Good So - Capleton

I will not forget over the years a bere exploitation and penalization

We look pon dem, black people, and say a full time, you know

Fi certain things stop

So, we ask dem!

And sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

Like dem no due no respect to the nigga

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And lef' the youth dem inna pain and sorrow

Why dem teach we fi beg and borrow?

Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow

Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro

Teach we fi beg, and dem teach we fi borrow

Give we gun fi lick out we owna brother’s marrow

Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so

Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so

We are all one blood, me nah stop say so

Unity in strength, me nah stop say so

Unuh sing!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

Like dem no due no respect to the nigga

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

Eeh!

Hear how me look pon dem and tell dem say again

Watch this!

Wha' me say?!

Brainwashed education, true dem waan we get slain

Dem release the chain and still a use dem brain

Economical slavery have we under big shame

A x-amount of life just a go down the drain

Dem take the ice, dem take the pool, and dem take all we grain

Change we time, change we ways, and change all we name

But when dem see the Prophet, a me dem cyan tame

'Cause me no smoke dem cocaine, me no drink dem champagne

Yes, a wicked Babylonian, unuh cyan blow mi brain

And nuff of dem a gwan like dem waan take we fame

Mi sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no due no respect to the nigga

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

He-He-He-He-Hear how me look pon dem and tell dem say again

I sing!

I say, dem crucify Christ, it wasn’t a nice thing to do

Fight 'gainst Selassie and it 'cause big trouble

You know the sky, and the earth, and the sea trembled

I nah forget dem turn dem back pon Paul Bogle

And the one Sam Sharpe, and the one Nanny too

Dem cut off Tacky’s head and sell out Gordon

And anuh joke me a make, a one serious something

And a full time we know we selves, black people

And sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no due no respect to the nigga

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

I, eh-eh-eh-eh!

I look pon dem and tell dem

I sing, I sing!

Fires and flame, mi say, pon the heathens

Fi how dem corrupted all the children

Hand dem all type of blood money fi spend

Teach dem fi borrow and teach dem fi lend

And give dem the coke, and kill out Ishens

And give dem the hog dem fi nyam, inna the pen

And give dem the '16 and the MAC-10

And make dem go a road and shoot down dem owna friend

Me a beg the whole of dem fi help out the youth dem

And sing

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no due no respect to the nigga

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And leave the youth dem inna pain and sorrow

Why dem teach we fi beg and go borrow?

Give we alcohol fi make we inside hollow

Give we cocaine fi make we smoke and paro

Give we gun fi lick out we owna brother’s marrow

Marley a prophet, and me nah stop say so

Marcus a prophet, and me nah stop say so

We are all one blood, we nah stop say so

Unity in strength, and we nah stop say so

Heaven inna sky, and me know say it no go so

Unuh sing say!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no respect the youth dem from the ghetto

Unuh, ask dem!

How dem a gwan like dem good so?

And dem no due no respect to the nigga
