A Who Dem Want Blame

(album: Trodin On - 1999)

A who dem want blame
Get up, stand up, cause people, it's a shame
Dem say dem share your pain
A when you check it out you stand alone ina the rain

Too good for dis ya time
Feel a pain ina me belly, becau'me nuh blind
When me see a dem flex, politricks in dis ya time
Dem haffi be a hypocrite fi get di next dime
Segregation, injustice and crime
Me nuh the amoki me an [?], true love hard fi find
But love amongst me friends, I fi me goldmine
Always ready, fi face, Jah wonders and signs
It's a hard road to travel and a mighty long way to go
With positive movements, a so we a grow
Outta the bad an bless fit, where did we rise up now
You nuh go see me rushy always a move slow
Pon those long an sweet I lift meself an nuh go stop try
Me slow the wicked man because dem nuh fi get da blight
When judgement nuh come there's no needle eye
Fi slip away, no run away

A who dem want blame
Get up, stand up, cause people, it's a shame
Dem say dem share your pain
A when you check it out you stand alone ina the rain

A who dem want blame
Get up, stand up, cause people, it's a shame
Dem say dem share your pain
A when you check it out you stand alone ina the rain

Dem a leave you alone back on the backed field, drink champaign ina dem tower while you bleed
You do the dirty work becau' dem all ina freeze
Dem a war-monger, try fi bun peace
With dem radio, newspapers and Tvs, spread real lies, across the seven seas
Brainwash education of they use increase
Whipe the tears outta your eyes, people, time fi see
Babylon always will try fi abuse
But we nuh go step ina no wicked man shoes
Got to make certain independent moves
Dem will never ago tell we what fi do, dem confused
Get caught ina dem own system, dem ago lose
Dem guns an checks soon a' have no more use no no no no

A who dem want blame
Get up, stand up, cause people, it's a shame
Dem say dem share your pain
A when you check it out you stand alone ina the rain

A who dem want blame
Get up, stand up, cause people, it's a shame
Dem say dem share your pain
A when you check it out you stand alone ina the rain

A who dem want blame oh oh Dem say dem share your pain oh oh...
