Protoje - Blood Money (BLXXD MONEY) lyrics

(Ay, Ay)

Me nah watch no face, beg no more pardon
A nuff drugs money deh a Cherry Garden
Nuff individual society applauding
You can ask anybody where them
Get them start in
But nuff politician take the donation
So nuff criminal will never see a station
Never see a cell, not even a courthouse
But a every Sunday we see
Them take the boat out (Ay)
North coast resort and car dealership
The construction company dem just don't legit
Use it wash the money
Turn it 'round and hide it
When the kickback dem come in
The government delighted so

Police cancel operation
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station (Huh)
Now if you check the situation (Ay)
A blood money run the nation
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now
If what you see no really faze you (Ay)
Then you a the problem that we face too

Was 'bout to buy an X6 you know
Maybe then I'd never have to be prisoner
Maybe then I coulda not turn in my firearm
Police couldn’t come remand
Come in like me run an army (Ay)
Was 'bout to be a politician too
Maybe then I coulda make any decision, look
Maybe then I'd make a
Hundred million disappear
Then me act like me nuh care
Watch you vote me back in there (Ay)
Because the sad reality
Inna Jamaica, say your status is your salary
Man deh road a carry one whole heap a felony
But them have a family a boost up the economy
So

Police cancel operation
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station (Ay)
Now if you check the situation (Huh)
A blood money run the nation (Ay)
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now
If what you see no really faze you
Then you a the

Is 'out of many' but a one
Set of people feeling it
How that real, society you agree to this
Things a reveal, the garbage the machine spit
No smoke screen a Riverton nuh conceal it
Now the system failing
(Ay) , the gap a get wider
A matter of time before a total divide ya
You cross the line
Man draw quick fi remind you
If you build it on crime then
Crime will have to find you
And that's how it's been always (Ay)
That no frustrate you like it do to me?
How much dead baby deh over jubilee? (Ay)
How much youths did 10 when
Them run inna Tivoli
Now them 16, heart fry, head fricassee so

Police cancel operation
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station, ay
Now if you check the situation
A blood money run the nation (Ay)
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now (Huh)
If what you see no really faze you
Then you a the problem that we face too

(Ay)
