Lyrics Good So - Capleton

Good So

I will not forget over the years a bere exploitation and penalization
We look pon dem, black people, and say a full time, you know
Fi certain things stop
So, we ask dem!
And sing
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
Like dem no due no respect to the nigga
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And lef' the youth dem inna pain and sorrow
Why dem teach we fi beg and borrow?
Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow
Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro
Teach we fi beg, and dem teach we fi borrow
Give we gun fi lick out we owna brother’s marrow
Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so
Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so
We are all one blood, me nah stop say so
Unity in strength, me nah stop say so
Unuh sing!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
Like dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
Eeh!
Hear how me look pon dem and tell dem say again
Watch this!
Wha' me say?!
Brainwashed education, true dem waan we get slain
Dem release the chain and still a use dem brain
Economical slavery have we under big shame
A x-amount of life just a go down the drain
Dem take the ice, dem take the pool, and dem take all we grain
Change we time, change we ways, and change all we name
But when dem see the Prophet, a me dem cyan tame
'Cause me no smoke dem cocaine, me no drink dem champagne
Yes, a wicked Babylonian, unuh cyan blow mi brain
And nuff of dem a gwan like dem waan take we fame
Mi sing
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
He-He-He-He-Hear how me look pon dem and tell dem say again
I sing!
I say, dem crucify Christ, it wasn’t a nice thing to do
Fight 'gainst Selassie and it 'cause big trouble
You know the sky, and the earth, and the sea trembled
I nah forget dem turn dem back pon Paul Bogle
And the one Sam Sharpe, and the one Nanny too
Dem cut off Tacky’s head and sell out Gordon
And anuh joke me a make, a one serious something
And a full time we know we selves, black people
And sing
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
I, eh-eh-eh-eh!
I look pon dem and tell dem
I sing, I sing!
Fires and flame, mi say, pon the heathens
Fi how dem corrupted all the children
Hand dem all type of blood money fi spend
Teach dem fi borrow and teach dem fi lend
And give dem the coke, and kill out Ishens
And give dem the hog dem fi nyam, inna the pen
And give dem the '16 and the MAC-10
And make dem go a road and shoot down dem owna friend
Me a beg the whole of dem fi help out the youth dem
And sing
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And leave the youth dem inna pain and sorrow
Why dem teach we fi beg and go borrow?
Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow
Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro
Give we gun fi lick out we owna brother’s marrow
Marley a prophet, and me nah stop say so
Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so
We are all one blood, we nah stop say so
Unity in strength, and we nah stop say so
Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so
Unuh sing say!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
