MUD UP (Albert Craig)
So the system mud-up
Pon the frontline it blood-up blood-up
Babylon you fi ease-up ease-up
You just a push and a squeeze-up squeeze-up
Cast away your evil spell
Jah will por some water in the well
'Cause you so greedy-greedy
You rob the poor and needy-needy
You and your fancy talking
You cool and Deadly walking
You Furmans them stalking, brutalizing and shooting
Dramatizing pon the televee
How the police them a batter we
People mek we unite-unite
'Cause this ya street fight right
Babylon just a bust-up we head
We little children shot down and dead
Where it begin? When will it end?
When lion and tiger becomes friend
And a him a back-up back-up
Pull me over and a ruff-up tuff-up
Expensive car and gold a shock-out
Jealousy rage, start rip-out rip-out
Work so hard just to survive you see
But the Babylon a envy me
'Cause him system design
Fi hold me down and keep me behind
Move you red eye back-off a mine
You just a grunt and a dig like a swine
You fi ease-up ease-up
You just a squeeze-up squeeze-up
Penalizing harassing each day
Trying to take I freedom away
