Konshens - Fight The Ban Lyrics

[Intro:]
Yow
Me support di radio brand
But yuh see if deh tek it to di streets
It cya work... yuh mad
Konshens

[Verse 1:]
Listen now...
Long time me kno seh dem a evil
And now dem show di whole world
Seh dem nuh cater fi people
Dem seh dem a protect dem pickney
But tell me wahppen to di gatey
And di supey and di jerky pickney
Keep yuh pickney outta di dancehall
If yuh neva deh deh den yuh name cya call
Tell me wat yuh wah di people fi do
A nuh everybody have a 9 to 5 like youuuuu
Me nah sing no chorus dis is not a song
A just di cry from a desperate man
Dem wah di whole a di dancer dem fi hitch up inna gang
And di selecta dem fi tun gunman

[Chorus:]
Tek yuh hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Mister leader
Passa Passa nah keep a yuh yard
Weh mek yuh wah fi fight it soh hard
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Di likkle street dance
Mek a whole heap a youth have a chance
Jamaica mek we tek a stance

[Verse 2:]
But watch ya now,
Wen dem come
And dem a chat up dem mouth
Dem nuh care about di people dem weh really a feel it
Dem betta open up dem eyes
And realize seh we a go bawl fi di music cah we need it
Who care about di people from di Garrison area
Di youth dem weh seh livity and money fu deh area
From di artist to promoter, director to di dancer
Youth dem weh a juggle herbs pan di corna
Wahppen to di lady weh a boil har corn
Wahppen to di gangsta dem weh cuda deh outta road a beat up corn
Inna di dance dem deh a ring up alarm
And everybody calm
And watch di girls dem a whine and a gwan
Bossman, dis ain't a chorus me nah sing no song
A just di cry from a desperate man
Dem wah di whole a di dancer dem fi hitch up inna gang
And di selecta dem fi tun gunman

[Chorus:]
Tek yuh hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Mister leader
Passa Passa nah keep a yuh yard
Weh mek yuh wah fi fight it soh hard
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Di likkle street dance
Mek a whole heap a youth stand a chance
Jamaica mek we tek a stance

[Verse 3:]
Long time me kno seh dem a evil
Dem mek it clear seh dem nuh care
And dem nuh cater fi people
Dem seh dem a protect dem pickney
But tell me wahppen to di gatey
And di supey and di jerky pickney
Keep yuh pickney outta di dancehall
If yuh neva deh deh den yuh name couldn't call
Tell me wat yuh wah di people fi do
A nuh everybody have a 9 to 5 like youuuuu
Me nah sing no chorus dis is not a song
A just di cry from a desperate man
Dem wah di whole a di dancer dem fi hitch up inna gang
And di selecta dem fi tun gunman

[Chorus:]
Tek yuh hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Mister leader
Passa Passa nah keep a yuh yard
Weh mek yuh wah fi fight it soh hard
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Tek yuh dutty hand off a we culture
Di likkle street dance
Mek a whole heap a youth have a chance
Jamaica mek we tek a stance
