See The Mothers Cry Lyrics
Hatred is all I see
Devastation and misery
And brothers who love to see
Their other brothers in the cemetry
Free de cell dem inna de penitentiary
Gives us food over poverty
Maliciousness a silly tendency
Suddenly…I’m tired
To see the mothers cry
When their innocent son dies
And when the bullets fly
Another gone down inna driveby
And I wonder why
Why there’s so much blood shed
How can you kill the little yout
You lead de yout go shoot
Hey you musse sick in you head
Rudeboy no bodda wi de gunplay
From Sunday to Sunday you inna dismay
Jus build wi nyabinghi and listen de drum play
Prayer will get you far so children learn to pray
From Kingston go straight to Mowbay
From Germany and France back to Zimbabwe
From Mandela to president Mugabe
Obama call back de troops today
I’m tired, to see the mothers cry
When their innocent son dies
And when the bullets fly
Another gone down inna driveby
And I wonder why
Why there’s so much blood shed
How can you kill the little yout
Lead de yout go shoot
Hey, you musse sick in you head
Ah 28 dem kill inna Connecticut
Including children, lord God me hurt me gut
Tears fall from me eyes and full up de turf
Because I’m tired, I had enough
Hey we need some more self control
Young and old, save your soul
Ghetto yout seek salvation and be brave and bold
Cauz it doesn’t pay to play the bad man role
I’m tired, to see the mothers cry
When their innocent son dies
And when the bullets fly
Another gone down inna driveby
And I wonder why
There’s so much blood shed
How can you kill the little yout
You lead de yout go shoot
Hey, you musse sick in you head
Dem musse sick in dem head
Hatred is all I see
Heartaches and misery
And brothers who love to see
Their other brothers in the cemetry
Free the prisoners outta de penetentiary
Food over poverty
Make it safe for you and me, suddenly
I’m tired, to see the mothers cry
Another innocent son dies
And the bullets fly
Another gone down inna driveby
And I wonder why
So much blood shed
How can you kill the little yout
You lead de yout go shoot
You musse sick in you head
I wonder why
