Lyrics

Well Cain kill Abel, so me cautious with man
Judas the disciple was Christ right hand
Better use them examples and be careful of mankind
Cah dem ya man nowadays no kind
'Cause that almighty dollar make friendships end
Sometimes fi power, know who's a friend
What's sweet will turn sour, so be careful of mankind
Cah dem ya man nowadays no kind
Well I ain't seen an angel walking on this ya earth
Angels have wings and they fly way up high
But man has created the world in which we live
Whether male or female be careful of dem
They'll promise they'll be there, then be gone with the wind
In every gender you've got pretenders
So be careful of woman
Can't tell the woman dem different from the man
So me bun Babylon
So if I break your heart baby, I'm just a man
Let there be no hard feelings, 'cause I'm just a man
Though I'd like to be perfect, I'm just mankind
Full of imperfections, still I try
Well I ain't seen an angel walking on this ya earth
Angels have wings and they fly way up high
But man has created the world in which we live
You've got to know what you're worth, human
Caretakers of the earth, try to be I man
More caring and sharing amongst humankind
Cah dem ya man nowadays no kind
Got to know your true value, human
Put nothing above you, try to be I man
There's so much more out there waiting for you man
Get it together, woman and man
When I look at mother nature
And observe creatures of its kind
I hear birds sing, bees doing their thing
But man has created the world in which we live
