| See dis ya riddim dedicated to my mother’s brother Andel who died in Jamaica
|
| He was a victim of violence
|
| What is a voice in the silence?
|
| But defiance and pure perseverance
|
| This is the black people experience
|
| The government’s — just legalizes gangsters
|
| Pushing their corporate agendas
|
| And I and I want to discuss survival
|
| Not just diss up my rival
|
| Cause if we keep acting tribal
|
| We will be dead pon arrival
|
| And the promise land is the very land we’re living in
|
| It’s all about how your treating your sisteren
|
| Unhh or your brethren
|
| Unhh in the times we’re living in
|
| (Hook 1 — Jonathan Emile)
|
| Inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises

|
| And we a talk like we sages
|

|
| Inna di inna di struggle have to give thanks and praises
|
| Cause we’re livin' in the A.G.E.S
|

|
| Yo, Cancer put the fear of life in me now I’m in the cut like austerity dog
|
| measure the clarity
|
| I recollect like charity
|
| Everything is everything like dolla dolla parity
|
| Remember when they wouldn’t lettuce / let us like a greek salad
|
| And now we cry conspiracy and say it ain’t valid
|
| The poor whites the black arabs and hispanics
|
| The asiatics across the planet its all panic
|
| Fighting the beast, take to the streets
|
| North to the south to the west to the east
|
| All up in the middle, hot like a kettle
|
| First they belittle then they carry heavy metal
|
| Its hard to change when all you trying to do is work
|
| The heat to your chest do more than iron your shirt
|
| The bail outs the bought bills by corporations
|
| The parliament and the congresses they stay debating
|
| Homie we are future, why we still waiting?
|
| This is our time, we’re living in the ages
|
| (Hook 2 — Jonathan Emile)
|

|
| Cause we’re livin' in the ages
|
| And we going through some
|
