Break Me Down
Yeah many moons, many moons
Whole month
NVTHY DREAD one time yeah!
NVTHY woah ah say
Hah tuh gwaan
Call Tdsk
Dem boy, dem boy
Try to break me down
But I'm getting up, I'm getting up
I'm standing now
In soil, in soil
Try to put me down
I'm digging out, I'm digging out
I'm standing tall
Come from di ghetto, as some a dem may consider
Bare violence, nuff depression, likkle order
Wash mi Cara look in a broken mirror
Reflection akin to Thomas Sankara
Buju say, "it nuh easy road"
So nuff water mi had to tote
Just to wash mi pants and mi school shirt
Children done laugh at the hole in mi shoe
So if ah say man had to sleep on di floor
Koko gimme bed roll then a sofa
Being raised by a living dead father
Ended up being adopted by JAHova
Look into my eye see ah still hungry
Like Plankton boy ah say ah wah di recipe
Man a "crab-in-a-barrel" you for every gal in bikini
But NVTHY upright in he thoughts and he deeds
Dem boy, dem boy
Try to break me down
But I'm getting up, I'm getting up
I'm standing now
In soil, in soil
Try to put me down
I'm digging out, I'm digging out
I'm standing tall
I know exactly where I wanna go
Naysayers keep saying that I won't blow
What you think a T 'n T man going to do
Haters search debris lookin for di proof
Lie dey tell say ah praying to di cloven hoof
Me Jah bless nuh afraid a yuh voodoo
Crown mi head, yeah you lookin at the Ewu
Precision in mi mission, ha to liberate dey mind too
Systemic oppression ha di youth dem in a hive
Ha dem sinking to di bottom like a endless deep sea dive
Get sting by sting ray and fighting for dey lives
Nuff pretty ting but di system nuh set nice
War again; yeah me dey despise
Ah talk di tings; don't need no monetary prize
Nuh run no rat race; I ain't no three blind mice
I-man gwan do dem like Jesus Christ
Aye!
Dem boy, dem boy
Try to break me down
But I'm getting up, I'm getting up
I'm standing now
In soil, in soil
Try to put me down
I'm digging out, I'm digging out
I'm standing tall
Whole month
NVTHY DREAD one time yeah!
NVTHY woah ah say
Hah tuh gwaan
Call Tdsk
Dem boy, dem boy
Try to break me down
But I'm getting up, I'm getting up
I'm standing now
In soil, in soil
Try to put me down
I'm digging out, I'm digging out
