[Protoje - Criminal lyrics]
(Sowing seeds of crime in di youth dem mind)
(Now it's harvest time)
Woo, dem a criminal, watch di dem a criminal
Seh dem a criminal, watch di criminal
Seh dem a criminal, whole a dem a criminal
Seh dem a criminal, watch di dem a
Them a criminal, nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal, nah guh them feast
Tell 'em we nuh retreat
We just gone to the east
Them a criminal, but a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with them tra la la la
Them a criminal, na
Them a criminal, na nah na na
Yeh yeh jah a di main shield
The eye them stay peel the music stay real
Pickney 'pon the play field
Baby in the stomach, mommy know the pain real
Headphone 'pon her belly
Watch him stay still
See how the sun a shine
See how the rain feel
Jah beg yu keep him dry
I beg and pray fi him
Fi di man dem weh a chop it up a Grange Hill
To the man dem weh a cut it in a cane field
Dem lock up Leonard Howell
Fi sell Selassie face
Dat couldn't stop the message
This a Selassie place
A that you hear we reppin
Ask about what happen pon September 11, 1987
Then them kill we brethren - Tosh and Free I
So Rasta Reggae Radio could
Never see the light
Gwaan no believe in I, say I a Levi
Trod with the Simeon
So act like you nuh see me
Them a criminal, nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal, nah guh them feast
Tell 'em we nuh retreat
We just gone to the east
Them a criminal, but a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with them tra la la la
Them a criminal, na
Them a criminal, na nah na na
The Son arise before the sun arise
Some despise it a so me summarise it
See some a eyes it, wah sit weh I sit
Create a crisis, but Jah come give me ises
Ih huh them send them dogs to the synagogues
But the lions align against the giunea-gogues
Mr inquisitor, cyaan go see it pause
Home of Marcus, His Majesty did visit yard
Me envision them timing a go critical
Dem select the pawn fi lef’ it sticky pon we
Walter did warn we, Boukman did born deh
And go Haiti and revolution start, yeah
The same man dem in a jacket and tie
A dem a pack the supply
And attract you to buy
But that is a lie just fi
Try stack it up high
Well I, never oblige, I attack and survive
Them a criminal, nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal, nah guh them feast
Tell 'em we nuh retreat
We just gone to the east
Them a criminal, but a we follow Jah law
See dem a fraud with them tra la la la
Them a criminal, na
Them a criminal, na nah na na
Them a criminal, watch it, them a criminal
Them a criminal, seh them a criminal
Oh them a criminal, watch it, them a criminal
Oh them a criminal, seh them a criminal
Oh them a criminal, woo oh them a criminal
The whole a them a criminal
