Beenie Man - Back Against The Wall

Whoa, na na
Yeah, ya, ya
Zagga, nagga now, now
Oh Lord

Well, I've gotta friend called Tony
Who been build a one (?) me was a baby
His nickname after that is money
Let's give dem the whole story
Yeah ya, ya

As a juvenile in the ghetto we're growing up
Their big guns wanted boy have showing us
And they keep tell him every day that gun is no toy
Till policeman back him up
Shoot out his way, escape, he's fabulous
Jamaican Most Wanted, he's dangerous
People dem a say, this is one cantankerous boy

Hey, but now your back against the wall (back against the wall)
Likkle you know, you would a fall (know you would a fall)
Say that you're badder than all..
But you shouldn't lick the bank dung a the mall (bank dung a the)
Now your mother 'pon her belly and a bawl ('pon her belly and a)
When man mek that phone call..
Oh, now, now, now, now

Juan he was a victim of circumstances
The system weh dem have a it create this crisis
You see a ghetto youth with him gun, no call him no boy
Else gunshot to rahtid!!!
Lock off jobs in all the communities
As a ghetto youth you have a few opportunities
Lack of education with all we abilities stall
Hey ya

But when your back against the wall (back against the wall)
Likkle you know, you would a fall (know you would a fall)
Say that you're badder than all..
But you shouldn't lick the bank dung a the mall (bank dung a the)
Now your mother 'pon her belly and a bawl ('pon her belly and a)
When man mek that phone call..
Oh, now, now

It's like working at a hospital you can't afford fi seek inna
Working at a restaurant you can't afford a food inna
Working at a butty poor you can't afford a shoes inna
Feel say that me right me frien'? No Rasta!
Well, policeman find a gun weh forty man, gone a prison fah?
Know say Santa Claus never visit this yah Rasta yah
Never visit the youth dem in the ghetto weh a suffer
Oh, now, now, now, now, now, yeah!
Ghetto youth, it's time for us to be strong
Whoa, Lord, Lord, Lord
Youth-man wise up and live as one
Yeah, ya, ya, ya, ya
'Cause every day a black man kill another black man, oh
The system create by Babylon, so fire bun 'pon Vatican

But now your back against the wall (back against the wall)
Likkle you know, you would a fall (know you would a fall)
Say that you're badder than all..
But your mother 'pon her belly and a bawl ('pon her belly and a)
You shouldn't lick the bank dung a the mall (bank dung a the)
When man mek that phone call..
Oh, Lord

Now your back against the wall (back against the wall)
Likkle you know, you would a fall (know you would a fall)
Claim say that you badder than all..
Man, you shouldn't lick the bank dung a the mall (bank dung a the)
Now your mother 'pon her belly and a bawl ('pon her belly and a)
When man mek that phone call..
Oh, now, now, now, now
Yeah ah

That's all I got to say about that, you know
Ghetto youth be wise
And realize, that you must organize..
