Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up your mind
Kingston, just be wise
Kingston, free up the eye, yeah
[Verse 2]
Went the city, I go click-clack-blow
You bet government fingers and tic-tac-toes in it
And while they working on the Xs and Os
I'm living I-N-I like I'm Mr. Kamoze
No surprise when they sending foes to me
Opposite of when plain clothes approaching me
Follow their rules is what they propose to me
Selling their souls for what is owed, you see
Nothing is owed, nothing is promised
Never know the government woulda run up in of them garrison
We don't know sorry, we don't excuse
Told your money let them know everybody get's abused and
Everybody have them views now
The media is owned, so know where you get your news from
Under blunder, get your shoes now
When them walking trace looked them hard in them face
And say
[Verse 3]
Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up your mind
Kingston, just be wise
Kingston, free up the eyes, yeah
[Verse 4]
Now all damage can't quantify
Right rain could not sanctify
Say enough of them, them simply die
So this city I intensify
Say the ghetto them a gentrify
Well, I, nobody no identify
'Nough bodies unidentified, and yes, I lied
They would be lonely, up on Saturday
Buried Sunday like salamander gone day
Like I know sons of Solomon they are gone day
Late night, we like them pina colada long day
Soft division, them really underhanded
So learn it, 'cause them come back, we done planned it
So tell me, how far do you wanna go now?
'Cause them a rat-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta when you pow, pow, pow
[Verse 5]
Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up your mind
Kingston, just be wise for me
Kingston, free up the eyes, yeah
[Verse 6]
Hum
And do you understand me, man?
Hum
Yeah
It's live from the capital city
Hey, hey
Be wise
Be wise
For me
Kingston, Kingston
Kingston, be wise
Kingston, free up the eyes, yeah
