Should we get the fire

I'm gonna smoke

Til my eyes them red like fire

Read a couple page

And chant out two prayer

For the weak for the poor the long time sufferer

The one when evening

Come they can't find no supper

And the youths them have to bathe up in a cold water

A family getaway is a non starter

Every day is grim and like in the get carter he

And though times hard and money short

There'll be sunshine in the face of the people

Whether day more walkathon or

Have corn to put gas in their vehicles

And though times hard

And money short consumer goods

Are produced by poor people

When nuff of them are walkathon and

Have no corn to put gas in their vehicles

So for these words

These sounds these powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

Giving me the strength to believe that there'll be

Brighter days

These words these sounds

These powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

Give me strength and conviction

To go on

Me nah go drink up too much of the firewater

Cos it's a deeper vibration I and I ah call for

As a herbsman I smoke and meditate like rasta

For there's a whole heap of questions

And and I want some answers

Why a station inna space and no cure for cancer

How much more have to dead to put oil in a tanker

Why man locking up for weed

But them ah free the banker

We nah go take none of the sympathy neither

You don't see nuff ghetto

Youths ah turn riddim rider

Courthouse and jailhouse

Them sick of lock up inside

But I don't condone the badness

Or the things that ain't right sir

Do things to make your family proud your future brighter

Here what I'm saying my friend just push up you lighter

And smoke til your eyes them red like fire he

So for these words

These sounds these powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

The giving me the strength to believe that there'll be

Brighter days

These words these sounds

These powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

Give me strength and conviction

To go on

For the we can the for

Give me strength and conviction

To go on

The none time sarebires

So for these words go on

I change the breats

We nah go take none of the sympathy neither

You don't see nuff ghetto

Youths ah turn riddim rider

Courthouse and jailhouse

Them sick of lock up inside

But I don't condone the badness

Or the things that ain't right sir

Do things to make your family proud your future brighter

Here what I'm saying my friend just push up you lighter

And smoke til your eyes them red like fire he

So for these words

These sounds these powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

The giving me the strength to believe that there'll be

Brighter days

These words these sounds

These powers I'm giving you my

Thanks and praise

Giving me the strength

The conviction to go on
