Lyrics Yaad N Abraad - Monkey Marc, Dre Island

Yaad N Abraad

Yea yea yea yea yea, Rastafari know
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh lord!
I say
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Well we no mix up, we no mingle with no guy we no know
Straight family man par wid so watch your approach
I nah tun off from the mission
King Selassie is I gold
I’m begging every ghetto youths no sell out your soul
And repatriate your mind
Africa is the goal
Straight like an arrow, Rasta never lean — oh no!
I nuh want not a spliff from a guy me no know — watch it!
Nuh go hear Dre Island drunk or parrow
Live inna glass house, them say you no fi throw stone
So I know we haffi trod out a Rome and know the road code
I man say
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh Lord!
I say
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad gwaan abraad
Light bill, water bill, everybody cry
Gas rate, land tax gone sky high
Corruption, destruction, political cry
More guns than shelters for the homeless child
Diseases have yuh wheezing and yuh don’t know why
Coughing till yuh throat sore, no cure in sight
Oppression, depression make gunshot fly
Worst when pickney want food and that cyaan find
Blood still a flow just like the River Nile
Daytime colder than the nighttime
Policemen a roam street say them a fight crime
Still no truth cyaan read pan the primetime
So physically mentally you affi strong
Can’t weak heart when you out inna Babylon
Got to stay focus and know your direction
'Cause outta Rome full up a nuff demon
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, it gwaan abraad
Oh Lord!
I say
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
I hear youths crying for justice, for justice
Yet you give them religion injustice
Just justice, just justice, just justice
Yet you bring I division, not justice
Same thing weh happen a yaad, gwaan abraad
