A nation that normalize violence is doomed
It's too much
Mi a tell them mi can't tell them too soon
Too much violence, yeah
Aye, yo, Brushy
I don't understand it, no
Ba di bang, bang, bang
Tell mi why

There's no love in the city
Violence spreading all around
Gunshots disturbing my reasoning
Burn that spliff and burn dem down
Burn that spliff and burn dem down, yo
The evil way that they're living
Too much guns around
No, liberty does not live here
Burn that spliff and burn them down
B-Burn that spliff and burn them down, Jah know

Wi a gih dem di warning
From mi light up mi spliff this morning
Say the system weh we all born in
Have the people dem terrified and bawling
Man a rise up di tall ting
Dem a bust it without no stalling
Dem don't want no peace calling
Bare badness out a road, it brawlin'
Every day, oh
Mothers begging and dem son nah take no talking
No way out
Bare gun a point pon gun and police dem mark him
But dey know
The cost of living keep rising, Babylon falling
Dem don't want no peace calling
Bare badness out a road, it brawlin', yo, 'cause

There's no love in the city
Violence spreading all around
Gunshots disturbing my reasoning
Burn that spliff and burn dem down
Burn that spliff and burn dem down, yo
The evil way that they're living
Too much guns around
No, liberty does not live here
Burn that spliff and burn dem down
B-Burn that spliff and burn dem down, Jah know

Town and country are the same (same)
Nah play no game
Don't take my life like it lame (lame)
I'm living on the main
I don't want to be shamed
Some a dem yute cannot tame
Tell me what they gain, them sell them soul, now what they gain?

Some man wanna live dem life
Wan see the dark, no wan see the light
Karma lick dem, no big surprise
Den dem realize dem shoulda tried
Man just wan live fi di hype
Some a dem neva wan live fi di right
So mi burn my spliff and burn dem down
Man a burn my spliff and burn dem down 'cause

There's no love in the city
Violence spreading all around
Gunshots distributing my reasoning
Burn that spliff and burn dem down
Burn that spliff and burn dem down, yo
The evil way that they're living
Too much guns around
No, liberty does not live here
Burn that spliff and burn dem down
B-Burn that spliff and burn dem down, Jah know
