"False Pretense" lyrics
Buju Banton, Markus & Jahazeil Lyrics
Hey listen me, people
This is the truth
Unuh a gwan like unuh a fool
Jahazeil stepping in
Gimi little reverb
Some delay
Markus a suh di ting fi stay
Rude bwoy
Turn up the voice projector
Check, check, check, check yah
Check yah
Well, well, well
Ghetoo youth stay fit
We nuh want dem treat
And we nah get trick
Politician dem love fi run off dem lip
A try convince she dem authentic
Can't lead as a blind man with walking stick
Inquiry? Inquire how hard is it inna di ghetto
Den yuh nuh see a garbage dis
Trust me unuh sick and anuh coughing sick
Then tell me now how long we ago pardon dem?
Listen mi nuh parliament
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
Oh we-e-e
How long we ago pardon dem?
How long
We heart we affi harden dem?
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
I say
Now you know why the youths dem affi act so terrible
All inna jail house dem a feel it too
Guns and bombs
Yuh put dem inna we hand
Divide and rule was the ultimate plan
Every youth inna di ghetto grow big want a john (gun)
Can't tell him nuttn 'cause harry have one
Ano seh mama nuh try
Ano seh papa nuh plan
Good education 7 subjects can't use one
Tell me boss man the people want food fi nyam
Call the boss man we nah go wait too long
True the colour of we skin
Yuh know seh him a african
Guh deh buju b dem inna slow motion
How long we ago pardon dem?
Listen mi nuh parliament
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
Oh we-e-e
How long we ago pardon dem?
How long
We heart we affi harden dem?
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
Ayyy
You still a lie
You still a thied
You promise change
We nuh believe
Feed unuh wants
Wa happen to we needs
We nuh wah hear no more promises
No more promises
No more promises
I buju banton
No more promises
I never beg dem nuttn
Then tell me now
How long we ago pardon dem?
Listen mi nuh parliament
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
Oh we-e-e
How long we ago pardon dem?
How long
We heart we affi harden dem?
The youths nuh respect the false pretense
Yuh nuh give a damn 'bout we
This is the truth
Unuh a gwan like unuh a fool
