ARTISTE: PRODIGAL SON

Verse 1

No kill no more a dem so

Low gully people pickney mek dem grow

No kill no more a dem so

no execute them like sey dem a dogs or crows

No kill no more a dem so

Gully people pickney dem a di future for tomorrow

No kill no more a dem so

A di product unnu a reap of whey unnu sow

This is a gully mama struggle, a gully mama cry

A gully mama pickney get shot down and die

A gully mama begging help from the Most High

She cry until her pressure sky high

Verse 2

Now what do you have to say

To the innocent child weh die because yuh bullet stray

What do you have to say

To a babymother weh a watch her babyfather getting slay

What do you have to say

Mama a watch her one son get taken away

What do you have to say

When all the headline in the news sounding the same way

What do you have to say

Yow, mi know no nearby bushes no deh a New Kingston no way

What do you have to say

A the same gun recycle planted pon the youth again

What do you have to say

Stand up and face the pressure, don't you try to run away

And no kill no more a dem so

Low gully people pickney mek dem grow

No kill no more a dem so

A di product unnu a reap a weh unnu sow

Verse 3

Mi naa defend yuh wrongs when mi sing mi songs

But mi a fi tek a stance, and I have questions

I must be naive so show me which trees all di gun dem grow pon

Or should I ask whose plane or whose ship all di guns dem stow pon

Please answer mi questions before you wash yuh bloody hands

Yow just give we a break, we tired a go jail go bake

We sick and we fed up a unnu bureaucratic red tape

Di whole a we yard dutty so no try give me no rake
