Tarrus Riley - Don't Shoot

I, I, I, I, I
Life, wonders and signs
Woiie

In 1963, April 11
Dem attack and ask questions after
And in this new millennium the same thing still a gwaan
Cho

Don't shoot, officer
You might find a draw
But I mean no harm
No, don't shoot, officer
I come in peace
And I'm begging you please

Mu hands up, don't wanna be a victim
Have your big gun weh shine and glisten
Too much innocent youth gone missing
I know you hear, are you listening?
Talk up, we nah keep quiet
Bring love, why don't you try that
Poverty bring crime and violence
And your injustice bring riot
Hey

Don't shoot, no, officer
You're too quick fi draw your gun
I mean no harm, me bredda
Don't shoot, officer
I come in peace
I'm begging you please

Don't watch how me look
Don't you ever judge the cover of a book
Ancient Rasta and you know I no crook
Decent citizen on me foot, huh
Justice without partiality
No more police brutality
Serve and protect your people
Stand up for the majority

Don't shoot, huh, officer
You might find a draw
But I mean no harm, bredda
Don't shoot, officer
I come in peace
And I'm begging you please

We don't want no ammunition
Bring communication
Let's build a strong connection
Oii, yeah, yeah
We don't want no ammunition
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

I, I, I, I, I
I, I, I, I, I
Love my people
I, I, I, I, I
Oh, I, I, I, I, I
Love my people

So don't shoot, uh, officer
Don't shoot, Mister Cop
Don't shoot, say you a the boss, hey
Don't shoot, love Rastafari
Haha, hahaha
