Damian "Junior Gong" Marley - Old War Chant lyrics

Your rating:

Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam

Gun shot a bust with grenade and bomb

First fi survive a fi iron lion

Learn fi trod through great tribulation

Learn to survive off the plantation

Plant up potatoes wi plant up yam

Turn over soil cause food have fi nyam

Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch

Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence

Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence

And if mi catch him a shhhh silence



Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant

Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want

Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn

Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone

Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan

Wey dem a go do when the real war start

Can't find solution who play the part

Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off

You use to brag how you kill and laugh

How you wicked and a rip out men heart

Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf

Well I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft

Now Jr. Gong no matter how you brawd or you big

We naw show respect if you don't love how you live

Everyday you get up you tek on, you naw give

Big up Raggamuffin you respect, him solid

Back to the issue wey wi di a deal wid



Down in a Jamaica is like old Vietnam

Print a di eyes put a destruction

For the simplest thing man a bram bram bram

Man a live them whole life in a police station

Man a sentence fi hang and don't do a wrong

We plant sensimillia and we plant up we yam

And wi turn over soil for food have fi nyam

Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch

Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence

Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence

And if mi catch him a shhhh silence



Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant

Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want

Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn

Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone

Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan

Now really true I and I positive

Taking up a matter getting inquisitive

A blind man can see the type of life man a live

Yo Raggamuffin you is like a college

Back to the issue wey mi a deal wid



Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam

Gun shot a ring with grenade and bomb

First wi survive you have to be a marksman

Learn to bus shot a shot gun out a hand

Learn to survive off the plantation

Plant up potato wi plant up yam

Turn over soil for food have fi nyam

Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch

Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence

Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence

And if mi catch him a shhhh silence



Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant

Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want

Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn

Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone

Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan

Wey dem a go do when the real war start

Can't find solution who play the part

Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off

You use to brag how you kill and laugh

How you wicked and a rip out men heart

Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf

I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft

Now down inna di ghetto wey the poor people live

Due to sufferation some of dem think negative

Give thanks and praises to the life Jah Jah give

The elder done tell you small people get big anyway

Back to the issue wey mi di a deal wid



Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam

Gun shot a ring with grenade and bomb

First wi survive you have to be a marksman

Learn to bus shot a shot gun out a hand

Learn to survive off the plantation

Plant up potato wi plant up yam

Turn over soil for food have fi nyam

Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch

Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence

Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence

And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
