Old War Chant

Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
 Gun shot a bust with grenade and bomb
 First fi survive a fi iron lion
 Learn fi trod through great tribulation
 Learn to survive off the plantation
 Plant up potatoes wi plant up yam
 Turn over soil cause food have fi nyam
 Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
 Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
 Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
 And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
 Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
 Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want
 Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
 Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
 Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
 Wey dem a go do when the real war start
 Can't find solution who play the part
 Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off
 You use to brag how you kill and laugh
 How you wicked and a rip out men heart
 Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf
 Well I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft
 Now Jr. Gong no matter how you brawd or you big
 We naw show respect if you don't love how you live
 Everyday you get up you tek on, you naw give
 Big up Raggamuffin you respect, him solid
 Back to the issue wey wi di a deal wid
 Down in a Jamaica is like old Vietnam
 Print a di eyes put a destruction
 For the simplest thing man a bram bram bram
 Man a live them whole life in a police station
 Man a sentence fi hang and don't do a wrong
 We plant sensimillia and we plant up we yam
 And wi turn over soil for food have fi nyam
 Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
 Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
 Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
 And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
 Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
 Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want
 Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
 Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
 Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
 Now really true I and I positive
 Taking up a matter getting inquisitive
 A blind man can see the type of life man a live
 Yo Raggamuffin you is like a college
 Back to the issue wey mi a deal wid
 Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
 Gun shot a ring with grenade and bomb
 First wi survive you have to be a marksman
 Learn to bus shot a shot gun out a hand
 Learn to survive off the plantation
 Plant up potato wi plant up yam
 Turn over soil for food have fi nyam
 Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
 Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
 Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
 And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
 Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant
 Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want
 Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn
 Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone
 Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
 Wey dem a go do when the real war start
 Can't find solution who play the part
 Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off
 You use to brag how you kill and laugh
 How you wicked and a rip out men heart
 Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf
 I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft
 Now down inna di ghetto wey the poor people live
 Due to sufferation some of dem think negative
 Give thanks and praises to the life Jah Jah give
 The elder done tell you small people get big anyway
 Back to the issue wey mi di a deal wid
 Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam
 Gun shot a ring with grenade and bomb
 First wi survive you have to be a marksman
 Learn to bus shot a shot gun out a hand
 Learn to survive off the plantation
 Plant up potato wi plant up yam
 Turn over soil for food have fi nyam
 Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch
 Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence
 Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence
 And if mi catch him a shhhh silence
