Flames

(album: A Matter Of Time - 2018)

Tu'n up everything
Bu'n up everything
Run out everything

Tu'n up everything
Bu'n up everything
Run out everything

Tu'n up everything
Bu'n up everything
Run out everything

Run out everything

Bu'n up everything

Them a swing from left to right
Can't get hit tonight
Find them kryptonite
Then
Man a par like superman
One whole group a man
Stand up right beside them
Come through with a new pattern
Inna the studio them
Man yah a shoot and naa miss
Start clap the thunder
Flash the lightning
Choir start sing
And psalm reciting
Fireside night with all the idren
Liars and scribes
Them start the writing
Oh, look at how them want us fighting
Distracted with advertising
Control your brain with all the choices
And now them want control ganja prices
Not a bomboclaat as long as I live
I blaze free
Them can't suppl y this

Anything a anything
Remember everything is everything
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
So we burn them again and again and again and again
Anything a anything
Remember everything is everything
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
So we burn them again and again and again and again
Babylon inna flames

When the government can't fight crime
Them blame kartel or blame alkaline
Wha 'pen to the parents dem weh not trying
Fi tell the youth them make up them own mind
Haffi think deeper overstand me
All of this start so underhanded
Like all a man like bustamante
How you fi get me
Trust that man deh
National hero who?
You 'tan deh
Hugh shearer ban
Walter rodney
None a dem ting nuh
Teach inna the school
Them take man fi fool
You know da plan deh
But
Where the one them
Who naa compromise
Start talk truth so them
Waa come for I
A "I" fi a "I" or a tooth fi a tooth
'Til your mouth full a gum
And your food nuh get chew

Anything a anything
Remember everything is everything
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
So we burn them again and again and again and again
Babylon inna flames

They're always looking for somebody to blame
Rastafari will be fanning the flame
Can't cool can't quench
No fool can't tell me nothing
Fire man a put pon dem
Fire man a put pon dem
It burning
'Til babylon bu'n down flat
And the youth them learning
Say the system fail and flop
When the youth them searching
Babylon still blind like bat
And them can't find no way fi make no peace
Tha t's why crime can't stop
Still them find a way fi make disease
Pure lies when the pastor preaching
Can't find no way fi clean the seas
Them find a way fi sell the beaches
And them find a way fi thief pinnacle
With we ancestors dem underneath it
Gonna be a weeping and a wailing
'Cause rastafari undefeated

And we naa stop talk bout coral gardens
Until we dead
And we naa stop burn them
False leaders and presidents
Calling all soldiers near and far
Please send for them
'Cause we burn the beast and him children
Then we burning all evidence

Can't tell me anything
Remember everything is everything
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
So we burn them again and again and again and again
Anything a anything
Anything a anything
Nothing to lose and everything to gain
So we burn them again and again and again and again
Babylon inna flames

Wa-da-ding-dong deng
Fire man a put pon them
Wa-da-ding-dong deng
Fire man a put pon them
Wa-da-ding-dong deng
Oh, what a bushumpeng
Fire man a put pon them

Them want a boom boom claat
And a bushumpeng
Fire man a put pon them
