Crime Free Christmas - Tarrus Riley

Season’s greetings

Uptown, downtown

We no waan hear no gun sound

Singy Singy

Oh gosh

If you waan gi' we a Christmas gift

Tell you 'bout this, mek me tell you 'bout this

All I want for Christmas is to stay alive

Cyaan tek the sound dem of the .45

All I want for Christmas is to stay alive

Well a health and strength, more life

Tired a me bredda and me sista dem a quarrel

Hey, come mek we drink likkle sorrel

Tell Auntie Joan and Uncle Warren

Send clothes and grocery, no gun inna barrel

Done know seh Santa nah no gift a carry

And my housetop cyaan manage

Haffi love my mama all when she no have it

She a gi' we likkle chocolate tea, a likkle porridge

Oh, holiday time and school done

And nothing we need fi have fun

Greetings a send from foreign

Every belly full from Christmas Eve

And Grand Market we haffi clean

Doh waan no gunshot a buss inna the street

Put dung your gun dem please

And mek we have a crime free Christmas time

Doh let violence bruk we vibes

And mek we have a crime free Christmas time

Doh let bloodshed bruk we vibes

No, oh oh, no, oh oh

All I want for Christmas is to stay alive

Cyaan tek the sound dem of the .45

All I want for Christmas is a new brand ride

With a thick empress inside, hold tight

No snow no fall, only thing a likkle breeze

No one nah stick you up with gun and bawl freeze

No brutal police, beat you till you weak

Christmas cyaan ketch me inna foreign country

Black lives matter inna Jamaica to we

All lives matter, a the said thing we pree

Petty thief, lowe the likkle youth dem with dem phone dem
