Show and Prove Songtext
Reality check
Every step weh mi mek
Through the valleys of death
Mi ask jah fi protect
Fi the least of things
Dem will be t yuh neck
Fi way how yuh talk
Or the way how yuh dress
Reality check
Every move weh mi move
Have on mi dancing shoes
Cause if yuh snooze yuh lose
Card quick fi play
Watch the path yuh choose
Cause di way of the streets
Its called show and prove
Show and prove
Deh inna a place weh no man wah lose
Before dem lose them put yuh pon mute
Fi prove badness dem a stab dem a shoot
Haffi have yuh guards up like a militant troops
Road side college ano joke ting ute
Everyday a test day watch how yuh pass through
Coulda lawless legitimate institute
Seh di gun dem polish like a Vietnam boot
Reality check
Every step weh mi mek
Through the valleys of death
Mi ask jah fi protect
Fi the least of things
Dem will be t yuh neck
Fi way how yuh talk
Or the way how yuh dress
Reality check
Every move weh mi move
Have on mi dancing shoes
Cause if yuh snooze yuh lose
Card quick fi play
Watch the path yuh choose
Cause di way of the streets
Its called show and prove
Inna every level mi seh war and crime
From corporate it trickle straight guh dung di line
People nowadays doe value not a life
Dem a dweet fi dweet from dem get a dolla coin
Nah tek sorry prefer prove a point
Heart full a darkness nuh know nuh light
Dem nuh talk bout love seh dat outa sight
Just a spiral down to dem own demise
Reality check
Every step weh mi mek
Through the valleys of death
Mi ask jah fi protect
Fi the least of things
Dem will be t yuh neck
Fi way how yuh talk, woyi
Reality check
Every move weh mi move
Have on mi dancing shoes
Cause if yuh snooze yuh lose
Card quick fi play
Watch the path yuh choose
Cause di way of the streets
Its called show and prove
Show and prove
Deh inna a place weh no man wah lose
Before dem lose them put yuh pon mute
Fi prove badness dem a stab dem a shoot
Haffi have yuh guards up like a militant troops
Road side college ano joke ting ute
Everyday a test day watch how yuh pass through

Seh di gun dem polish like a Vietnam boot
Inna every level mi seh war and crime
From corporate it trickle straight guh dung di line
People nowadays doe value not a life
