Promises

When di youths dem cyaa find no money fi buy dem dinner
Cyaa replace di clothe weh dem inna
Wa yuh a go tell dem seh? Yeh, when a yuh did meck dem a bag a promises

When di youths dem cyaa find no money fi feed dem son
Yuh did give dem a gun, tell mi wa yuh a go tell dem seh?
When a yuh did promise dem things

(1)
A must a true wi have a whole heap a patient like an hospital
Why dem treating us like an hospital
Yea dem just a deal wid wi wicked so
Because dem well waan wi dead quick so
Mi know dem waan fi put wi under di earth fi rest
Confinement prison or house arrest
But Jah, Jah, send a mercy for di merciless
Waan this to be ma last sight
Dem a plan and God a wipe

(Repeat)

(2)
That's why mi pray to Jah wi no get another yuh
Cause yuh a pree like yuh no have mother to
Youth dem did alright and a live dem life
Yuh use dem now and a seh dem a bother yuh
Promise dem di world just to get to the top
Gi dem illegal gun, then yo get to di cop
But member yuh have son and yuh a meck blood run
A just hope yuh watch your back

(Repeat)

(3)
Times gonna catch up on yuh
And I know Jah is watch up on yuh
So one day di doors gonna lock up on yuh
Yeh fi all di evil deeds weh yuh a do

Yes I know times gonna catch up on yuh
And I know Jah is watch up on yuh
So one day di doors gonna lock up on yuh
Yeh fi all di evil deeds weh yuh a do

(Repeat)
