Lyrics

( Capleton )
King shango and rakaa getting hotta/
Getting in tacka/ now the whole place locka/

Fya man seh bun dem, bun dem/ mek wi bun dem
Un dem/ killing out di daughters and di son dem
Dun dem/ blaze up di fya mek it bun dem/ bun out dem
Bombs and dem bullets and dem gun dem ( repeat )

( Rakaa )
The fire starts with a spark/ then a shift up in
The mind/ people scared to be themselves/ seem happy
To live a lie/ give thanks for collie weed/ never ever
Sniff a line/ conquering lion/ 225th in line/ if we say
We're "pro-war"/ only in the fight for peace/ man, that
Means no war/ think the price of life is cheap?/ but
We're saying "no more"/ righteous recognize the beast/
Fireman'll baptize/ burn 'em the light and heat/ forward
To the power in a phrase like/ "acts of god"/ prophet
Said he saw the flood waters rise/ and the flow was hard/
I was really shocked to see/ the truth was exposed as hard/
While the media was focused/ on the words by kanye/ what
Was it I just heard the president's mom say?/ people here
Are frustrated/ still got a long way/ fed up but remember/
Self destruction is the wrong way

[Rakaa & capleton]
Too much ratat.../ keep it pon lock if you're gonna use one/
(Remember that)/ ratat.../ strictly self defense or for
Revolution/ (remember that)

( Chorus )(capleton)
They think I'm crazy/ but di tables have to turn/ they
Think I'm crazy/ but di fya have to burn/ they think
I'm crazy/ but di children have to learn/ they think
I'm crazy/ wow, wow, oh

( Capleton )
Rakaa tell dem seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem
Bun dem, bun dem/ if dem kill di daughters and di son dem
Bun dem/ bun dem out dem bullet and and dem bomb and dem
Gun dem/ wah mi seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem
Bun dem, bun dem/ serious mi serious ain't makin no fun
Then/ weh mi seh fi bun dem, bun dem, bun dem, bun dem
Bun dem, bun dem/ listen to di words weh a come off a mi
Tongue/ rakaa tell mi seh

( Rakaa )
It's dilated with the prophet/ capleton the fireman/
Visions of the future's clear/ reign of fire in his hand/
Crown prince rakaa/ preacher's son with a higher plan/
Coconut and carrot chalice/ looking for the kaya man/
Babylon is vexed with us/ they should read exodus/ moses
And the burning bush/ incense in leviticus/ lamb's bread
Sacrament/ check out 1st corinthians/ shipped of to
America/ all through the caribbean/ no it's not an
Accident/ gangbangin and the dope/ guns and crack are
Lynching youth/ swinging from a hangman's rope/ addicts
Wanna shoot up/ pop pills/ wanna drink and toke/
Automatics spit hot/ you can still se the smoke

[Rakaa & capleton]
Too much ratat.../ keep it pon lock if you're gonna use one/
(Remember that)/ ratat.../ strictly self defense or for
Revolution/ (remember that)

( Capleton )
Well bingyman wi haffi mek a decision/ caan mek dem
Distract wi from jah jah mission/ dem a worry bout mi sight
And ask bout mi vision/ dem want to know weh certain things
It derive from/ from di injustice and di manipultation/
Death without dignity and exploitation/ so mi go, go ask di
Wicked man/ weh dem dem pan/ why dem haffi build so much
Evilous weapon/ so mi go, go ask di wicked man/ why dem
Haffi build so much evilous weapon

Chorus
