SOLDIER - Beam

Prayer for the youth dem a struggle for the yen

Brain wash a gwaan pon CNN

Di system cause dem typa problem

Dem nuh really care 'bout who what or when

Jamaica mi born live by the anthem

Eternal father come bless my land

Big house a build but we inna basement

No hot water, rent money done spend

Mommy wash clothes with her two hand dem

It nuh if it don’t make da scratch sound deh

Di gravel back then was my play pen

Da road deh mi can’t bother take that again

Take weh ya self when things get bad

Brush off ya shoulder and get right back

We make it out dawg, man a soldier

Just stay strong, soon pass over

Genesis to exodus, uh

Dutty, dutty make ya tough, uh

Turn ya back collect di dust, uh

Dat type a life nuh meant fi us, uh

Want a lux a Pegasus (Wah mi do?)

Down to dust mi work, yuh

I’m black and white so keep it tux

Mi know like fi fuss do head mi cut

Intelligence belong to everybody

Body every to belong intelligence

Mi nuh wah fi mix up with nuh dibi-dibi

Dibi-dibi with mix up fi wah know me

Pickney feeding gone up to 12.50

50.12 to gone up feed a Pickney

Mi like nuh government a pre pon me

Me pre a government nuh really like me

Take weh ya self when things get bad

Brush off ya shoulder and get right back

We make it out dawg, man a soldier

Just stay strong, soon pass over
