Soldier Songtext
von BEAM

CHASETHEMONEY, CHASETHEMONEY

Prayer for the youth dem a struggle for the yen
Brain wash a gwaan pon CNN
Di system cause dem type of problem
Dem nuh really care ′bout who what or when
Jamaica mi born live by the anthem
Eternal father come bless my land
Big house a build but we in a basement
No hot water, rent money done spend
Mommy wash clothes with her two hand dem
It nuh if it don't make da scratch sound deh
Di gravel back then was my play pen
Da road deh mi can′t bother take that again

Take weh ya self when things get bad
Brush off ya shoulder and get right back
We make it out dawg, man a soldier
Just stay strong, soon pass over


Genesis to exodus, uh
Dutty, dutty make ya tough, uh
Turn ya back collect di dust, uh
Dat type a life nuh meant fi us, uh
Want a lux a Pegasus (Wah mi do?)
Down to dust mi work, yuh
I'm black and white so keep it tux
Mi know like fi fuss do head mi cut
Intelligence belong to everybody
Body every to belong intelligence
Mi nuh wah fi mix up with nuh dibi-dibi
Dibi-dibi with mix up fi wah know me
Pickney feeding gone up to 12.50
50.12 to gone up feed a Pickney
Mi like nuh government a pre pon me
Me pre a government nuh really like me

Take weh ya self when things get bad
Brush off ya shoulder and get right back
We make it out dawg, man a soldier
Just stay strong, soon pass over
