Violence spreading all around (Yeah, yeah)
Gunshots disturbing my reasoning, yeah
Burn dat spliff and burn dem down
Burn dat spliff and burn dem down, yo
Di evil way dat they're living (Yay, yeah)
Too much guns around, ah (Yeah, yeah)
No, liberty does not live here
Burn dat spliff and burn dem down
Bu-burn dat spliff and burn dem down, Sean know

[Sean Paul:]

From mi light up mi spliff dis mornin'
Seh di system weh wi all born in
Have di people dem terrified and bawlin'
Man a rise up di tall ting

Bare badness outta road, it brawlin'

Maddas beggin' an' dem son nah tek nuh talkin'

Bare gun a point pon gun an' police dem mark him

Bare badness outta road, it brawlin', yo, 'cause

Bu-burn dat spliff and burn dem down, Sean know

Town and country a di same (Same)

Don't take my life like it lame (Lame)

Dem sell dem soul, now what they gain?

[Sean Paul:]

Burn dat spliff and burn dem down, yo
Di evil way dat they're living (Yay, yeah)
Too much guns around, ah (Yeah, yeah)
No, liberty does not live here
Burn dat spliff and burn dem down
Bu-burn dat spliff and burn dem down, Sean know
