Old War Chant – Damian Marley – letras

Down in a the ghetto is like old VietnamGun shot a bust with grenade and bombFirst fi survive a fi iron lionLearn fi trod through great tribulationLearn to survive off the plantationPlant up potatoes wi plant up yamTurn over soil cause food have fi nyamSatta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranchMi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpenceJus yesterday a man rip off mi fenceAnd if mi catch him a shhhh silenceNow mi do di guzumbah the Old War ChantClaim sey mi wanted is what dem wantFi defend mi life mi bus up some cornDead man don’t tell tale and that done goneJus fi survive man a so man a fi gwanWey dem a go do when the real war startCan’t find solution who play the partClaim sey you bad see how fast you tek offYou use to brag how you kill and laughHow you wicked and a rip out men heartCarry dead man gwan thing of a wharfWell I Jr. Gong a show you say you softNow Jr. Gong no matter how you brawd or you bigWe naw show respect if you don’t love how you liveEveryday you get up you tek on, you naw giveBig up Raggamuffin you respect, him solidBack to the issue wey wi di a deal widDown in a Jamaica is like old VietnamPrint a di eyes put a destructionFor the simplest thing man a bram bram bramMan a live them whole life in a police stationMan a sentence fi hang and don’t do a wrongWe plant sensimillia and we plant up we yamAnd wi turn over soil for food have fi nyamSatta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranchMi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpenceJus yesterday a man rip off mi fenceAnd if mi catch him a shhhh silenceNow mi do di guzumbah the Old War ChantClaim sey mi wanted is what dem wantFi defend mi life mi bus up some cornDead man don’t tell tale and that done goneJus fi survive man a so man a fi gwanNow really true I and I positiveTaking up a matter getting inquisitiveA blind man can see the type of life man a liveYo Raggamuffin you is like a collegeBack to the issue wey mi a deal widDown in a the ghetto is like old VietnamGun shot a ring with grenade and bombFirst wi survive you have to be a marksmanLearn to bus shot a shot gun out a handLearn to survive off the plantationPlant up potato wi plant up yamTurn over soil for food have fi nyamSatta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranchMi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpenceJus yesterday a man rip off mi fenceAnd if mi catch him a shhhh silenceNow mi do di guzumbah the Old War ChantClaim sey mi wanted is what dem wantFi defend mi life mi bus up some cornDead man don’t tell tale and that done goneJus fi survive man a so man a fi gwanWey dem a go do when the real war startCan’t find solution who play the partClaim sey you bad see how fast you tek offYou use to brag how you kill and laughHow you wicked and a rip out men heartCarry dead man gwan thing of a wharfI Jr. Gong a show you say you softNow down inna di ghetto wey the poor people liveDue to sufferation some of dem think negativeGive thanks and praises to the life Jah Jah giveThe elder done tell you small people get big anywayBack to the issue wey mi di a deal widDown in a the ghetto is like old VietnamGun shot a ring with grenade and bombFirst wi survive you have to be a marksmanLearn to bus shot a shot gun out a handLearn to survive off the plantationPlant up potato wi plant up yamTurn over soil for food have fi nyamSatta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranchMi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpenceJus yesterday a man rip off mi fenceAnd if mi catch him a shhhh silence
