Money Over War
[Intro]
Yow Arif
Dis thing a get out a hand
So u see fi di '08 & beyond
Me waa house and car
Ghetto yute a money ova war

[Pre-Verse]
Hey, So who can't hear, dem going to feel
No shoot, nuh kill, nuh rob, nuh steal
Too much yute fall pon battlefield
A badman a talk
Me just a keep it real

[Verse 1]
All shower yute
All spanglers yute
Addi tired fi buy bere funeral suit
Listen to di Teacha, di truth a di truth
Jamaica nuffi run like Beirut
Wen dem sen fi di military troop
Nuh matter weh yuh vote
Everybody get shoot
Di system a bawl seh di yute dem a coot
But dem bere di fruits so a dem is di root
Nuh shame fi di yute dem yuh produce
If Daddy neva idle di son couldn't loose
But every likkle ting dem blame artist
We are di scape goat, di golden egg goose
Sipping Vybz Rum wid sweet orange juice
Me big up Portia and di Honorable Bruce
Big up everybody party
But my party a di one weh a keep in a Laroose
Nuff ghetto yutes waa work fi a dues & cya find a job
Hey, a wah do some fools
Build more factory, build more schools & give black pickney di necessary tools
If nuttin nah gwaan, how u expect seh di man dem nah go bruk di rules?
Every party come in
We a di victim
Unite and dun wid di system, nuh?
[Chorus x2]
Mother bawling
Son in a di warring
Wen body falling
A we a dead, a we a dead
Copper corn him
Madden haffi balm him
Cemetery a morning
A we dead, a we a dead

[Verse 2]
Wah day weh me see pon di news
It mek Addi vex, so me done couple Panadol, couple Comtrex
2008 an bere yute a dead, Addi waa see di 3000 like Soltex
Please ghetto yutes watch how yuh flex
A nuh every likkle thing yuh fi puff up & vex
Send fi guns & hear comes next, a gunshot & a duppy come next
Two yute dead, couple unda arrest, when Kingfish come, kill bird out a nest
Yuh nah nuh lawyer, charges a press, mummy drop a grung and pop off bloody dress
What next? Nuh visit yuh nuh get, cause mummy cya even buy 1 cigarette
Every man a dead, yuh nuh see yuh eye shet, Jamaica soon come in like Immaculate
In a 7 years 10,000 death, but a just bere ghetto yute skin a get wet
Shooting, stabbing and chop with machete
We nuh matter weh di cause is stopping of breath
Put down di AK, Macky an Tek & tek up di money ting, cashing of check
Fi sen u go skool, watch u parents a sweat
Your life, but yuh a dem dearest asset
Yuh dig?
[Chorus x2]
Mother bawling
Son in a di warring
Wen body falling
A we a dead, a we a dead
Copper corning
Madden haffi balm him
Cemetery a morning
A we dead, a we a dead
