Protect Yu Neck

Bulby yuh a listen

Protect yuh head

Protect yuh neck
Look over yuh shoulder

Yuh a hear mi now
Duh nuh come out

All inna broad

So imagine afta

Wat a guh gwaan
Duh nuh come out afta x-30
Dem yah yute yah

War neva stand still
And inna garden
Mi neva see nuh cultivation

Yuh got to be care-ful
And protect yuh neck
Protect yuh head back
Careful and protect

When yuh come out afta x-30
Nuh trust nuh blue

Nuff a pose like

Worst dan di klan weh

Freaks come out

Watch how yuh walk

He turn she and she
turn he some sight to see
Swap identity and

New kingston
Mi si dem a dust
but mi nuh see nothing done
For my people

Still no one knows the reason

And mi guh ask a hope road
Still it was hopeless
cause no one would hear ma cry

Di struggle still continue
And inna payneland burn
di pain and mek wi hold a joy

Get dis straight sah
Work for a safer jamaica

Sweetest land sweetest watah
Dash weh di pirate cultcha

Yuh got to be care-ful

And protect yuh neck
Protect yuh head back
Careful and protect
yuh neck protect yuh head
Yuh betta protect yuh neck
Protect yuh neck
Protect yuh head

Protect yuh neck
And look over yuh shoulder

Woman and man tired

Well waah come out
