Lyrics:

c.
you haffi skill fi survive these times
everywhere you look, you see a bere crime
i wish i was a blind man
but di truth we cannot hide from

v1.
guerilla tactics
ACOG optics
shotta get whole heap a practice
in the midst of the madness
can’t understand how the globe still spin pon the axis
politician & police
decades of deceit
people can’t tell what the facts is
graduates with a degree but low salaries
wah dem a do wid the taxes?
road can’t fix but Jaguar park
Kingston, the jungle weh hunting gwaan
weapon nuh make ya, a gun from abroad
most a dem come down a di wharf
so how dem place deh so unregulated?
nuff a di don dem in front of we face
dem power is prevalent, we cannot wait
the product is poverty eradicate

c.
you haffi skill fi survive these times
everywhere you look, you see a bere crime
i wish i was a blind man
but di truth we cannot hide from
you haffi skill fi survive these streets
everywhere you go, a shot a beat
i wish i was a blind man
but di truth you cannot hide from

v2.
wah the point of peace when dem appoint police
then dem a point di piece pon the people?
di amount a don deceased, still di crime nuh cease
clear to see dem appeasing d’evil
cause how a country have hungry civilians
cyah find food fi dem children tummy
when parliament building costing billions
nuh construction dem use wash money?

well you can’t take all people fi dummy
natural resources put up for sale
man a grow some ganja fi help with the export
but Babylon lock him up inna jail
man a try import studio equipment
customs say pay twice or fail
zero investment into the youth dem future
so tell me how the culture can prevail?
dem wah blame dancehall
tell dem fi move dem rassclaat
yo Jamaica we can’t stall
task hard, so we drive fast like nascar
pon the path fi bypass dem past laws
no we can't slow down
how, when the system must go down?
so no ghetto youth nuh haffi scam nor buss no gun
cause we must know love
but know this

c.
you haffi skill fi survive these times
everywhere you look, you see a bere crime
i wish i was a blind man
but di truth we cannot hide from
you haffi skill fi survive these streets
everywhere you go, a shot a beat
i wish i was a blind man
but di truth we cannot hide from
