(Intro)
Yow a when it a go stop
Ask dem a when it a go stop
Tired fi si mi people dem get treated like trash
Levity, yow a when it a go ova
Yow a when it a go ova
A when wi likkle cup dem a go full up an a run ova
(Chorus)
Wi deh yah inna the slum
An down yah hungry a bite
But still wi down yah a hold it
Tell yuh bout sleepless night
But wi haffi rise cause Jah, Jah, a the light
The slum hungry down yah a bite
Still wi down yah a hold it
Tell yuh bout sleepless night
But wi haffi rise
(Verse 1)
Wi deh yah inna poverty but too long
Si dem a deal wid the people dem like dem no human
Every day dem system cultivate a new gang
But mi a tell the ghetto youths dem there is a new plan
Ghetto youths step up, step up
Yow get away from dem gun
An mi a tell the people don’t drink dem rum
Hey don’t worry caw your time will come
Caw Babylon good fi left wi inna the slum
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Time is perilous an wi seet clear
Dem a pressure the people all inna wheel chair
Babylon a treat wi bad wi eyes a bleed tear
Wi life deteriorate wi need a repaint
Wi crying out fi help but it no deh deh
Dedas a chat a bag a thing dem statements it no ready
An when dem send five to the house one a wi berry
Mi sing till mi host but dem naw listen mi
(Repeat Chorus)
