Stand A Chance |
Where there’s, more hungry mouths |
Than food to eat |
It’s where the homeless |
Roam the street |
Where broken glass |
And broken dreams |
Are shattered and scattered |
Amongst debris |
Sufferation wrath |
And still they laugh |
And dream of a mansion |
Above the half |
No one to speak |
Upon there behalf |
Now tell me do they stand a chance? |
Where there’s, more food |
Than mouths to feed |
Where you find those who |
Claim to lead |
Because of all their personal greed |
They always want more than they need |
They don’t help those |
Below the half |
Instead they stand aside and laugh |
As if it’s all we’ll ever ask |
When will they make a change? |
CHORUS (Yami Bolo) |
Children lift your heads |
To the one |
Who create the sun |
My children |
And your light will come shinning again |
Show the world |
Jah love is okay |
When we rise and greet the sun |
Lets give him thanks and praise |
Illegal guns |
They roam the night |
In hungry hands |
Waiting to bite |
The first sign of Any food in sight |
Youths in the dark |
Searching for light |
Hard time they face |
Is not a choice |
Police curfew |
Is no surprise |
And with no one |
To be there voice |
Do they stand a chance? |
Where there’s, more hungry mouths |
Then food to eat |
Where you find those who |
Claim to lead |
Because of all there personal greed |
They always want more than they need |
They don’t help those |
Below the Ave |
Instead they stand aside and laugh |
As if it’s all we’ll ever ask |
When will they make a change? |
Its like a punk never check |
Or dem did forget |
Say a death |
We nature naughty |
Ah true mi go born uptown |
Tell dem fools don’t cross me That’s only where Cindy brought me And that’s why they can’t impress me With no boasty car |
Me know dat ah kill dem softly |
And then they’re not |
Really even who they think they are |
They’re not really moving crafty |
Mi get fi understand |
Say them plan dem faulty |
Well nuff a dem a twenty |
And favor forty |
Filthy rich big belly |
And hearty |
Di real Gideon will |
Be arriving shortly |
Rasta nuh beat Binghi |
Drum we claatt it We live longer |
Cause we food nuh salty |
We grow stronger |
And dem can’t assault we So haile Rastafari love |
And exhalt it WRITTEN BY DA |
