Protoje - Criminal Lyrics

Sowing the seeds of life
In the youths them mind
Now, it's harvest time

Wo
Them a criminal watch it them a criminal
Seh them a criminal the whole a dem a criminal
Them a criminal watch it them a criminal
Seh them a criminal the whole a dem a criminal

Them a criminal
Nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal
Nah guh them feist
Tell em we nuh retreat we just gone to the east
Them a criminal
But a we follow jah law
Seet dem a gwaan with them tra la la la
Them a criminal
Them a criminal
Na nah na na

Jah a DI main shield
The eye them stay peel
The music stay real
Pickney pon the play field
Baby in the stomach
Mommy know the pain real
Headphone pon har belly
Watch him stay still
See how the son a shine
See how the reign feel
Jah beg yu keep him dry
I beg and pray fi him
Fi DI man dem weh a chop it up a Grange Hill
Fi DI man dem weh a cut it Inna cane field
Dem lock up Leonard Howell fi sell Selassie face
Dat couldn't stop the message this a Selassie place
A that you hear we reppin ask about what happen
Pon September 11, 1987
Then them kill we bretheren Tosh and Free I
So Rasta Reggae Radio could never see the light
Gwaan No believe in I, say I a Levi
Trod with the Simeon So act like u nuh see me

Them a criminal
Nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal
Nah guh them feist
Tell em we nuh retreat we just gone to the east
Them a criminal
But a we follow jah law
Seet dem a gwaan with them tra la la la
Them a criminal
Them a criminal
Na nah na na

The Son arise before the sun arise
Some despise it a so me summarise it
See some a eyes it wah sit weh I sit
Create a crisis but jah come give me ises
Uh huh Them send them dogs to the synagogues
But the lions align against the giunea-gogues
Mr. Inquisitor caa go see it pause
Home of Marcus, His Majesty did visit yaad
Me envision them timing a go critical
Dem select the pawn fi lef' it sticky poon we
Walter did warn we, Boukman did born deh
And go Haiti and revolution start, yeah
The same man dem in a Jacket and tie
A dem a pack the supply and attract you to buy
But that is a lie just fi try stack it up high
Well I never oblige I attack and survive

Them a criminal
Nah follow them
Take what them want then them gone back again
Them a criminal
Nah guh them feist
Tell em we nuh retreat we just gone to the east
Them a criminal
But a we follow jah law
Seet dem a gwaan with them tra la la la
Them a criminal
Them a criminal
Na nah na na

Them a criminal watch it them a criminal
Seh them a criminal the whole a dem a criminal
Them a criminal watch it them a criminal
Seh them a criminal the whole a dem a criminal
