Kingston Be Wise lyrics

[Intro]

Ey, ey

Watch ya dread

Hey hey

[Chorus]

Kingston, be wise

Kingston, free up your mind

Kingston, just be wise

Kingston, free up the I, yeah yeah

[Verse 1]

When the city a go click-clack-blow, you bet

Government fingers and tic-tac-toes in it

And while they working on the X's and O's

I'm living I-n-I like I'm Mister Kamoze

No surprise when they sending foes to me

Opposite of when plain clothes approaching me

Follow they rules is what they propose to me

Selling they souls for what is owed, you see

Nothing is owed, nothing is promised

Never know the government woulda run up inna them garrison

Without no sorry, without excuse

Soldier man inna them lorry, everybody get abused, and

Everybody have them views now

The media is owned so know where you get your news from

And the blood deh pon them shoes now

When them walking it trace

Look them hard in them face

And say

[Chorus]

Kingston, be wise

Kingston, free up your mind

Kingston, just be wise (for me)

Kingston, free up the I, yeah yeah

[Verse 2]

Now all the damage can't quantify

Roy Rayon couldn't sanctify

Say a nuff a dem them send fi die

So the city a intensify

Say the ghetto them a gentrify

Well I, nobody nuh identify

Nuff bodies unidentified and just a lie deh

Then where the gun deh? Dead pon Saturday

Buried Sunday like Solomon Grundy

Like a no Sons of Solomon them have down deh

Leonard Howell, Pinnacle and them land deh

Subdivision, them deal it underhand deh

So learn it cah them come back with dem plan deh

So tell me how far do you wanna go now, hey

Cah them will ratta-tatta-tatta when u pow-pow-pow

[Chorus]

Kingston, be wise

Kingston, free up your mind

Kingston, just be wise (for me)

Kingston, free up the I, yeah yeah

[Outro]

Hum...

Do you overstand me man

Hum...

Yeah, its live from the capital... city

Hey hey

Be wise

Hum...

Be wise, for me

Kingston, Kingston, Kingston

Be wise

Kingston free up the i

Yeah yeah yeh
