VILE TIME Lyrics

Well dem a seh dem gun it nah suppose but a yessideh wi find a man decompose

Watch di unlookers and reporters and everybody pass denm a wulla on pon dem nose

Man a shot man man a stab man blood a run pon road like water through hose

And if yuh mek a mistake an guh watch too late affa yuh line some bwoy thief yuh clothes

When yuh si a bad seh dem nah pose from yuh si a bad man gun under dem clothes

And if a man talk an bwoy yuh bever frowns all di big gun inna yuh nose

An den when yuh si a bad man seh do nuh beg friend

Bad man have a gun wi send yuh dung a may pen

Di big mack eleven and di milli fourtheen

And if yuh mek a man get vex before ten all yuh life it will sure to end

Yuh si di badness thing yuh fi erase

Bwoy out a yuh mind dem thing change yuh ways

Police come come curel di place

A you fuss dem wull pon di base

When dem wull yuh wid a gun pon yuh waist

Policeman would a shorten yuh days

Lick out yuh marrow and mash up yuh face

Bwoy a yuh did a mek di shot blaze

Gi di youths gun fi guh shot up di place

Kill mass john a den yuh kill miss may

Murda di yiuth from dung a old harbour bay

Dem deh thing deh a big disgrace
