    LYRICS

     Protoje - Criminal  (2015)

    Dem a Criminal naa follow dem take wha dem want then dem gone back again
    Dem a Criminal naa go them feast, we nuh retreat we just gone to the east
    Dem a Criminal but a we follow Jah law see dem a fraud with them tra la la la
    Them a Criminal oh Them a Criminal Na Na Na NA

    Jah a the main shield
    The eye dem stay peeled
    The music stay real fi pickney pon the play field
    Baby in the stomach, mummy now the pain real
    Headphone pon her belly watch him stay still
    See The son a shine see how the reign feel
    Jah beg u keep him dry i beg i pray fi him
    Fi the man den weh a chop it up a grange hill
    To the man dem weh a cut it in a 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.

    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
