Testo della canzone Self Defense (Protoje), tratta dall'album In Search Of Lost Time
(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)
