(Chorus)
Why yo think crime cyaa done?
Because wi have poverty nough
Have poverty nough
Anywhere the crime deh
Member seh poverty did deh, deh, first
Poverty deh, deh, first
Fi solve the problem start from the root
And stop blame everything pon the youth
Before you fight crime
Make sure yo fight poverty first
Fight poverty first
(Verse 1)
Yeh man yo know a no the truth
When yuh come a tell mi yo rehabilitate youth
Yuh only meck them rougher and tougher when them a shoot
And a tek on yo troops
Cause yo ignorance waan dilute
If yuh no listen to the man wid the problems yuh cyaa desolve it
How yuh a go solve it?
Fi yo mistakes wi no have no more room
No have no one fi blame when them a sweep yo wid yo own broom
Yo no si seh yo doom?
Wa them digest a wa them consume
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Sometimes mi haffi wonder if mo too ambitious
Fi si them do something positive mi anxious
Divine intervention don’t mentioned
Cause Jah wi help wi if wi try help us
The seh one door close no worry cause a no nothing
But them close every door and nothing them no open
This worster than slavery cause wi no ally button
Cant solve the problem but too glutton
(Repeat Chorus 2X)
