Lyrics Shots in the Dark - Smif-N-Wessun, Jah Dan

Shots in the Dark

Say dem a program war
Livin' like beasts 'pon di streets
Some a dem weh dem steal for di least
Political conspiracy, bad bwoys and police
See dem know another one deceased
Have you ever faced sufferation?
Unemployment and discrimination?
Yuh can’t blame di yout' of dis nation
Show dem a better way than creating more killers
Everybody thuggin', everybody iller
Everybody talk like dem a di biggest killer
Every man go walk through the fire for the skrilla
High price to feed the family when you can’t look in the mirror
Figure it’s just the reality of this cold life
(Face the barrel of the chrome) Cause you the one they don’t like
(I see niggas in the streets
Pajamas and slippers like its sweet)
Y’all ain’t ready for beef
(Let alone a war, like its Zone 4
Should be living more, what you dying for?
Mindless murder, life taker, heart breaker
Bastard maker, forsaker, UFO, you culture raper)
Dem a program war
Livin' like beasts 'pon di streets
Some a dem weh dem steal for di least
Political conspiracy, bad bwoys and police
See dem know another one deceased
Have you ever faced sufferation?
Unemployment and discrimination?
Yuh can’t blame di yout' of dis nation
Show dem a better way than creating more killers
A baby cries (when a mother smokes)
A father lies (in a cell for selling dope)
Losing all hope but he try’na cope (Try'na cope)
25 to click, he at the end of his rope
And that’s the trilogy, him, you, and me
Cause we all killers, P-O-E
Dem a murderer!
Kill in cold blood, even his own blood
He grew up 'mongst them thugs in the jungle
No trust, no love
(Adapted to the hustle, learned to bust those guns)
Still we struggle, knowing trouble
Save our sons from the slums
While the mothers pray that slugs never touch innocent ones
Say dem a program war
Livin' like beasts 'pon di streets
Some a dem weh dem steal for di least
Political conspiracy, bad bwoys and police
See dem know another one deceased
Have you ever faced sufferation?
Unemployment and discrimination?
Yuh can’t blame di yout' of dis nation
Show dem a better way than creating more killers
