Protect Yu Neck |
Bulby yuh a listen |
Ready |
Protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh head don’t tek nuh check |
Protect yuh neck |
Look over yuh shoulder |
Yuh a hear mi now |
Duh nuh come out afta midnight iyah |
All inna broad daylight dem a tek life |
So imagine afta dark when di action start |
Wat a guh gwaan |
Duh nuh come out afta x-30 |
Dem yah yute yah well blood tirsty |
Nuh mek sun down ketch yuh inna town |
Tek weh yuh self now |
Ova war-rieka hill |
War neva stand still |
And inna garden |
Mi neva see nuh cultivation nor nuh farming-a gwaan |
Dem will done yuh inna kirk (dunkirk) |
All ova watahouse a drought still dem will wet yuh |
Is like yuh life nuh have nuh worth |
I look inna callaloo bed |
And nuh see nuh mo' vegetarian alone |
And get dis straight sah |
Chant for a safer jamaica |
Who name dem place yah |
Dem neva know seh word sound a powah |
Yuh got to be care-ful |
And protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh head back |
Careful and protect yuh neck protect yuh head |
When yuh come out afta x-30 |
Nuh trust nuh blue suit nor khaaki |
Nuff a pose like police and dem a tief |
Worst dan di klan weh wrap up inna white sheet |
Freaks come out anytime it touch dark |
Watch how yuh walk inside di park |
He turn she and she turn he some sight to see |
Swap identity and waah come mingle wid we |
New kingston |
Mi si dem a dust but mi nuh see nothing done |
For my people |
Still no one knows the reason |
And mi guh ask a hope road |
Still it was hopeless cause no one would hear ma cry |
Di struggle still continue |
And inna payneland burn di pain and mek wi hold a joy |
Get dis straight sah |
Work for a safer jamaica |
Sweetest land sweetest watah |
Dash weh di pirate cultcha |
Yuh got to be care-ful |
And protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh head back |
Careful and protect yuh neck protect yuh head |
Yuh betta protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh neck |
Protect yuh head don’t tek nuh check |
Protect yuh neck |
And look over yuh shoulder |
Mi well waah come out afta x-30 |
Mi nuh waah nuh curfew country |
Woman and man tired fi lock up inna house |
Well waah come out and sport all bout |
When wi come out and start party |
Yuh nuh si nuh one hot like we |
Nuh mek pagan mash up wi country |
in communit twist up in love and inity |
Shooters hill |
Di war neva stand still |
And inna garden |
Mi neva si nuh cultivation nor nuh farming |
Now dem will done yuh inna kirk |
All ova waterhouse a drought still dem will wet yuh |
Is like yuh life nuh have nuh worth |
And inna callaloo bed mi nuh si nuh mo vegetarian alone |
Mek wi get dis straight sah |
Chant for a safer jamaica |
Who name dem place yah |
Dem neva seh word sound a powah |
Hey |
