Violence in the Streets Songtext
von Julian Marley feat. Damian "Jr. Going" Marley

Violence in the streets
One million running feet


Trying to get away
From this outrageous gunplay
Which seems to make us lack
And so it keep us back
How will you defeat your enemies?
And you′re so outnumbered
Gang war fighting here and there
Youth and youth deh pon they shoot
Ten million screaming voices
Hollering from the valley below
It was just like in the days of old
When Babylon try to control our soul
They tried it first and then again
And so it brought them much pain
Then they start to fight again
When will we ever learn
The way how to make the turn
Away from the evil one
Who has torment and corrupt the land?
White grain powder in a dem face
Watch dem as dem take a nose taste
Then them set out
To terrorize the place
Violence in the streets
One million runing feet
Trying to get away
From this outrageous gunplay

When will we ever learn


The way how to make the turn
Away from the evil one
Who has torment and corrupt land?
White grain powder in a dem face
Watch dem as dem take a nose taste
Then them set out
To terrorize the place
Violence in the streets
One million runing feet
Trying to get away
From this outrageous gunplay
Brothers killing brothers
You can see it every day
Them just a face one another with a gunplay
Ten million screaming voices
Hollering from the valley below
Just because of a strife, one draw a knife
Start chase each other, just to take a life
Violence in the streets
One million runing feet
Trying to get away

From this outrageous gunplay

Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
Gang war, gang war
Stay far, stay far
Gang war, gang war
Stay far, stay far
Youth and youth and youth
Stop from shoot in the street
Gang war, gang war, yeah
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no
