Intro:
Listen up, words up, be not so ignorant
Block arrogance to priest and praise Selassie I

So dem, play di music every night and day
Bad company will lead you a stray

Verse 1:
Yo mi cook di food poor people
Cook some out of it
Dem shot di innocent
Still nothing come out of it
Hmmm, speak di truth a dat mi promote of it
To cut di people flesh yes

Judge, you should take it out there hand
They hurt black people
And they don't care a damn

Prove dem a prove dem nah hold nuh faith
