Intro: 

Let H.I.M. be sanctified 

Hey whoa oh whoa oh 

check how di vibes all ah flow 

how di ghetto youths dem ah grow 

so much love 



Chorus 

Hard grounds no sound from di suffering 

who collect di pounds to keep dem bound from di 
uprising? 

Hey hard ground, cold ground for di suffering 

hey dem bounce wi about, throw wi down 

yet wi still striving (x2) 



Verse 1 

Then ah who gi di ghetto youth gun 

fi dem roam all di street every day and night? 

Check ah which way di nozzle dem turn 

mi ah tell unno seh trigger happy ever waan strife 

nuff ah bawl 'Cree!' 

too late fi guh flee 

by chance if yuh keep all yuh life 

before di day could done, nuff a dem gone 

stop all di war and strife 

where are the so called leaders 

who pollute and corrupt all di place? 

Yow di nowadays bleeders, back door dealers 

who put di youths dem to waste 

di devil's receivers they always ah cheat 


just step pon di things dem create 

woee, strive now 

mi see seh day Babylon ah fake 



Chorus 




Their feelings manifest what is so real 

hoping not for the innocent but who? 

Shall we surely feel 

I can see outpouring wrath 

its not concealed 

time fi equal rights and justice 

not fi corn meal 

I know they don't know where they're going 

long before now Rastafari dem see and know everything 

they go confused within this modern system 

you've received the prize, was it rewarding? 



Chorus 



Verse 3 

Home on yuh own alone wid mother and child 

yet father missing 

man stand up and play yuh role


mi haffi do my own, cyaan do it fi him 

have yuh ever heard di cries of boys and girls 

every time when hungry ah ring? 

Tears full mamma eye everyone know why 

she alone haffi do di jugglin, yeah 

some guys organise and ah mek bare noise 

and not one thing dem ah bring 

mama well qualified education alright 

fi her way not a job can swing 

when she touch pon base and look pon di fence 

stress keep on coming 

is a heavy piece a weight when she push all di gate 

like di struggling just begin 



Chorus
