The System - Popcaan

Sad to say

But, white people ah bawl

Indian people ah bawl

Black people ah bawl

Chinese people ah bawl

System, design fi set we up

Yeaaaa dem give we di guns and

Dem same one come wet we up yaaaaa

Dre Skull wey di system do fi ghetto yute?

Nothing

Wey dem do fi ghetto yute?

Nothing

Every day another mother bawl

Dem don’t do nutten at all, yea

We’ve been suffering from we small

So

Some think sey a bed a rose

Through pretty clothes inna me closet

None ah dem nah see me pain, further more dem neva ask yet

Silence ah di baddest weapon so yuh know wey mi do, mi talk less

Man ah work every day dung ah wharf and a three grand a week dem a accept

Dem nuh waan me fi build mama house don’t waan mi fi own no assets

Sufferation everywhere mi turn so give thanks to Jah when yuh pass it

Suh ghetto yute don’t mek nuh silly plans

Believe in yourself be ah man

Dem waan we fi dead pon di road

Dem don’t waan we fi mek billions

Suh

If we sell weed ah problem dat

If we do a robbery a problem dat

D whole world a pray fi di problem stop

Nobody nuh cater fi solving dat

Innocent yute ah receive gunshots

Mama haffi dress up inna white and black

Oh God tired fi go ah Dovecot.
