Protect your neck, protect your neck
Protect your head, don't take no check
Protect your neck and look over your shoulder
You a hear me now?
Do no come out after midnight
And inna broad daylight them a take life
So imagine after dark when the action start
What a go gwan?
Do no come out after X:30
Them the youth a well bloodthirsty
No make sundown catch you inna town
Take 'way yourself now
Over war and rico hill
The war never stand still
And inna garden
Me never see no cultivation nor no farming
A gwan
Them will done you inna Kirk
All over Waterhouse a grudge
Still them will wet you
It's like your life nuh have no weight
And you look inna callaloo bed
And you see unuh vegetarian alone
And get this straight, sah
Chant for a safer Jamaica
Who name them place you?
Them never know say word sound a power
You got to be careful
And protect your neck, protect your headback
Careful
And protect your neck, protect your headback
When you come out after X:30
No just no blue suit nor khaki
Nuff a pose like police and them a thief
Worse than the camera pop inna white sheet
Freaks come out anytime it touch dark
Watch how you walk inside the park
He turn she and she turn he, sad sight to see
Swap identity and waan go mingle with we
New Kingston
Me see the madhouse but me no see nothing done for my people
Still no one knows the reason
And me go ask a Hope Road
Still it was hopeless 'cause no one would hear my cry
The struggle still continue
And inna pale iron bun the pain no make we hold a joy
Get this straight, sah
Work for a safer Jamaica
Sweetest land, sweetest water
Dash 'way the pirate culture
You got to be careful
And protect your neck, protect your headback
Careful
And protect your neck, protect your headback
You got to protect your neck, protect your neck
Protect your head, don't take no check
Protect your neck and look over your shoulder
Well waan come out after X:30
Me no waan no curfew country
Woman and man tired fi lock up inna outh
Well waan come out and spout all 'bout
When we come out and start party
You no see no one hot like we
No make pagan mash up we country
In community sipping '11 and '93
Shooter's Hill
The war never stand still
And inna garden
Me never see no cultivation nor no farming
Now, them will done you inna Kirk
All over Waterhouse a grudge
Still them will wet you
It's like your life nuh have no weight
And inna callaloo bed
Me no see unuh vegetarian alone
Make we get this straight, sah
Chant for a safer Jamaica
Who name them place you?
Them never know say word sound a power
