Dem shot me friend, him lay down (lay down)
No justice in dis town
[Interlude]
Woii Woii
Woooooooah well
Woii woii
Wooooah
Him just a youth, trying to survive (survive)
Hunger in his eyes, a hope deprived
Babylon come down, with no mercy (no mercy)
Took his life for a bite, can't you see?
[Chorus]
Oh Jah, why must we live this way?
In a world where the innocent pay
Tears on the sidewalk, echoes of pain (of pain)
Families crying out in vain
How many more must we lose, oh Jah? (oh Jah)
Injustice wrapped in law's cold embrace
[Verse 2]
Him was a soul with a heart of gold (of gold)
But this cruel world, left him cold
