Blood Country

Seet deh again, it’s blood!

Yuh look pon di news, it’s blood!

TV itta a run wid blood!

Newspaper write up inna blood!

Dem seh di word is love

But the work is blood,

Boy 13 inna blood!

All di madda dem a scream, no love!

All di caring an di hug, dem a tugs

All the families a cry, man a die,

Caaw man nuh tek death from nuh guy.

When yuh tink it’s peace, a more grief,

Man a fall pon di street like leaf

When tink it’s calm, more storm,

In di middle a di night more gawn

Seet deh again, more death!

It deh-deh pon di news like heck!

Guy a sen death threat

Have girlfriend a fret

Man hear bout it anna step

Man a call man bluff have nedda man a puff,

Man steppin pon di cut wid machine gun up

See deh again more grief,

When yuh tink it’s peace, zinc fence itta leak,

Itaa drip down red, mom a hol har head,

When you think a di end more dead

New names pon di fence

Cause one a tek him revenge

Numbers write pon di wall

Fi all di belly ache weh a gwaan!

If you look pon a man, iz blood!

If you walk like a dawg, graveyard!

Yeah one more name inna blood,

While di minister a shout fi di love

One more death have many a sweat,

New families a fret,

Some send death threat

A guy hear it anna step.

Seet deh again, more blood!
