Kezi Lyrics


Kezi is a woman have nine children an'she seven months pregnant with twins .
Police come in, they knock down the door while Kezi did gone to bathe.
And they find five children aged six months to eight in a wood shack that dilapidated and they charge poor Kezi with abandonment and give her: six months in jail.
And the people say "your honour have mercy please, the woman have nine mouth to feed".
But the people have no power "less they burn down a church and seize the power that they need.
And it have some who say that Kezi did bound to go down in the royal jail.
How you will have nine children and still want to make two more?
When you poor no arse and you cyar feed them,
What you making baby for?
What you making baby for?
You eh see how water passing where you squatting by the wharf, my Lord.
When rain fall is mud and jackass rat that eating out your baby mouth.
But you sit down on the courthouse steps and you cry and holding your head in your hand.
If was me a give you six months more and take them children away.
But the people have no power, so they plead and moan but the judge won't throw out the case.
Ms Hady and her two daughters one Sunday they walking, they coming up the highway and a big van jump and cut them right down only blood like marrow in the ground.
And the people call out for the justice and they down the government road cause the people have a right to break down the cage if they voices will not be heard.
Then murder in the hills up above the city

Gun pop look a youthman dead
Gun pop look a youthman dead...
A stray bullet pass and enter one house and shoot mother Mavis dead.
Now, Mavis was a woman that mind children, she feed them, she give them a home.
So the people call out for gun control but cocaine don't have no soul.
And the government still playing ego tricks and they want resistance to dead.
Is so things does go in a money city when some people can't touch the gold but even shanty town have satellite tv and the police making patrol.
But some police corrupt, they kidnap and steal they really don't give one fuck.
But the people have the power to burn down the town but they don't know the power that they got so, they get drag
Lord, tell me why it have so much things wrongs with this beautiful country.
Tell me why it have so much thing going wrong in the beautiful island...
