How Much More

Now every day, another youth hitch up in a gutter, mm

Now I man talk and I man s-stutter

Can't understand say you fi try and help di youth dem, make dem get big, what

How much more live without bread and butter?

How much more body we a go discover?

Have fi live together every brother and we sister

Stop suffer

Mi say

Mm, Jah pon the land a, so we live a so we die

Can't find the answer to the question why

Mi say the sky is the limit, so you try touch the sky

Put your trust in the God, now Jah rastafarai, Selassie

Hear how mi cry and give mi a bly

Never trouble you, so why you want shoot the I?

Too much wicked man deh 'bout ya oh me, oh my

Now feel it inna mi heart when a siren a cry

Now you deh a prison a suck off man flute

Mama say you brut, you living like a coot

Jah Jah never send no life pan no parachute

Bad company make the I take the wrong route

Now you de behind di bar in a crisp stripe suit

And everyday, another man a try pick your fruit

Now dem have you pon dem nosel like a brand-new recruit

Like a butter pon a piece of hot bread

A so your blood run when a shot lick your head

Don't you think it's better living than it is to be dead?

And in the Bible it is written and so it should be said

"Thou shall not kill neither blood must shed"

And yet still you wouldn't mind full me up the lead

And tell me if your conscience no burn you when you go a bed

And now you can't sleep, you de a think 'bout the dead
