Or do the things some people do

- Firing The Love
You're just a big Jinel,
Loves hate professional

Love burns perpetual
Locked in a broken cell
Grave passion is denied
Guilty of what? She cried
- Game Over
Noone can do this alone!
I wanna trade this dirty hat for a crown.
Inside my shoe these a stone.
And were it came from nobody knows.
Now this is a mission
Suffer with decisions
Still with all that I'm saying time will tell.
- Killing Me
I'm walking from the bottom and I'm stepping to the top
I see these mental cases and it's just like watching cops
It's not easy to say who is your friend or who's your foe?
Some people look so dodgy, don't even look over bro
They whisper as you're passing
"Want some rock some brown or blow?"
Sometimes it does get heavy when you tell the bastards no
The road is getting hard, the time is getting worst
- Nobody

We are the worms that come out of the dead.

Setting the pace in the place

Keep dropping your bombs and having your fun,
- Rat race
Too much of us caught in a rat trap we ah fe bust out ah that
Too much of us caught in a rat race ah fe bust out ah that

Pushing and pulling juggling it no stop

- Sicker
Green with envy she cries herself to sleep
She's paid the price for living cheap
The more you try to get out of this hole
The more you seem to bury yourself in coal
I get sicker I get sicker sicker I get sicker
The alternation in my brain it don't work right
I seem to listen to the voice that doesn't tell me fight
I kneel down by my bed I call to jah-ov-yah

- Stand For Something
Caught in chains,
Shackles on too tight.
Squirming for your life
because you've gone and lost your freedom.
Manacles cut deep when they're too tight,
You have to break the lock or find the key so you can defeat dem.
Enslaved by the wickedest power,
- Start First
Now what's done in the dark must come to light
And some of them ah big up themselves
And ah grown with the badness

And renew your sight
In this time of fighting and confusion
Youth and youth dem just caught in pollution
- State of Emergency
What's going on all over this whole wide world?
What's going on all over this whole wide world?
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
Calling there's an emergency and I'm only dialling cause it's necessary
What is going on in addy planet Earth? Dat ah where we live it addy place of our birth
Madness and mayhem man the world is corrupt, like a volcano it soon will erupt
- Tell Me
It isn't right for me to grab the wheel
Now we crashed and the pain you feel

Are you happy now?
I'm asking, are you happy now?

Children suffering screams are in vain

And Dem ah try dem best Fe get right in ah dem mind
But dem cant get right because dem spiritually blind

Man we're living in a dangerous time
Every nation to the father seeks a sign
You're either righteous or the heathen infidel
It's only judgment morning every tongue will tell
Rumours rumours everywhere
Times like this when people care
We got to stand up deal with this fight
We cannot stop till this world is right
- Trouble
Don't big up yourself and gwarn like you're a big timer
Don't big up yourself and gwarn like you're a big timer

Tell this fool in my face I don't need enemies so I'm asking you to move back a little,

Everything will be fine if you just cool out yourself and don't do no crime
