It Bun Me

Respect is going on tonight aspect
Ward a man in a prison for all the a reason
Can't judge a man before you walk a mile inna him shoes
Shags man say so, watch thisIt bun me fi see mi little brother in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the rail
It bun me, another black man in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the railHurt me fi see mi little brother in a jail
A 25 years to life and 50 million dollar bill
Many time trying to escape and many times fail
And eat him bread that is stale and get him lick with gippoNow the tracks are in tears, the boy face look pale
Man them beat him with the baton, read him personal mail
Him could a graduate Harvard and graduate Yale
But him mama have rebut it 'cause she know her son failIt bun me fi see mi brother in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the rail
It bun me, another black man in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the railBefore you commit the crime, make sure you can do the time
No bother pair with no idiot 'cause them we drop dime
Bank book have fi find in case you're off and bare the find
'Cause they will lock you in a prison away from mankindEveryday you bark your face when you have no gal fi grain

Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the railJamaica a the land of wood and water
The wood might a free but you have fi pay fi water
Every time light go down they use the wood make fire
Resources use up the country, hand up and shoutAnother man lick, yell help, we neither see or go
They hear beat, be and bib well none of them no better
Right a now we want a new brand prime minister
We want a little ghetto youth with some bright ideaIt bun me fi see mi little brother in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the rail
It bun me, another black man in a jail
Bun me fi see the youth stand up behind the railYouths and youths hitch up on the corner
