Fade Away (feat. Assassin)

When I see my friend become my enemy
I a stay far, no link no par

'Cause I know, dutty heart can't sweep with broom
They are like the trees weh can't bloom
And they shall slowly fade away, ah ha
And I know, dutty heart can't wash with soap
Dem meditation twist up like rope
And they shall slowly fade away
Ah ha

Well, I man a say, hear me now nuh Romain
Nuff a dem nah go like dah tune yah
Why, badmind stuck inna dem head like a tuma
Dem fake like three stripe 'pon a Nike made by Puma
Dem tell whole heap a lie, spread whole heap a rumour
Start grown yuh Natty dem a say you a crack out
Get yuh Visa you fly out dem a pray fi you drop out dem
Siddung a calculate wah deh inna you account dem
Say dem a yuh friend but dem heart wah map out
Romain say

Well, dutty heart can't sweep with broom
They are like the trees weh can't bloom
And they shall surely fade away, ah ha
And I know, dutty heart can't wash with soap
And there's no badmind antidote
And they shall slowly fade away, ah ha

Dem look how long we tell dem say fi stop fight
Gence one another nuff a dem come a act like
Dem a yuh bredda all dem good fah a fi backbite
Watch dem illi pretty soon dem a
Go gush out dem colours like a stop-light
(Dem cooler dan a frost-bite
Dem heart so dutty it wah fi scower with a scotch brite
Dem need a whole reservoir a jelly water fi wash off dem heart
Dat couldn't whole inna no wash 'pon a di stand pipe)

'Cause I know, dutty heart can't sweep with broom
They are like the trees weh can't bloom
And they shall surely fade away, ah ha
And I know, dutty heart can't wash with soap
Dem meditation twist up like rope
And they shall slowly fade away, ah ha

Well, granny tell me fren don't cheat
So from the other day you see fren we don't keep
A family we say because
A nuh everything weh come a show teeth, a yuh friend
Worst if you making money whole heap
Nuff lost dem way like the sheep
Back a little bow weep
Watch dem keeven quint, don't sleep
Cause any how dem slep you go see it
Wooy, wo wo, Wooy

Wooy, when I call you friend, I see you as my brother
Always loyal, but if I can't trust my brother enough
I a tell you say, I got to go

'Cause I know, dutty heart can't sweep with broom
They are like the trees weh can't bloom
And they shall surely fade away, ah ha
And I know, dutty heart can't wash with soap
There's no badmind antidote
And they shall slowly fade away, ah ha
Fade away

And anything weh nuh clean and pure we a cut dem off
Cut dem off early
Smile dem a show can't hide dem deceitful heart
Know them thoughts dirty
From dem nuh clean and pure we a cut dem off
Chop dem off early
Smile up inna yuh face, a big disgrace
We know dem heart dirty

See my friend turn enemy
I a stay far, no link no par
No link no par
