Capleton - Good So lyrics

I will not forget over the years
A bere exploitation and penalization
We look pon dem, black people
And say a full time, you know
Fi certain things stop so, we ask dem!
And sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
Like dem no due no respect to the nigga
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And lef' the youth dem inna pain and sorrow

Why dem teach we fi beg and borrow?
Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow
Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro
Teach we fi beg, and dem teach we fi borrow
Give we gun fi lick out
We owna brother's marrow
Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so
Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so
We are all one blood, me nah stop say so
Unity in strength, me nah stop say so
Unuh sing!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
Like dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so? Eeh!
Hear how me look pon dem
And tell dem say again watch this!
Wha' me say?!

Brainwashed education
True dem waan we get slain
Dem release the chain and still
A use dem brain
Economical slavery have we under big shame
A x-amount of life just a go down the drain
Dem take the ice, dem take the pool
And dem take all we grain
Change we time, change we ways
And change all we name
But when dem see the Prophet
A me dem cyan tame
'Cause me no smoke dem cocaine
Me no drink dem champagne
Yes, a wicked Babylonian
Unuh cyan blow mi brain
And nuff of dem a gwan like
Dem waan take we fame mi sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
He-He-He-He-Hear how me look pon dem
And tell dem say again i sing!

I say, dem crucify Christ
It wasn't a nice thing to do
Fight 'gainst Selassie and it
'cause big trouble
You know the sky, and the earth
And the sea trembled
I nah forget dem turn dem back pon Paul Bogle
And the one Sam Sharpe, and the one Nanny too
Dem cut off Tacky's head and sell out Gordon
And anuh joke me a make
A one serious something
And a full time we know we selves
Black people and sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
I, eh eh eh eh! I look pon dem and tell dem
I sing, I sing!

Fires and flame, mi say, pon the heathens
Fi how dem corrupted all the children
Hand dem all type of blood money fi spend
Teach dem fi borrow and teach dem fi lend
And give dem the coke, and kill out Ishens
And give dem the hog dem fi nyam
Inna the pen
And give dem the '16 and the MAC-10
And make dem go a road and
Shoot down dem owna friend
Me a beg the whole of dem
Fi help out the youth dem and sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And leave the youth dem inna pain and sorrow

Why dem teach we fi beg and go borrow?
Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow
Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro
Give we gun fi lick out
We owna brother's marrow
Marley a prophet, and me nah stop say so
Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so
We are all one blood, we nah stop say so
Unity in strength, and we nah stop say so
Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so
Unuh sing say!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no respect the youth
Dem from the ghetto unuh, ask dem!
How dem a gwan like dem good so?
And dem no due no respect to the nigga
Unuh, ask dem!
