Bunny Wailer - Fighting Against Conviction

Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction

I find myself growing in an environment
Where finding food is just as hard as, paying the rent
In trodding these roads of trials and tribulations
I've seen where some have died in desperation
To keep battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction

In a family of ten, and raised in the ghetto
Hustling is the only education I know
Can't grow no crops in this concrete jungle
A situation like this, is getting too tough to handle

To keep battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction

With a pregnant woman yes, and five kids to care for
Can't cool my heels I've got to do the town
Skilful as I am the jailer man is bound to find me
I pray the day will come when I shall be free from
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction

To be trapped and caught and taken before judge and angry jury
Pleading before men who seem to have no mercy
Can't afford to find myself down in the dungeons
I've got to stay free, so that my kids won't be
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction

Now a fugitive at large, could this be my destiny?
With no one to care for, the welfare of my family
In solitude I've found
New faith and hope in this I'll be secure
For mind and soul would soon be weary
Just couldn't take no more
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
Battering down Saint Ann's - fighting against conviction
