RAP VERSE:
G C
Come I said put down your ratchet now
G
Rudeboy set down your gun
C G
L.A., Kingston, New York and London
C E
Move, nobody fight, form together as one

Fight back from that with love vibration
C E
Pull out, division, racism, and schism
D
We gonna make 'em flee, run
VERSE:
Easy, you know it ain't easy
Got to make a decision
Got to learn to say no, no, no...

A dead man can't hear all the calls
Who lives like a sheep in the city concrete
Never runs deep and dies from the heat

When you're rotting in jail, wish you would be
(E) (D)
Out on the street like Robin Hood
(G) (C)
All those who fall, those who try
(G) (C)
Let them go, oh victimize
(G) (C)
You see you ain't gonna take their power, demise
(E) (D)
Not in your lifetime see more hypnotized, come again

New York, L.A., back to Kingston (Kingston, JA)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)
All I see is youth fighting (youth them all they fight)
RAP VERSE:

Rudeboy set down your gun
L.A., Kingston, New York and London
Move, nobody fight, form together as one

Never runs deep and dies from the heat
Heat... heat... heat...heat...
