A what go on inna this society?
Did it ever occur to you
The wrong segregation have done to one and all
(no segregation, no segregation)
Brothers hating brothers
And sisters hating sisters too
(no segregation, no segregation)
Seen some ladies off the street
With very, very, very sad faces
I said lady, lady, lady, lady tell me
What's happening to your faces
She said joseph, Joseph, Joseph
Can't you see that I'm a widow?
(Then I turn and say )
What takin place with your husband
Or what a gwaan with your boyfriend?
(Oh so sad pretty pretty lady still)
She said my husband's gone to war
And I'm left alone to take care of the children
(no segregation)
And so because of that
This one have a gun
That one have a gun hey hey
Tell me what's going on
Children just can't grow like that in the ghetto. What?
This one have a gun
That one have the gun hey
Tell me what's going on
It's been said in Africa
It takes a village to grow a child
(no segregation, no segregation)
But if you councel a man child today
They introduce a thing called child abuse
And because of that
This one have a gun
That one have the gun
Tell me whats going on
(Nowadays in society where mak de
Where the bwoy them?)
This one have a gun
That one have the gun
Hey I don't know whats going on
It is said in the good old bible
Save not the rod and spoil the child
(no segregation, no segregation)
But it is better for us to teach them well and scold them
And bring them up in the right way (oh yeah, oh yeah)
Never let them run too wild in the ghetto
But grow them under control
Otherwise this is what you'll see brothers
This one have a gun
That one have a gun...
