Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Aye
Aye
Mi nah watch no face, beg no more pardon
Enough drugs, money, dey a Cherry Garden
'Nuff individual society applauding
You can ask anybody where them get them start in
But 'nuff politician take the donation
So 'nuff criminal will never see a station
Never see a cell, not even a courthouse
But a every Sunday, we see them take the boat out
North coast resort and car dealership
The construction company, dem just don't legit
Use it, wash the money, turn it 'round and hide it
When the kickback dem come in, the government delighted
[Verse 2]
So, police cancel operation
'Cause no real bad man nah go station
Now if you check the situation
A blood money run the nation
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now
If what you see no really faze you
Then you are the problem what we face too
[Verse 3]
Was 'bout to buy an X6, you know
Maybe then I'd never have to be a prisoner
Maybe then I coulda not turn in my firearm
Police couldn't come remand
Come in like mi run an army
Was 'bout to be a politician too
Maybe then I coulda make any decision, look
Maybe then I'd make a hundred million disappear
Then mi act like mi nuh care
Watch you vote mi back in there
Because the sad reality
Inna Jamaica, say your status are your salary
Man deh road a carry one whole heap a felony
But them have a family a boost up the economy
[Verse 4]
So police cancel operation
'Cause no real bad man nah go station
Now if you check the situation
A blood money run the nation
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now
If what you see no really faze you
Then you are the
[Verse 5]
Is out of many, but a one set of people feeling it
How that real, society, you agree to this
Things are revealed, the garbage the machine spit
No smoke screen at Riverton nuh conceal it
Now the system failing, the gap a get wider
A matter of time before a total divide ya
You cross the line, man draw quick fi remind you
If you build it pon crime, then crime will have fi find you
And that's how it's been always
That no frustrate you like it do to me?
How much dead baby deh over jubilee?
How much youths did 10 when them run inna Tivoli
Now them 16, heart fry, head fricassee
[Verse 6]
So police cancel operation
'Cause no real bad man nah go station, aye
Now if you check the situation
A blood money run the nation
Come take a look inna Jamaica
Injustice in the place now
If what you see no really faze you
Then you are the problem what we face too
[Verse 7]
Aye
