Song Lyrics

Jah jah guide me from di hyproctires an parasites,
An guide mi from de enemies wah wan fi tek me life (mi nar go dead)
Ye though I wallk through the valley of death tonight (ah woo)
Thou art with mi, so everything alright.

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)
But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.
(Den not nice)

Me dey pon solid ground,
Dem nar go get me down,
Jah neva let me down before him nar go fail mi now,
Whole heap a youth in ya every morn a wait fi bail ya now,
Show de ghetto youth a way dem tired fi gone a jail ya now,
Gaazaa mii seh, nuh pound a labor yo,
System build de garrison an a we dem fraid a now,
Cause dem know de youth dem wise an nar go tek nuh talk,
Plus we born poor but we have to mek it.

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)
But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.
(Den not nice)

(Den pimpin)

Me done spot out de way,
How dem warn we live,
Fi de ghetto dem nuh do nothing positive,
Dem style we as gun man say we aggressive,
Dat a dem politricks so to we, we still bun politics

Gaazaa mii seh! till dem bury mi,
Right beside de whole a de innocent youth dem inna de cemetry,
Weh babylon murder,
Espically, fi every one weh job a thousand more a we. (mi nar go dead)

Please jah jah guide and protect mi, we a show dem love and them hate we
But memba the hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory
De system dun forget we, society didn't even care if we drink tea (mm-hmm)
But memba de hotter the battle, me a tell yuh a de sweeter de victory.
(Den not nice)
