Government safe pon di hillside, inside
People a dead pon di outside

Starting tomorrow me a start t'eif
Because the war funded by wall street
And me couldn't get the school fee when me ask fi it
So me ago commit pure murder
Be the cruelest thing you ever heard of
Run through lanes and villages
Then me will the scholarships fi di colleges
That was the voice of African
Youth weh get tricked by babylon
Another youth fall victim
To babylon's stinking system

There's no peace inna war
Drive by inna car
They don't know what they are fighting for

So send the chorus go to Benedict

Poppa cry, mama bawl
They don't know what they are fighting for
