Clowns Around Us

First, look at what dem a feed the little youths dem inna school
Pizza, cow milk, and the old can food
Can tuna, can beef, can chicken soup
This is why dem operate with can attitude
What mek dem wonder why the younger youths rude
Candy made available fi put dem inna mood
Sweet sugar cookie, cotton candy balloon
A dem weh show the youths man evolve from baboon
I am not a monkey but dem a cartoon
I and I ah king born with golden spoon
My people got empires done build up on the moon
So check the fire tune

They're clowns around us, running a circus
Look how hard and how long dem try work us
Plotting fi hurt us, vaccine insert us
Fi money, dem kill the ghetto youths with dem virus
Clowns around us, running a circus
Look how hard and how long dem try work us
Plotting fe hurt us, vaccine insert us
Fe money, dem a kill the younger people with virus

Babylon see and don't touch
Overstand meh principle before you get a fire cut
Selassie, me thank you very much
Fi keeping all the ghetto youths alive inna yuh plot
And nuff thanks me give to the Higher One of iration
Throughout meh life the evil try fi start complication
Never will you ever make me lose my meditation
I am too srong fi the funny persecution
Anytime you rise they wanna pull you down
When you get too hot they wanna cool you down
When you serious they wanna fool around
So when me check it, nuff a dem ah school a clown

They're clowns around us, running a circus
Look how hard and how long dem try work us
Plotting fi hurt us, vaccine insert us
Fi money, dem a kill the elephant and the walrus
Clowns around us, running a circus
Look how hard and how long dem try work us

I grew up with a mother and father lucky for me
So it was clear from birth ,that I was prepared for the earth
To bring love and spread love to somebody
No lie sometime it hurts to see it dirty and mucky for we
Rise over what we see and know what it is
Equality is the answer to the question on the most challenging quiz
Life's a test inner survival is the only for the best
The best is he who sacrifices for the rest

They're clowns around us, running a circus
Look how hard and how long dem try work us
Plotting fi hurt us, vaccine insert us
Fi money, dem a kill the ghetto youths with dem virus
Clowns around us, running a circus
