How Di Place a Run by Timbali Lyrics
Intro:
To how di place a run
It mek mi feel fi get a gun
But mi tell myself say mi nuh waa none
Mi come fi teach di youths dem say
There got to be a better way, Timbali!
Chorus:
To how di place a run, it mek mi feel fi get a gun
But mi tell myself say mi nuh waa none
How how di place a run, mek one-a-way mi waa go blaze mi chillum
Cau certain people, mi nuh waan fi be among
How di place a run, mek Rasta haffi put a firebun
Pon di system weh a hold di youths down
How di place a run, it mek nuff people say di Father soon come
Di murder rate gone pass maximum
Verse 1:
From di east to fi west to di north and south, one bagga badness, dem a talk bout
Thump inna face and box inna mouth is a thing of the past now a bare guns out
How dem a gallang so, dem deh pon di wrong route
Jah Jah beg yu straighten dem out, mi shout
Di system full up a fake so inna it we have doubt
We a call upon the elders dem because dem have clout
Di youth dem a di future so we can’t leave dem out
We haffi train dem from dem a sprout
Verse 2:
Di youth dem a loot and a shoot and a kill and dem nah gi no time fi nobody write will
Pon flat, toppa hill, dem a mek blood spill, least little ting, dem a empty barrel
And dem nah hear when yu tell dem fi chill
And dem nuh care a who yu, if yu a Jack or Jill
Mi a wonder if a di food or dem a tek certain pill
But summa dem ya youth ya psychologically ill
Dem need a lot of guidance from di elders oh that would be so brill
If di generation gap get fill
To how di place a run
It mek mi feel fi get a gun
But mi tell myself say mi nuh waa none
Mi come fi teach di youths dem say
There got to be a better way, Timbali!
