Standing Soldier Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
Demarco
Ghetto yutes
Dem nuh waan wi reach nuh weh
Dem only waan wi listen weh dem teach wi seh
Mister MP suh yuh mean to seh
Ghetto yutes nuh fi live nuh weh

[Chorus]
Dem waan wi fi fall
But dat nah hap'n, none at all
Dem waan wi fi fall
Raise up di food an' tek di dancehall
Man a standin' soldier
Yuh nah see wi bawl
Man a real standin' soldier
All when mi back against di wall
Man a real standin' soldier
Wi nah bow down an' crawl
Man a real standin' soldier
Jah Jah protect us all

[Verse 1]
Every day anodda yute a dead inna di ghetto
Stop di violence an' bloodshed inna di ghetto
Wi nuh waan fi see nuh more coke head inna di ghetto
Cyaan hardly afford piece a bread inna di ghetto
Help poor people treat dem right
Nurture di youths, don't give dem a fight
Pon poverty di bigga heads need fi shed some light

[Chorus]
Dem waan wi fi fall
But dat nah hap'n, none at all
Dem waan wi fi fall
Raise up di food an' tek di dancehall
Man a standin' soldier
Yuh nah see wi bawl
Man a real standin' soldier
All when mi back against di wall
Man a real standin' soldier
Wi nah bow down an' crawl
Man a real standin' soldier
Jah Jah protect us all

[Verse 2]
Wah decision poor people fi mek
Crime rate escalate, a di next ting a death
Inna di concret jungle yuh haffi watch weh yuh step
Di worst is to come, yuh see nut'n yet
Mi zeet everyday, mi zeet pon di TV
Mi nuh waan nuh more shelta seh missin' wi
Mr. Government, stop dissin' wi
An' set di people free, free

[Chorus]
Dem waan wi fi fall
But dat nah hap'n, none at all
Dem waan wi fi fall
Raise up di food an' tek di dancehall
Man a standin' soldier
Yuh nah see wi bawl
Man a real standin' soldier
All when mi back against di wall
Man a real standin' soldier
Wi nah bow down an' crawl
Man a real standin' soldier
Jah Jah protect us all

[Outro]
Dem nuh waan wi reach nuh weh
Dem only waan wi listen weh dem teach wi seh
Mister MP suh yuh mean to seh
Ghetto yutes nuh fi live nuh weh
Dem nuh waan wi reach nuh weh
Dem only waan wi listen weh dem teach wi seh
Mister MP suh yuh mean to seh
Ghetto yutes nuh fi live nuh weh
