Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know nuff a them woulda want we gone
I know them woulda want me gone
Sit down everyday and a wish we harm
Too much time on them hands, you no
But why would a king ever fear a pawn?
A king would never hear them
So what them a go do when they hear this one?
Bang, bang
[Verse 2]
No take tellings, want me no fi say this
Man will see you farm and gone inna you lettuce
People mean you harm, you can't tell what a friend is
Grudge you for your paper, scorn you for your pennies
When you no see me, me gone fi get replenish
Back up in the morning, can't forget the message, no
Avocado, she feel for it, me send it
Them yam and banana, it sweet to she belly, jeez
A what make life sweet so like a jelly
Climb fi it, it hard, can't easy so fi get it
Song de pon the radio, video pon the telly
Love in a me heart, me a spread it, catch the medi
[Verse 3]
People, oh people, got expectations (Expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (Eo guarantee)
People, oh people, all need salvation (Need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (No guarantee)
[Verse 4]
Some no like how you live, want fi carry you go court
Some will burn every bridge and still a look fi support
Jealousy is a cloud, check the weather report
That's why me tighten the ship and then me arm up the fort
Now the biggest of foes, once the closest of friends
But you know how it goes, oh the fake will pretend
Some will shake off your hand and break bread in your house
Soon as you turn your back they gon run up on your spouse
Some will say you no ras, 'cause you jump in a Benz
Like me never see Selassie  in a couple of them
Some a watch what you earn and a count what you spend
Always want it fi borrow, never have it fi lend
But you see
[Verse 5]
People, oh people, got expectations (Expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (No guarantee)
People, oh people, all need salvation (Need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (No guarantee)
[Verse 6]
Ay
No matter what them a go say me haffi live me life
No worries pon me head when me a go a bed a night
Mummy, daddy, sister, yara,  everybody nice
Cousin, aunty, bredrin, yeah them haffi get a slice
Man, them used to pack a thing and put it pon a bike
Send it go a town and them hitch it pon a flight
When it reach a foreign them a go triple the price
Benz inna community and bimma like a
Rice!
Get 'way with it once and so them haffi do it twice
One de underground, the other one a jail fi life
A valuable lesson, nothing happen overnight
[Verse 7]
People, oh people, got expectations (Expectations)
Will they love you? No guarantee (No guarantee)
People, oh people, all need salvation (Need salvation)
Will they save you? No guarantee (No guarantee)
Will they save you?
[Verse 8]
I wonder if them a save you?
Will they save you?
Will they, they save you
Wonder if they save you
I wonder if they goin' save you
Save you, whoa, save you now
I wonder if they goin' save you
