Give dem a saints of pride to make it easier

[Verse 1: Vybz Kartel]
Everyday about 10 pickiny missing
Police seh the crime scene clean like a whistle
But anybody dweet mi a beg unu fi listen
If mi ever hold unu mi naw send unu go prison
Unu grave dig already unu naw get no coffin
When mi done wid unu mi no care wa waan happen
Mummy watch yo girl when yo carry are go shopping
Daddy watch yo son likkle bwoy no fi gotten
Meck wi search up the coob fi the egg dem wa rotten
A no one man thing is a community bottle
Mi watch yo kids fi yuh, yuh watch mi kids fi mi
Call the police if yo hear nothing fishy
Big man wear yo size like lieutenant Stitchy
Don't touch the likkle girl mi no care if shi pretty
Run yuh down wid the magnum a no Scatta
When yo hear la, la, la, la, la, la, a no Mrs Kitty
[Chorus: Gaza Slim]
[Verse 2: Gaza Slim]
Everybody searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone to fulfilled my needs
A lovely place to be
An so I learn to depend on me
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I live desirably
No matter what they take from me
They can take away my dignity
Because am greatest, the love of all
Is happening to me, it's happening to me
I found the greatest love of all inside of me
