Testo Gang of Five - Cutty Ranks
Testo della canzone Gang of Five (Cutty Ranks), tratta dall'album World Beat Riddim
Right now me no like wha' a gwan inna we community, you know
From long time dem a treat poor people like dog
Who no go on a prison, heading to the morgue
The gang of five a behave like the Gambinos
A gamble with your life like dem inna casino
Dem a thief, dem is not no hero
Dem nah go stop until you 'play zero'
You know long we a look fi a better tomorrow
Price increase, it a cut like Zorro
We can't even buy a phone card fi go use we Claro
The people inna pain and sorrow
It's from long time dem a run it like gangster
And it's dem same one build the monster
When you ask dem a question, dem no answer
It's war and violence dem a sponsor
Most of the ghetto youths dem no have no future
It's crime and violence dem a feature
The politician dem no different from the preacher
Under psychs dem is the same creature
The gang of five a behave like the Gambinos
A gamble with your life like dem inna casino
Dem a thief, dem is not no hero
Dem nah go stop until you 'play zero'
You know long we a look fi a better tomorrow
Price increase, it a cut like Zorro
We can't even buy a phone card fi go use we Claro
The people inna pain and sorrow
This is the truth, no need to fear we
I can see the sufferation clearly
We only want to be treated fairly
But our leaders a try to scare we
But inna politics me nah take no side
Me nah go jump on no wagon, me no want no ride
Certain circle I try to avoid
Because me never rob nobody, me nuh haffi hide
The gang of five a behave like the Gambinos
A gamble with your life like dem inna casino
Dem a thief, dem is not no hero
Dem nah go stop until you 'play zero'
You know long we a look fi a better tomorrow
Price increase, it a cut like Zorro
We can't even buy a phone card fi go use we Claro
The people inna pain and sorrow
One rule fi 18 years and make the most
Then the next one come in and change the course
As dem rise to the top, dem start deal with force
Some of dem soon lose dem post
I know the rich and the poor nah see eye to eye
Because of dem greed a lot of people a cry
Dem is the head of corruption and a tell pure lie
Dem nah go stop until your pocket dry
The gang of five a behave like the Gambinos
A gamble with your life like dem inna casino
Dem a thief, dem is not no hero
Dem nah go stop until you 'play zero'
You know long we a look fi a better tomorrow
Price increase, it a cut like Zorro
We can't even buy a phone card fi go use we Claro
The people inna pain and sorrow
It's from long time dem a run it like gangster
And it's dem same one build the monster
When you ask dem a question, dem no answer
It's war and violence dem a sponsor
Most of the ghetto youths dem no have no future
It's crime and violence dem a feature
The politician dem no different from the preacher
Under psychs dem is the same creature
The gang of five a behave like the Gambinos
A gamble with your life like dem inna casino
Dem a thief, dem is not no hero
Dem nah go stop until you 'play zero'
You know long we a look fi a better tomorrow
Price increase, it a cut like Zorro
We can't even buy a phone card fi go use we Claro
The people inna pain and sorrow
Yeah na na na
Yeah yeah
Dem deh yah a run the thing like mafia
