Yo, Sniper
Me waan you question dem enuh
Oh
[Chorus]
Babylon wha' mek you put so much burden 'pon we ('pon we)
Society forsake we
Tell me weh the system a go do fi my pickney
Nuff ghetto youths nah've noweh fi sleep
Nah've no clothes fi wear
Nah've no food fi eat, oh my Jah
So dem a hustle in the street
Night 'pon top a night
Days 'pon top a days
Weeks 'pon top a weeks
Mhmm-hmm
[Verse 1]
Ghetto youths me nah stop
No sah, me nah give up the fight
The system designa, fi none a we survive
The politics corrupt the youth a it a start the strike
A it a mek we waan fi tek we one anedda life
Inna the heart a the garrison we come from
Dem say the whole a we a criminal and gunman
The youth fi pay the school fee, weh the fuss dollar haffi come from?
Jah know say we need a solution
Ask dem, Miller 9
[Chorus]
Babylon wha' mek you put so much burden 'pon we ('pon we)
Society forsake we
Tell me weh the system a go do fi my pickney
Nuff ghetto youths nah've noweh fi sleep
Nah've no clothes fi wear
Nah've no food fi eat, oh my Jah
So dem a hustle in the street
Night 'pon top a night
Days 'pon top a days
Weeks 'pon top a weeks
Mhmm-hmm
[Verse 2]
Tell me weh you a go do fi black woman
No daddy she no know, she and her mother one
Bright girl inna class she a number one
CXC a come around, no money fi the exam
Society know fi the garrison no love no show
But from the best come the worst, history tell you so
Teacha mek it be known
The stone weh the builder refuse
Always become the head corner stone
Psalm 118:22; Matthew 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; 1 Peter 2:7
So ask dem
[Chorus]
Babylon wha' mek you put so much burden 'pon we ('pon we)
Society forsake we
Tell me weh the system a go do fi my pickney
Nuff ghetto youths nah've noweh fi sleep
Nah've no clothes fi wear
Nah've no food fi eat, oh my Jah
So dem a hustle in the street
Night 'pon top a night
Days 'pon top a days
Weeks 'pon top a weeks
Mhmm-hmm
[Outro]
Oh my Jah
Oh my Jah
Oh my Jah
Oh my Jah
