Ernie Smith - We The People
For the power and the glory
Jah kingdom goes to waste
We the people want fi know
Just where we're going
Right now we hands are tied
Tied behind we back
While certain people if and buttin'
Where do we stand?
We have too far to go
Not to really know
Just how we're getting there
And if we getting anywhere
We have too much to change
Not to know the range
Of possibility and changeability
Violence and crime is commonplace
Within these said times
No man walk free
Prophecy come closer to fulfilment
In these dread times, why should this be?
And as we fight one another
Fi the power and the glory
Jah kingdom goes to waste
And every drop of blood we taste
A fi we own disgrace, yeah
A fi we own disgrace
Can't build no foundation 'pon a if and a but
Are we building a nation
Or are we building a hut?
And every time you ask
Fi some old friend
You hear say just las' night
Him meet a sad, sad end
And if you talk too loud
And if you walk too proud
Watch where you lay your head
For round deh dread, well dread
Can't build no dreams 'pon a fus and fight
Me no care who a do it
Jah say that no right
And as we fight one another
Fi the power and the glory
Jah kingdom goes to waste
And every drop of blood we taste..
