Protoje - Criminal
Sowing the seeds of life
In the youths dem mind
Now, it's harvest time
Whoa! Dem a criminal, watch it, dem a criminal
Say dem a criminal, say dem a criminal
Say dem a criminal the whole a dem a criminal
Say dem a criminal, watch it dem a
[Chorus]
Dem a criminal
Nah follow dem
Take wha' dem waan, then dem gone back again
Dem a criminal
Nah go dem feast, tell dem
We no retreat, we just gone to the east
Dem a criminal
But a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with dem tra la la la
Dem a criminal, no
Oh, dem a criminal, na na na na
[Verse 1]
Yeah, yeah
Jah a the main shield, the eye dem stay peel
The music stay real, pickney 'pon the play field
Baby in the stomach, mommy know the pain real
Headphone 'pon her belly, watch him stay still
See the sun a shine, see how the rain feel
Jah beg you keep him dry, I beg and pray fi him
Fi the man dem weh a chop it up a Grange Hill
Fi the man dem weh a cut it inna cane field
Dem lock up Leonard Howell fi sell Selassie face
That couldn't stop the message, this a Selassie place
A that you hear we reppin', ask about what happen
'Pon September 11, 1987
Then dem kill we brethren - Tosh and Free I
So Rasta Reggae Radio could never see the light
Gwaan no believe in I, say I a Levi
Trod with the Simeon, so act like you no see me
[Chorus]
Dem a criminal
Nah follow dem
Take wha' dem waan, then dem gone back again
Dem a criminal
Nah go dem feast, tell dem
We no retreat, we just gone to the east
Dem a criminal
But a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with dem tra la la la
Dem a criminal, no
Oh, dem a criminal, na na na na
[Verse 2]
The Son arise before the sun arise
Some despise it a so me summarise it
See some a eyes it, waan sit weh I sit
Create a crisis, but Jah come give me I-ses, uh huh
Dem send dem dogs to the synagogues
But the lions align against the giunea-gogues
Mr. Inquisitor, cyaan go see it pause
Home of Marcus, His Majesty did visit yard
Me envision dem timing a go critical
Dem select the pawn fi lef' it sticky 'pon we
Walter did warn we, Boukman did born deh
And go Haiti and revolution start, yeah
The same man dem inna Jacket and tie
A dem a pack the supply and attract you to buy
But that is a lie just fi try stack it up high
Well I, never oblige, I attack and survive
[Chorus]
Dem a criminal
Nah follow dem
Take wha' dem waan, then dem gone back again
Dem a criminal
Nah go dem feast, tell dem
We no retreat, we just gone to the east
Dem a criminal
But a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with dem tra la la la
Dem a criminal, no
Oh, dem a criminal, na na na na
[Outro]
Dem a criminal, watch it, dem a criminal
Dem a criminal, say dem a criminal
Oh dem a criminal, watch it, dem a criminal
Oh dem a criminal, say dem a criminal
Oh dem a criminal, woo
Oh dem a criminal
The whole a dem a criminal
The whole a dem a criminal
