Lyrics

(Woah) (Woah) (Woah) Hey, place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna mi face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon me waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah me nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) Place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna me face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon mi waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah me nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) The place moving hot right ya now Way it hot right ya now Weh the Glock fire shot 'round the clock You cyah turn backhands of time Fi reverse hollow points weh dem plot Make you drop off the map So, youths, be wise, hear they're blaming the music They say that it's rooted in dancehall or trap? Well, if that's the case then, what's the excuse you will use When good youth get shoot by the cops? Yo, me haffi wonder, what coulda cause this? The land weh we love, just a-move so lawless Yo, a-couldn't hungry, how man a-starve But find strength fi rob woman a supermarket? When food deh country and it ripe fi harvest Yo, I wonder what the sense is in all this (wah?) Hey And any man weh-a prey 'pon woman Dem fi get line up, make we shoot the target Place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna mi face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon me waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah me nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) Place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna me face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon mi waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah me nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) Hey, a-me say put up unu hand, agree one hundred percent No, this nah make no sense, self-defense, self-defense Know some might take offense to how time get so tense Dem claim innocent, it depends, it depends Woman, put up unu hand if unu nah take no check If unu nah take no threat, make we raise introtec and select it Make a bwoy know if him touch him, regret it No 'fraid fi go wet it, dem nah go repress How much haffi bleed? How much woman haffi dead? Before you see, say something sick inna dem man deh head Psychologically, see say them inadequate In actuality, society it a reflect You think you own you' woman, think say a-you' property You and you dutty bredrin dem keep up atrocity When we retaliate, we nah go need apology We sisters under attack, this-a calamity Mi hear some man-a say dem rather rape than turn a gay As if dem deh ting deh related in any way You nuh see say a-some sicko dem mentality The patriarchy propagate all of them fallacy Even in the church, the violation prevalent Jehovah, you nuh witness, tell me that no relevant Dem deh business cyaa exist inna we regiment A self-defense and we no hesitant Place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna mi face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon me waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah mi nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) Place a-move strange, watch how you walk to me (walk) Look inna me face when you-a talk to me (talk) Hands 'pon mi waist might haffi draw fi mi (draw) Becah me nah sit and wait 'pon di law (law) (And mi say put up unu hand if unu nah take no check) (Wah?) (Put unu hand) (Put up unu hand if unu nah take no check) (No check, no check, no check, no check)
