Shut eye country


No care how big your property
Or real big celebrity
Everybody dem a V.I.P.
When ya R.I.P.

Me see dem gone down a shut eye country
Me glad me nuh dwell down a shut eye country
Dem say heaven and hell in a shut eye country
And when you lose your life you down a shut eye

Ever mister man makes you so rush
Everything you treat it like trash
And now you rampin' like a puppet
Every day you make a nother duppy

Thinking not of tomorrow
I wonder what it is that makes your view so narrow
Every day you get up and your parrot
Not so majestic Mr. King of sorrow

Who sleep but you don't sleep
Got no tears for your eyes to weep
Always on a hide and peepBut your judgment will be sudden and steep
Humble yourself in the eye of the storm
And if you step out of line jah ring the alarm

Me see dem gone down a shut eye country
Me glad me nuh dwell down a shut eye country
Dem say heaven and hell in a shut eye country
And when you lose your life you down a shut eye

Life ain't so demanding
With a hole over standing
Stop your twisting and your turning
All the lessons of life you'll be learning

All and pull mi medi every time dem come round ya
With one bag a noise and not joyful sound ya
Many are your sin so you a fling rock stone ya
And in the middle of the crowd we all alone sah
So humble yourself in the eye of the storm
And if you step out of line jah ring the alarm

Me see dem gone down a shut eye country
Me glad me nuh dwell down a shut eye country
Dem say heaven and hell in a shut eye country
And when you lose your life you down a shut eye

Humble yourself in the rage of the storm
And if you step out of line jah ring the alarm
All manner of things I see a gwaan
You huff and puff but man still hafi calm

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics SHUT EYE COUNTRY of GENTLEMAN is also present in the album Diversity (2010)

Biografia

A gentleman is a chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man. Originally, gentleman was the lowest rank of the landed gentry of England, ranking below an esquire and above a yeoman; by definition, the rank of gentleman comprised the younger sons of the younger sons of peers, and the younger sons of a baronet, a knight, and an esquire, in perpetual succession. As such, the connotation of the term gentleman captures the common denominator of gentility ; a right shared by the peerage and the gentry, the constituent classes of the British nobility.
