Joshua Plakoo - Listen Up Lyrics

Dem run when i pon patrol
Fire can't quench fire outta control
Plaka dis the real don is in control
Guns haffi silence bad boys run and go home
No body come out from 8 to 6
If me give them approve then the party fix
If me shout out do that then you can't do this
Foreigners around tonight so nobody thief
Nobody frass burn di spliff
If the liquor to hard memba weed
And if the nicotine call burn chalice
Higher higher everywhere ka we run the thing
Listen Up
Now listen up and listen clear
No boy can broke shops in the slum this year
Police give the rasta a listening ear
Give a helping hand to the man who wheel in chair
We want peace and love in di street
Only if the strong can protect the week
We don't want injustice we don't want no greed
Pay heed to the song and these words i speak

Listen Up
No shatta can give a youth gun
Listen Up
Seriousness and we nuh come to rump
Listen Up
This sound will buss a deaf ear drum
Listen Up

Under 18 no out after dark
Listen Up
The youth must watch old people back
Listen Up
And i say say no to drugs
Listen Up

Kids in bed and dem sleep in peace
We must learn to share in our communities
Don't be stingy with food and commodities
Unite and put away all the differences
Cheating the youth we won't accept
Every don and youth haffi split dem share
If it is 60 40 then you split it clear
Cos every youth want smile and buy a benz this year
Pass the herb and let me puff it up
Let them know the cure and not the mixing up
Cocaine to the brain just ago mash you up
And this fidi youth, you better listen up

Listen Up
No shatta can give a youth gun
Listen Up
Seriousness and we nuh come to rump
Listen Up
This sound will buss a deaf ear drum
Listen Up
Listen Up

And no man can harass no girl
Listen Up
It could be your mother
Listen Up
And i say that is the fact

Real gangster must watch a man shoulder
Don't fight woman

Nuh leaky leaky the gyal sexy picture

Youth go to jail every time mama bail out
You better careful
