Gangster - Macka B

Yuh no e a seh, every body cyah not be a gangsta

An' that live is not for I

That live is not for I

Am only healin' of the most I

I-I

Am Macka B — oneness!

(Jah!)

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

I & I head up Rastafarai

I’m only fighting for liberation

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

But if a b’woy violate

Me tell a nuh — strain

Things could a bad dung dung dung

From a yuth man I didn’t wanna be that

No me a big man, I could a neva pree that

But just because yuh see that

Yuh cyah tek a worry off a idea

Beca' if I war

It must be fi a cause

Cyah kill a man just because

Eh' might a step pon yuh toe

O look o’pon yuh hearth

Tired of unnecessary wars

I leave that alone

Me n’inna dat a' zone!

I seh Marcus Garvey

An' not Al Capone

Marcus gimme the worry

Then, the power an' the sound

Look to Africa

ReggKing will be crowned

Like a stone!

No more will I — my r’own

Nah follow nah body

Advise me follow but me own

I & I are trampel babylon

Dem man underground

From Washington right dung to Rome

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

I&I head up Rastafarai

I’m only fighting for liberation

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

But if a b’woy violate

Me tell a nuh — strain

Things could a bad dung dung dung/

Seh babylon gwan like they criticize it

But di truth is they love to glamourise it

And instead of despise it

Dem encouraging di youths dem fi rise it

It a in a dem movies it aso in a dem music

Some time its hard fi di youths dem fi refuse it

But I man nah excus’in

Cause a everybody’s own choice fi choosing

Cause ina life yuh got two roads to choose

One yuh a gan a win, an' di other one yuh loose

Seh Babylon a try fi get dem youth dem confused

Put dem face pon di headline news

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

I&I head up Rastafarai

I’m only fighting for liberation

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

But if a b’woy violate

Me tell a nuh — strain

Things could a bad dung dung dung/

‘Nough a di youth dem

Who a go dung di gangsta path

Deep dung they really have a good good heart

‘nough a dem wish they neva did start

But circumstance set dem off

‘nough a di youth dem

Intellegent an dem smart

A inna anything that could mek dem hurt

Dem have powers da dem don’t even realise

Coming from dem ancient past

Yah!

Everybody cyah badda nuh di gangsta walk

Everybody cyah badda nuh di gangsta talk

But that deh not means that yuh soft

Nah means you stupid and daf

Yuh know seh money could a neva be me boss

Haile Selassie a me Chief of Star

Too much likkle young lives get lost

Dem Babylon line dem across

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

I&I head up Rastafarai

I’m only fighting for liberation

I don' wanna be a gangsta

I don' wanna kill no one!

But if a b’woy violate

Me tell a nuh — strain

Things could a bad dung dung dung/

From me a yuth man I didn’t wanna be that

No me a big man, I could a neva pree that

An' just beco yuh see that

Yuh cyah tek a worry off a idea

Because if I war

It must be fi a cause
