Blood In The Streets Songtext
von Samory I

Well it nuh safe when the guns come out
Careful how yuh run yuh mouth
To the man dem dung a south
Nuh bodda pose like nuh wanna be
To the youth dem dung a tivoli
Inna broad day light dem will take yur life
With a rusty knife
Up a standpipe
So many places I can name
The situations still the same
"Cause everywhere I go
A dark cloud seems to follow me around
And I don′t even know
If there's any peace of mind to be found


Blood in the streets (yea)
Rude boy and police (yea)
Every man have a piece (yea)
But dem nah keep the peace (yea)
Scammers and thief (yea)
Say dem nah squash nuh beef (yea)
Let the dogs off the leash (yea)
The return of the beast (yea)

In a world where violence is incentivized
Out a touch with leaders who don′t empathize
The yutes dem choose to scam to build dem enterprise
Protection of dem asset dem nah compromise
So dem organize
The clips dem extra size
When dem step it's like a military exercise
Mercenaries move to kill and then collect the prize
Uncle, mumma, pickney
Dem nah sympathize

Blood in the streets (yea)
Rude boy and police (yea)
Every man have a piece (yea)
But dem nah keep the peace (yea)
Scammers and thief (yea)
Say dem nah squash nuh beef (yea)
Let the dogs off the leash (yea)
The return of the beast (yea)


Shame to say the system that should be protecting
Is still the reason we suffer
The perpetrators blame the victims
Do they even listen
Can they hear us from the gutter

Blood in the streets (yea)
Rude boy and police (yea)
Every man have a piece (yea)
But dem nah keep the peace (yea)
Scammers and thief (yea)
Say dem nah squash nuh beef (yea)
Let the dogs off the leash (yea)
The return of the beast (yea)
