Hey bwoy

Me must go a heaven, me nah worry 'bout a thing
As me done pray to me God this morning
Me done know you no want hear me reasoning
Cah the only thing you do a burn man skin
But what if me did have the gun 'pon you
You would a want fi say goodbye to your loved ones too
Me done know seh you a go do weh you fi do

So no worry 'bout me, Zion gate so pearly
And me live me life clean, so me know me will earn it

But me a beg you one thing
Mek me talk to me loved ones dem
Before you burn me skin

Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm
Hmm-mmm, hmm-mmm

Father God, we come before you today
And we come to You with a clean heart
We come to you, as Your humble servant
And we put everything in Your hands
Father God, we pray for the sinners of the world
The gun man, the rapists, the backbiters, the warmongers
The obeah workers
Father God, you see someone is standing over me
With one intention, with a gun in his hand
But I pray for him, I pray that you will bless him
I pray that you will change him
I pray that you will join him from his wicked ways
And let him see how sweet salvation is

Jaw star
Jah know star
Jaw star you a hear
Jah know

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Jaw me done with dem thing yah
Jah know
