Cold City |
This one goes out to yard and abroad |
Guns import from abroad to the yard |
Dog a eat dog, yet a bere mawga dog |
The system is a fraud — memba dat! |
So why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
And man a reap, what dem never did sow |
And dem a say a true no money nah flow |
Why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
Politician walk with them ego |
And rude bwoy war 'gainst the 5 — O |
Swoop in, blue light that a flash up & down |
Kick off the door, fi go snatch a man gun |
Rude bwoys and police dem a clash a Jamdung |
Youth squeeze the trigger and him catch a phantom |
Corn start to beat like dem bang a one drum |
You better jump fence when the banger dem come |
Politician dem hear say that the quarrel just done |
Start distribute gun, a fresher barrel just come |
And Johnny say that him a hold the strap |
Chest puff up and a chat, him control the block |
But when him take a stack, is a soldier that |
Him get flat, and fire shot, clap! |
The soldier drop |
Boof! |
Him say him cold and him nuh feel sorrow |
Trod it on the road side that real narrow |
Phone start to ring then him feel paro |
Friend lef him pon the ground like a wheelbarrow |
So why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
And man a reap, what dem never did sow |
And dem a say a true no money nah flow |
Why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
Politician walk with them ego |
And rude bwoy war 'gainst the 5 — O |
The juvenile dem a run dem gang |
The thugs dem short but the gun dem long |
And likkle man, you might be number 1 |
But if you playing this ya game you better understand something |
Or a better mi say overstand |
Shotta a move like some soldier man |
Bigger dog start fi bark like a doberman |
Likkle dog have to run go to obeah man then |
Him gone a shop go buy a cold dragon |
Pow! |
Hear something pop like a soda can, and |
Him run up inna a colder man |
Weh a go lef him in the dirt like a pound a yam, damn! |
Full clip it nah go hold no blank |
Man a buss it til dem shoulder cramp |
Dem a play domino and as him pose the blank |
Him hear clank! |
Life couldn’t save a Scotia Bank |
So why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
And man a reap, what dem never did sow |
And dem a say a true no money nah flow |
Why down inna the city so cold? |
Only Ras Tafari know |
Politician walk with them ego |
And rude bwoy war 'gainst the 5 — O |
Bim! |
This one goes out to yard and abroad |
Gun import from abroad to mi yard |
So how politician don’t get hold pon nuh charge? |
The system is a fraud |
Yard and Abroad |
Who nah walk with the 'matic, walking with a standard |
You step inna the street then you better stand guard |
The system is a fraud, check the track record |
Mi nah stop record |
