Lyrics Tarrus Riley

Tarrus Riley

Beware

Beware for the Shottas dem strap

rastaman ah tell di youths dem fill low di Glock

Beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care (no ooo)

Its a shame to see brothers killing themselves

Wasting energy, should be uplifting themselves

Who's di enemy putting shots on the shelf

What we need is brain-food and belly-food for our health

So don't get caught up in a petty passion

Be careful of dem guns and ammunition

And let us make a change in meditation

Cause we could use the strength for cultivation (my lord!)

Beware for the Shotta dem strap

Rastaman ah tell di youths dem nuh rat-ta-ta-tat

Beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care and dem wi shot yuh inna yuh poop-poop-poop

Beware now the whole place hot Rastaman ah tell di youths dem fill low di Glock

beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care (no noooo)

So much gun crime man ah shot man ah night time

Read yuh head lines lord it really blows my mind

School children targeted in the broad daylight

Dem ah dead fi cell phones, also inna drive by

Police ah dead to, one ah day

Dem shot di sheriff and ah come fi di deputy (Gezzz!)

All woman dem nuh partial

Wah mek deh kill di old lady and di old man

Beware for the Shotta dem strap

Rastaman ah tell di youths dem fi 'low di Glock

Beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care and dem wi shot out you poop-poop

Beware now the whole place hot Rastaman ah tell di youths dem nuh ra-ta-tat

beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care and dem wi shot you ina yuh poop-poop-poop

Blood flooding the streets

Rude bwoys and police ah compete

Because dem turn to RAS-Tafari

Then all and all wouldda alright

Now here we go again

another man drop flat again

Go ahead and tell yuh friend, di streets nuh safe again

While dem searching for terrorist

Youths dem die for foolishness

Beware for the Shotta dem strap

Rastaman ah tell di youths dem nuh rat-ta-ta-tat

Beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care and dem wi shot yuh inna yuh poop-poop-poop

Beware now the whole place hot Rastaman ah tell di youths dem fill low di Glock

beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care (no noooo)

Its ashame to see brothers killing themselves

Wasting energy, should be uplifting themselves

Why is di enemy putting shots on the shelf

What we need is brain-food and belly-food for our health

So don't get caught up in a petty passion

Be careful of dem guns and ammunition

And let us make a change in meditation

Cause we could use the strength for cultivation
