| Did it ever occur to you
|
| The wrong segregation have done to one and all
|
| (no segregation, no segregation)
|
| Brothers hating brothers
|
| And sisters hating sisters too
|
| (no segregation, no segregation)
|
| Seen some ladies off the street
|
| With very, very, very sad faces
|
| I said lady, lady, lady, lady tell me
|
| What’s happening to your faces
|
| She said joseph, Joseph, Joseph
|
| Can’t you see that I’m a widow?
|
| (Then I turn and say)
|
| What takin place with your husband
|
| Or what a gwaan with your boyfriend?
|
| (Oh so sad pretty pretty lady still)
|
| She said my husband’s gone to war
|
| And I’m left alone to take care of the children
|
| (no segregation)
|
| And so because of that
|
| This one have a gun
|
| That one have a gun hey hey
|
| Tell me what’s going on
|
| Children just can’t grow like that in the ghetto. |
| What?
|
| This one have a gun
|
| That one have the gun hey
|
| Tell me what’s going on
|
| It’s been said in Africa
|
| It takes a village to grow a child
|
| (no segregation, no segregation)
|
| But if you councel a man child today
|
| They introduce a thing called child abuse
|
| And because of that
|
| This one have a gun
|
| That one have the gun
|
| Tell me whats going on
|
| (Nowadays in society where mak de
|
| Where the bwoy them?)
|
| This one have a gun
|
| That one have the gun
|
| Hey I don’t know whats going on
|
| It is said in the good old bible
|
| Save not the rod and spoil the child
|
| (no segregation, no segregation)
|
| But it is better for us to teach them well and scold them
|
| And bring them up in the right way (oh yeah, oh yeah)
|
| Never let them run too wild in the ghetto
|
| But grow them under control
|
| Otherwise this is what you’ll see brothers
|
| This one have a gun
|
| That one have a gun… |
