Long Sentence Songtext
von Gregory Isaacs

Long, long sentence
Ooh

Ah

Ya bus′ a gun jus' for fun
Eeh
And then you hit and run
You play with fire and get burned
Just because you wouldn′t learn
Ooh

A cup of trouble you fetch
And now you servin' a stretch
Just because you grudge
No no
And now you're crying
To the judge
Oh

No-one needn′t try your behaviour
Yeah
And now you doin′ nine years hard labor


Ooh
Jah won't save ya
What you gonna do?
Now the tribulation comes to you

Heard ya cryin′ out
Long long sentence
Wonder where we do ya?
Just because, just because
Your trouble runna through ya
Oh
Oh I
Ooh

A cup of trouble you fetch
Hey
And now you serving a stretch
Come bus' a gun just for fun
Yeah yeah (ooh)
Now the time for you has come
Ooh


Noone no, like your behavior!
Now you prison, nine years hard labor
Ooh
Why you play with fire?
That is your desire, eh
Now you get
Burned, burned, burned
Ooh
Because you wouldn′t learn
Oh
Bus' you gun just for fun
And you really had to learn
Oh
But now your time has come
No more fire
Long long sentence
Leave it now
Long long sentence
