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 |
