Riot

Why you always playing with faya'
Acting like you're the messiah -
It's no accident that our government
Is full of shit and it's biased

Can you hear the sound of the riots
We are not afraid, we are lions
It's time for you to retire
Never get hired;
The shot has been fired!

Another shot
Another rotten cop
That sums of corpses all over them mountain top
The plot, as a piece of thought, though its abrupt
Gets police involved and then the justice stops

Picking us up like crops
We're like the herd transferred inside the deadly butcher's shop;
Man, it's too late, nah! once the bullet drops
You be cutting loose ends, when you should tie up knots

Oh Listen, I know that you are struggling
To hide that monster that you're holding in;
Know do feel the pain that you're living in
From our cracking skulls when you let off steam...

Ring! blackbirds singing
Can't hate us for my home or more for our melanin
The peace that you bring, is corrupt from within'
You on the side of justice and we're on the side of breathing

Why you always playing with faya'
Acting like you're the messiah -
It's no accident that our government
Is full of shit and it's biased

Can you hear the sound of the riots
We are not afraid, we are lions
It's time for you to retire
Never get hired;
The shot has been fired!

I feel so hurt for what's going on
I suffocate, can't you see what is wrong?
Tryna find a way, please just let me stay in my home;
This is not a game, we should try to play alone

Blood for blood
And an eye for an eye
Retaliation taught
Used against I and I

Them spread dem lies
We shall never comply
First shot has been fired -
Now this is our reply!

This our message fi all protestors round di world, you strength, you passion, you Change!
Hong Kong, Bulgaria and USA
Brazil, France and Yemen now tell 'em say!

Hear from Canada, Venezuela and Chile
Every country that fight everyday

Russia, Sudan and Germany
Syria, Somalia, we hear you pray

Nigeria and Congo
What with uk
How much can we pay
For democracy?

Why you always playing with faya'
Acting like you're the messiah -
It's no accident that our government
Is full of shit and it's biased

Can you hear the sound of the riots
We are not afraid, we are lions
It's time for you to retire
Never get hired;
The shot has been...
