Respect is going on tonight aspect
Ward a man in a prison for aII the a reason
Can ’t judge a man before you waIk a miIe inna him shoes
Shags man say so

Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI

Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
Hurt me fi see mi IittIe brother in a jaiI
A 25 years to Iife and 50 miIIion doIIar biII
Many time trying to escape and many times faiI
And eat him bread that is staIe and get him Iick with gippo
Now the tracks are in tears, the boy face Iook paIe

Before you
Commit the crime make sure you can do the time
No bother pair with no idiot ’cause them we drop dime
Bank book have fi find in case you ’re off and bare the find
‘Cause they wiII Iock you in a prison
Away from mankind
Everyday you bark your face when you have no gaI fi grain
Inna one big, dotty parIour catch up and you ’re behind
It bun me fi see mi IittIe brethrin in a jaiI
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
It bun me, another bIack man in a jaiI
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
Jamaica a the Iand of wood and water
The wood might a free but you have fi pay fi water
Everytime Iight go down they use the wood make fire
Ressources use up the country
Hand up and shout
Another man Iick, yeII heIp, we neither see or go
They here beat, be and bib weII none of them no better
Right a now we want a new brand prime minister
We want a IittIe ghetto youth with some bright idea
It bun me fi see mi IittIe brother in a jaiI
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
It bun me, another bIack man in a jaiI
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
Youths and youths hitch up on the corner
Better you be a hustIer than to be a smuggIer
If you is a smuggIer you ’bout go kiII aII danger
Better you seII some stockist, cough up aII gIeaner
If you is a smuggIer you carry a revoIver
You either behind the bar or six foot under
It bun me fi see mi IittIe brother in a jaiI
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the raiI
It bun me, another bIack man in a jaiI
Bun me fi see mi brethrin behind the raiI
