01:08]
You end up crooked and a look it it uh pay fee live so straight[00:01:11]
Seven years after college[00:01:14]
All now job no come[00:01:16]
So you overqualified[00:01:17]
Still half fee live inn the slum[00:01:19]
Father dead you half fee take care of your mother and your son[00:01:20]
And your grip it all a done you load the clip inn your gun[00:01:23]
It hard fee smile with everybody wen yah meet everyday[00:01:26]
All when yah do good[00:01:29]
You still a get beat everyday[00:01:31]
No have no ten fee lose yah still den peon the street everyday[00:01:33]
If you go prison at least yah get fee eat everyday[00:01:36]
A long time me did a warn dim[00:01:38]
Say the youths dim need fee eat some[00:01:42]
Food a that can calm dim[00:01:44]
Dem never listen when dim hear a shot a drizzle[00:01:48]
Well here comes the storm then[00:01:51]
When the thunder start roll[00:01:55]
And get out of control we can't disarm them[00:01:56]
When we actions uh mirror what a come from we lips[00:02:04]
Simply means we must be a nation of hypocrites[00:02:07]
Politicians come from among us as far I can see[00:02:10]
If semen wrong with them then some must be wrong with we[00:02:14]
A we meek them a we elect them[00:02:17]
And all the crap them a dish a we a take them[00:02:19]
So it's a little insane when we start complaining[00:02:23]
When the bullets start raining[00:02:26]
When a we the creator fee the harm them[00:02:28]
Say the youths dim need fee eat some[00:02:32]
Food a that can calm dim[00:02:35]
I got care fee would treats me na[00:02:38]
Dreams for na ding well storm dim then[00:02:40]
When the thunder start roll[00:02:44]
And get out of control we can't disarm them[00:02:46]
You know what me can't gain tick you[00:02:54]
Say the youths dim a go drop the barrette[00:02:56]
Hell me me can't even promise you say me a go act better[00:02:57]
But one thing's for sure we can meek a effort[00:03:02]
And that at least we can do before we leaf earth[00:03:04]
Every boy every girl every woman every man together we can[00:03:09]
Every saint every sinner every politician together we can[00:03:15]
Every teacher every lawyer every doctor and every di don[00:03:21]
Together we can[00:03:28]
Together we can[00:03:31]
