King MAS - "Pon Di Corner"
Written By Okomfo Anokye Sitawi (King MAS)

Intro:
Genocide, It's a genocide
Inna di west, ah nuh nuttin fi yuh head divide

Chorus:
Out yah pon di corner
Di beast ah bring the drama
Dutty babylon
Will nyam yuh flesh like a piranha
When mi touch di street
Ah Ras Tafari ah mi armor
Heart of a lion
I ah nuh lamb to di slaughter

Verse 1:
What is the price of life?
Poor people pickney dem ah sacrifice
No matter how you trod ah day
And where you walk ah night
Africans Inna di west ah live
Inna sniper sight
Pregnant madda get shot
Tru she go cuss bumbo claat
Down ah jersey man ah chat
Say ah today it ago stop
But dem nuh seet say
The whole system is a choke hold
babylon check say man soft
Like a snow cone from cold stone
The great Asante used to sit upon the gold throne
Now ah nuh nuttin
Fi a black man get throw down
And hold down
And dem tell yuh say nuh move no mek no sound
Execute a youth
And tell him madda say fi don't frown
(Woyyy)
There's no justice
No its just us
In a system designed to enslave us
Off our knees now
Time to rise up
Di ting dem
And fight fi wi children

(Chorus)

Verse 2:
Nuff ah di youths nuh sight di truth
Trans Atlantic amnesia
post traumatic stress expressed
In every trigger squeezed
At another son of kush
Trodding through the streets of Rome
Trying to live in massa house
dem dutty house ah nuh we home
Ancient bond so tight
Just like my knots weh can't be combed
The price of this life
Dollar bills cannot afford
Deception and lies
Inna di media that surrounds
The future is in the hands
Of the youths who hear the sounds
Of the ancestors calling
Saying fear not
Dutty Babylon is falling
Youth yuh nuh see dat?
Ancient consciousness rising
Trusting in the wealth
Inherent in the soil
Absent in the coil
Vanity ah spoil
The love we used to have
It mek I blood ah boil
When di stray bullet kill di likkle child
Tears over the loss of that little smile
Meanwhile The Juvenile
Daily getting victimized
Criminalized
From the public school
Into prison life
Them streamline the pipeline
I sight it with clarity
Like feline inna night time
In the darkness lies my sanity
Ah couldn't I dem want fi
Strike down like Mike brown
Prefer take a flight now
Forward to Zion, Dat ah my throne

Outro:
Mi say #HandsUpDontShoot
Nuh execute a next ghetto yute
I tell yuh
#ItStopsToday
