"Play Fool (To Catch Wise)" lyrics
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, time to rise up
You must play fool to catch wise
Yow, time to rise and shine, boom
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise, ever shine, yow
Cah when the system pressure youth what a thing
Jobless, empty pocket ah nuh formal sekklement
Ah so the youth take up badness, start hustling
'Im fire the black iron and nuh Zion
Cyaan nuh save 'im from Judgement
Time to follow righteousness, get some meditation
Some youth just left behind, last seen a Satan's medication
Good ova evil is the final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yow!
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise, ever shine, yow
And when one door is closed, many more a open
Bob Marley said it, yes, and we never ever doubt it
The situation tuff, bad, make we face it
Opportunities, roast dinner, and just few can really make it
No job a no justice, and youth a move drastic
'Nuff a dem a end up in a plyboard casket
Running from police, that a dem gymnastic
That's why Jamaican youth, dem dem a send it like elastic
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
Play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, yow
...
Oh, hear me now
Politician set it, the youth dem a regret it
Poor people don't drink water, minister eat spaghetti
Ghetto youth dem sceptic, the plan most effective
The situation ruff,, so who's goin' correct it?
Time to follow righteousness, get some meditation
Some youth just left behind, last seen a Satan's medication
Good ova evil is the final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yow!
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
Play fool to catch wise, ever shine, yow
Ghetto youth, time to rise up
You must play fool to catch wise
Yow, time to rise and shine, boom
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, elemental surprise
You must play fool to catch wise, ever shine, yow
Cah when the system pressure youth what a thing
Jobless, empty pocket ah nuh formal sekklement
Ah so the youth take up badness, start hustling
'Im fire the black iron and nuh Zion
Cyaan nuh save 'im from Judgement
Time to follow righteousness, get some meditation
Some youth just left behind, last seen a Satan's medication
Good ova evil is the final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yow!
Play fool to catch wise

You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
