[Alborosie - Play Fool To Catch Wise lyrics]
Play fool, to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Ever shine)
Cah, when di system pressure youth
What a ting jobless, empty pocket an'
No formal settlement
An' so di youth a take up badness
Start hustling him fire di black iron
An' no Zion Cyaan not save him from judgement
Time to follow righteousness
Get a meditation
Some youth just left behind
Lost in a Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation
Play fool, to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Ever shine)
An' when one door is closed
Many more are open bob Marley said it, yes
An' we never-ever doubt it
Di situation tough, bad, make we face it
Opportunities, roast dinner
An' just few can really make it
No job an' no justice
Di youth a move drastic
Cah, nuff a them end up in a plyboard casket
Running from police, dat a them gymnastic
That's why Jamaica youth
Dem-dem a send it like elastic
Play fool, to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Ever shine)
Politician set it, di youth
Dem man regret it
Poor people don't, minister eat spaghetti
Ghetto youth, dem sceptic
Di plan most effective
Di situation ruff, so who goin' correct it?
Time to follow righteousness
Get a meditation
Some youth just left behind
Lost in a Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yow!
Play fool, to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Ever shine)
(Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise
(Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise
(Ever shine)
