Dead Already

Crime get stiff

Man cyaa bun a spliff

But a life a the greatest gift

Give thanks fi the day when Jah, Jah

Blow breath inna mi new lungs

Enter the life of a new thugs

Born inna sin and iniquity, inner city life

A no supn weh mi too love

God know seh mi could a dead already

Jah, Jah, must a never ready

Ghetto mi live mi si blood shead already

Man ever ready whole a firm steady meddy

Mi witness nuff a my friend dead

Mi could a dead already

Jah, Jah, must a never ready

Ghetto mi live mi si blood shead already

Man ever ready whole a firm steady meddy

Mi witness nuff a my friend dead

Nuff time mi vision mi self inna coffin

But a voice tell mi no a no now it a go happen

Yo youth inna the boat a depend pon the captain

So mi seh mi haffi dweet before mi bone rotten

Bright light tell mi seh life too short

Cause a bay young youth him a berry an it pain him heart

Casha park to shadago park

The gun thing a dead thing listen teacher talk

Weh day mi go a my dog funeral

Mi a tell yuh seh the feeling never normal

Mi seh mi haffi squelchy go one side go ball like a gyal

When mi si him likkle son name Hal

Laugh if yo waan but mi seh mi a cry fi the ghetto youth

No fi government official

Youth inna class an yo pants tight an yo skin cool

Mi a beg yuh no drop out a school
