Diggy Down

(album: 14 Shots To The Dome - 1993)

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Diggedy down, down just look around, my world is going down
Disease is spreading everywhere, I can-cannot be found
This, the season for murder isn't no reason
To hurt another brother but temptation is so pleasing
And every alley-way, they're getting high
On playgrounds they're selling crack and every day another baby dies
Pistol whipping, kidnapping, anything can happen
Diggedy down, diggedy down with Old Trafford

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Young people, with no education, politicians, deny and segregation
Young infants, deserted and abandoned
Step parents, lack in understanding
Homelessness, all across the land, war, man against man
Treachery and evil filling our communities
And all these hypocrites, aiyyo, they're stealing from our charities

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

People are getting hurt, people are getting hurt up
People are getting done, people are getting done up (we gotta rise)
People are getting hurt, people are getting hurt up
People are getting done, people are getting done up (we gotta rise)
People are getting hurt, people are getting hurt up
People are getting done, people are getting done up (we gotta rise)
People are getting hurt, people are getting hurt up
People are getting done, people are getting done up

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Diggedy down, down just look around, my world is going down
Disease is spreading everywhere, I can-cannot be found
This, the season for murder isn't no reason
To hurt another brother but temptation is so pleasing
And every alley-way, they're getting high
On playgrounds they're selling crack and every day another baby dies
Pistol whipping, kidnapping, anything can happen
Diggedy down, diggedy down with Old Trafford

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

Many poisonous chemicals and (uh) boom!
Many devilish goals are up (uh) soon!
No love where loves' ya dwell in
Mother-earth transformed into hell an'
Ice, murders, conspiracy and (uh) schemes!
Young boys will reveal their, dreams!
Handguns in the hands of the young
And diss all this paranoia, yo, there's much slugs for everyone

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down (blow)
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down

We need to rise (rise), as if we live with our eyes (eyes)
Stay away from the hate (hate), before it's too late (before it's too late)
We go ah

Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down, down
Down, down, diggy, diggy, down
We gotta rise
