Gunshot

Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem
Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem
Shot a shot dem, we shot a shot dem

One, don’t rump with the foundation
How long government a send CRPF battalion
How long Meda Patkar raise peaceful slogan
Dem time deh nobody give a damn

And now di gun dem bust, rougher than rough
Suffer in silence, news never cover you much
‘Cus dem love violence and now it’s in a newsflash
And prime minister a say, insurgency must crush

Propaganda on your TV screen
On the exterior they look so nice and clean
In Emporio I see them pose and preen
Wake up, wake up, things are not what they seem

Somebody pass me the M16
Somebody pass me the laser beam
Somebody pass me the gasoline
We’re gonna wipe ‘em out clean

I’m waiting for some change
It’s late, it’s late

Indiscriminate loot and plunder
Nuff IED dem a connect to the syringe plunger
Step pan it, it click and it rip man asunder
Type a thing we clap louder than thunder

Raise that sound boy

I’m waiting for some change; It’s late, It’s late
Dream crush, blood lust,
Heat dust, deep thrust
Big guns, bills funds
Breach trust, Blood runs
Raise
