Forgive Them Father

Them say, "Money is the root of all evil"

But a no money

Some people a kill people likkle like nothin'

Some say dem a gangster but a studio gangster

Well now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly

Likkle youth with the .45, and him say do or die

Now him mama, she cry, water run from her eye

And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy

Forgive them Father 'cause they know not what they have done

To save them from destruction, gave his only begotten Son

Like them no understand say revelation a come

So watch the heathen them a run

Too much fuss and fight and that is not right

You no can't blow breath in a man but still that you wan' take life

Innocent youth die, bury a next guy

And him mama wool her belly, and ask God why?

Well, no ask me no question, I tell you no lie

It's about time the world start to realize

This a revelation an' it's a serious time

Put your a hand inna the air and pray to the Most High

Forgive them Father 'cause they know not what they have done

To save them from destruction, gave his only begotten Son

Like them no understand say revelation a come

So watch the heathen them a run, cha

Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun

Me no want fi see another youth tumble down

This is reality, no play dumb, dumb

Some a them a thing 'bout dollars having a large sum

Money is the root of all evil if so me no want none

Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn

Whole a them shall perish inna the wicked kingdom

This is Shaggy one of, mm, jah jah son

Forgive them Father 'cause they know not what they have done

To save them from destruction, gave his only begotten Son

Like them no understand say revelation a come

So watch the heathen them a run, cha

Yo! Yo! Yo! Stop talkin' yo

Mislead the youth to shoot them one another down

Mama, what this? You're talkin' pure foolishness

Can't sit down, eat me Sunday ackee and salt fish

Can't use me tongue and lick out me Pyrex dish

As me sit down and a wish me mouth start get peckish

Have fi eat me dry bread and drink the water well quick

Forgive them Father 'cause they know not what they have done

To save them from destruction, gave his only begotten Son

Like them no understand say revelation a come

So watch the heathen them a run

Now a gun shot lick and a marrow it fly

Likkle youth with the .45 and him say do or die

Now him mama, she cry, water run from her eye

And she remember when him was little bit and oh so shy

Watch it

Youth man a beg and you fi put down your gun

I no want fi see another youth tumble down

This is reality, no play dumb, dumb

Some a them a thing 'bout dollars having a large sum

Money is the root of all evil if so me no want none

Wicked man them a heathen fi them fire burn

Whole a them shall perish inna the wicked kingdom

This is Shaggy one of, mm, jah jah son

Forgive them Father 'cause they know not what they have done

And that is not right

You no can't blow breath in a man but still that you wan' take life

Innocent youth die, bury a next guy

And him mama wool her belly
