Modern Day Judas

Now in comes the musical thing

From the King's offspring

Jesse Royal

Yeah, some people you'll rate

And them still choose to show you hate

Yeah, run dem out a yuh yard

From dem a play bad card

And dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Ay, ay, so why should I be afraid of you

When you bleed just like I do?

The more you try fight, Jah, Jah, light keep shinin' through

So I've got no time for you

'Cause inna my view, you wanna step in mi shoe

You wish you never live a loo and feel so damn confused

Oh, every day you wake, you ache

Because you know you fake

And every step you take a bring you closer to your grave

But I am like a column, we no easily shake

Mi certain seh a fi mi, none a unuh cyaan take

We guided by the master, defender of the fate

Yes, ordained to be great

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

But yuh teeth and tongue gonna let you down

Reward for your words shall be profound

Oh, screw all you want, but go loo and drown

Mi slew you like Goliath with a stone from my crown

Not even the dog that pisseth on the wall of Babylon

Shall escape in this time

So words to the wise, choose the right side

And don't be hindered by yuh foolish pride

I seh no weapon formed against I, and I shall prosper, prosper

So tell mister force ripe and magwa dog

Disrespect and face disaster

'Cause dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

But I man denied concoctions you brew

You cyaan give me spliff weh mi never see yuh slew

You cyaan give me stew, not even cashews

Some a seh mi parro, some a seh a narrow views

But I can't forget what Adolf did the Jews

And what his friends did to the Tuff Gong too

All in the name of suppressing the truth

But I absolute, mi dem can't pollute

'Cause dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas

Spreaders of rumors

Oh, dem a backbiters

Hypocritical two side lass

We call them modern day Judas
