wHO GAVE THE ORDER 
The Preacher's Son (2003) 


I’m Buju Banton with The Preacher’s Son 
Who gave the orders 
For them to go, alright 
Who gave the orders 
Martin was shut down, alright 
Who gave the orders 
To drop the bomb, we wanna know 
Who gave the orders 
No refugees across the borders, hey 
Questions asked with no response 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Where did all these guns come from 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons 
(But they will have to have to answer) 
Then what you gonna do when the Rastaman comes 
(Where you gonna run for cover) 
Lookin’ through window of my irie eyes 
On the city filled with lies 
‘Cause hurtin’ the people workin’ so hard 
Doin’ whatever it takes to get by 
Then I look at myself and realize 
That I was put here for a reason 
Lord knows I’ve done my best and I’ve tried 
We gon’ keep tryin’ 
Who gave the orders 
For them to go, Lord, no 
Who gave the orders 
Martin was gunned down, oh 
Who gave the orders 
To drop the bomb, my God 
Who gave the orders 
No refugees across the borders, hoo 
Questions asked with no response 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Where did all these guns come from 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Feeding lies to our daughters and sons 
(But they will have to have to answer) 
Well, what you gonna do when the Rastaman comes 
(Where you gonna run for cover) 
Well, what you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do 
Incarcerate a million and only free few 
What ??? it shall be done to you 
Open up your eyes and you will see the full view 
Work all day and you can’t get a raise in pay 
Civil bodies been taken away 
I wonder what the voice of the people have to say 
Stand up and defend your rights today 
Who gave the orders 
For them to go, oh 
Who gave the orders 
Martin was gunned down, oh 
Who gave the orders 
To drop the bomb, alright 
Who gave the orders 
No refugees across the borders, well 
Questions asked with no response 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Where did all these guns come from 
(Who’s gonna answer) 
Telling lies to our daughters and sons 
(But they will have to have to answer) 
Then what you gonna do when the righteous comes 
(Where you gonna run for cover)
