People a face it 
Oh them a feel it, woi 
Situation get out of control 
Every day another black man head roll 
My Jah what is this I'm beholding with my eyes 
From the smallest, from 5 to 10 years old 
Them saying them a shot alla dem cold 
Oh Jah what is this I'm hearing, oh lord 
I wanna know the whole truth of this 
The root of this, oh why 
How long will my people go on like this for no reason? 
This is no time, and no season 
This is no time, and no season 
Tell me you will stand and fight 
For our right 
People just unite 
It will be alright 
Jah will give us the might 
And shine a light 

This thing is getting out of control 
Every day another black man head roll 
My Jah what is this I'm beholding with my eyes 
To the smallest, from 5 to 10 years old 
Ah say that them a shot alla dem cold 
My Jah what is this I'm hearing, oh lord 

I wanna know the whole root of this 
The truth of this, yea 
How long will my people go on like this for no reason? 
This is no time, and no season 
This is no time, and no season 
Tell me you will stand and fight 
For our right 
All unite

Jah will give us the might 
And he'll shine his light 
Oh lord, oh lord

Every day another black man head roll 
My Jah what is this I'm beholding with my eyes 
From the smallest, from 5 to 10 years old
