Him done seem calm, the shotta shift him ounce and gone
And if him touch the route again

Take a piece o' evidence and plant it pon di scene already

A that me hear a echo round the ghetto
Hear it from a distant hill, response still
Get an instant chill when infants die
When them drive by in an instance I
And things start fly and them a (Try!)
