Dem Yah Time - Cecile

Yow watch hi friends watch hi friends wa yo keep

Watch yo back when yuh a walk pon di street

Some a dem no mean yuh no good yo seet

So know di wolves from di sheep

Tired a di things mi usto do

So mi live an mi learn how fi follow dem rule

Right now a just use fi use

Before dem take everything an yo loose

Dem eat an drink wid yuh

Den dem turn round paw yuh

No member when di things yuh did fi dem

Yow chimney meck wi diagnose dem

In a dem yah time

Watch who yo let in a yo life

When yo sleep haffi open yo eyes

Walk good caw dem a push yuh weh fi slide

In a dem yah time

A who yuh a go trust wid yo life

No body but yo self mi advise

Careful no meck dem meck yuh loose sight

Mi tired a di way mi usto be

Realize dem naw look out fi mi

So mi cut off some a dem mi usto si

Shed di lode pon mi back now mi free

Mama usto say take sleep an mark bed

No make no sense yo ride or die fi dem

When dem naw do di same yuh run dem

You better learn di game

And play it there way

Cause di moment you forget dem make yuh remember

And by then it’s too late
