Give Dem Some Way
Lyricist：G Lambert, Damian Marley, S Marley
Well, den a nuff ghetto youths dat got no place to go
Live night and day roamin' in the ghetto
Most ghetto youths aint' got no place of their own
Give dem some place so they can call there home
And then most politician tellin' poor people lies
And can't give no answer when di poor people cry
We get ignorant, we bingy drum dem go rise
Gimme some space so I can burn those guys
Well, then most politicians fightin' gainst Rasta troops
And makin' mistake and a tell poor people oops
See dem a see dem a flex like some dapa's and doops
Gimme some space to burn di nincompoops
Well, why should ghetto youths dem have to war over cheese
Wid these big machines that you brin' from over seas
It burn up dem skin like some unwanted disease
Gimme some space so I can burn dem please
And then a big fire stick weh all a mek certain sound
Pure gun shot me, a here a ring thru the town
Everybody wanna be the modern day Al Capone
Gimme some space so I can burn dem down
Di youths dem a jump to every word that you said
When gun shot a bust fi you pickny nuh dead
Dem vex true we hail King Selassie instead
Gimme some space and mek I burn dem red
Well, nuff gyal a say dem want fi come a stage show
And spar wid di stars so dem can jam a front row
Well, nuff gyal a love man just fi di doe
Gimme some space and mek I burn those hoes
Politician used and refused but we won't take no more
Never let you take advantage of the poor
While di youths dem in the core, cryin' out for more
You hide yourself behind your close door, close door
Politician used and refused but we won't take no more
Never let you take advantage of the poor
While di youths dem in the core, crying out for more
You hide yourself behind your close door, close door
Weh the thugs dem are ready fi di conquerin'
Lion of Judah is now wonderin'
How some punks stand up one side ponderin'
How di youths find roof to live under in
And shine like a diamond twinklin'
When they see me and di gyal dem minglin'
Better watch how you group and singlin'
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
Better mind who you feel and finglin'
We don't join goose and ganderin'
We don't join chumpas squanderin'
And the sound of the album crampin' him
Well, we don't play game when dem rampin' in
Better watch as my timb boots stompin' in
Tramplin' di camp dem campin' in
And ah burn out the vampire, vampin' in
Wi di, red burning lamp within
After so much sleep and slumberin'
Is now wonder di impress dumpin' him
Youngest veteran will be pumpin' in
Thumping in the club dem jumpin' in
So wah, tell the people your bumpin' in
Say wah, all mi colleagues dem chumpin' in
After sleepless nights of samplin'
The results can be life gamblin'
Now don't stop by nor stumble in the jungle
Where the royal a rumble in
Someone cookie jar will be crumblin'
And we don't mek room fi no fumblin'
Well, careful how your entire in
Certain after dark adventurin'
Weh, you might have to be surrenderin'
Mi sey all those jewels and Benjamin's
Weh di thugs dem weh ready fi di wranglin'
When the real Gideon is untanglin'
And a drive inna prestige handlin'
And a practice punk dismantlin'
And a trod go a Binghi di thanks givin'
Fi go hail up di elders skankin' in
Fi guidance you thru the world weh di punks live in
Burn the church weh di popes and munks live in
Well, judgment fi dem tamperin'
When dem grudge, 'cause a me di gyal pamperin'
Mr. Bean just find and brind her in
When dem can't find help nor hinderin'
'Cause di man wid di old big blunt a role
Deh yah now fi go burn down bumbo hole
Wid enough fire power fi di winter cold
Weh, nuh rise till the revolution unfold
Gimme some way and mek I burn those
