lyrics

I’m a child of the soil I was born in the ghetto
Where the gangstas roll by and then gunshots echo
You have to hide inna your place and tuck down like a gecko
Can't touch the street until the gangstas dem say so

But it’s not like that all the time, beautiful Jamaica where the sun shines
A perfect place to unwind, let the cool summer breeze absorb your mind
But because of selfish mankind, the rich say him reach and left the poor man behind
And the leaders are partially blind, left the youths dem obsolete so a gang dem go join

No job so they start bust gun
No money so there ain’t no fun
Naw make sense you talk and tell them fi dun
Newsflash blood a wash the streets of Kingston

Exceptional punk music! I love sloppy punk, but this manages to be clean without without losing any energy at all (maybe even getting more of it in the process!). Can't recommend it enough and show them to everyone I know zacharypinkham
