The More Dem Try Songtext
von Capleton

Doctor Rasta!
Red power!
Fire keep burning, we can′t cool
Can't cool, can′t cool

A the more dem try fi kill we, then a the more we live longer
More dem try fi weak me, then a the more me get stronger
More dem try fi fool me, then a the more me get wiser
Can't cool, the fire get redder
Unuh see it?
A the more dem try fi stop we, then a the more we reach further
More dem try fi kill me, then a the more me live longer
More dem try fi weak me, then a the more me get stronger
Can't cool, the fire get redder


Unuh see it?
A the heights weh it go reach
And a now the youth dem see it
Dem say, "Gwan bun the fire, Kalonji gwan teach"
A the heights weh it go reach
And a now the youth dem see it
Say, we can′t free fi dumb, me say we must free fi speak
A the heights weh it go reach
And a now the youth dem see it
Dem say, "Gwan bun the fire, Kalonji gwan teach"
A the heights weh it go reach
And a now the youth dem see it
We can′t free fi dumb
Yo!

Righteousness listen up, a dem come-come reject
Bare corruption you see say dem a accept
Pon dem airwaves and dem internet
A what dem televise then a totally mess
Bare fuckry dem write all inna dem concept
Bare propaganda dem spread inna the press
Imagine weh dem promote, a bare homosex, biosex, oral sex
Dem deh sex fi reject
Man a touch and vex, try waan wear woman dress
Man a lap her up and dem nuh stop grow breast
Man a touch and sex, while and a change dem sex
That's why the youth a rush when talk go next
That mean, a baby, dem a go waan next
That′s why the prophet haffi bun filthiness
What next?


A the more dem try fi kill we, then a the more we live longer
More dem try fi weak me, then a the more me get stronger
More dem try fi fool me, then a the more me get wiser
Can't provoke me to anger
Well
A the more dem try fi kill me, a the more me live longer
More dem try fi stop me, then a the more me reach further
More dem try fi fool me, then a the more me get wiser
Can′t cool, the fire get redder

Everyday dem get up and a bout dem a the best
How dem waan fi live like the wild, wild west
Everyday dem get up, gunshot dem waan press
Say, "Dem will shot you inna your face
Dem will shot you inna your chest"
But, dem parrot say, "Rastafari is the highest"
What is rightfully ours, a that dem waan come take
Dem don't love fi give, dem only love fi get
Dem never forgive and I will not forget
Me hail King Selassie I as the highest
When dem see the prophet, watch me hold on dem vest
Dem a try hold a drawl, a plastic you get
Me hail King Selassie, me nuh care what next
Unuh see it?

A the more dem try fi kill we, then a the more we live longer
More dem try fi weak me, then a the more me get stronger
More dem try fi fool me, then a the more me get wiser
Can′t provoke me to anger
Well
A the more dem try fi stop me, a the more me reach further
More dem try fi cool me, more me get redder
More dem try fi fool me, more me get wiser
Can't cool, the fire get redder

Yo
Yeah
Well, they say the old trick of divide and
Rule is still valid today in the West, enuh
So dem say divide dem and incite dem against
Each other, encouraging murder among themselves
And dem a say, then they say murder among black kids should
Bear a very little punishment, you know what I'm saying?
Then they implement methods like fertility
Destruction and fertility destroyer
So they say they will smuggle the drugs through the booze
And through the drinks there, and through the food
So they say, through the channel of
Blackness will reduce their population
And they are also investigating America mutuous rental through
Surrogate mothers to speed up the growth of their population
So why do it? Know it!
Ah, the reality of life and still try to oppose the fire
Well, I see some man dem a say dem all Rasta, weh shoulda suppose enuh
Fi a uplift the fire, yeah, dem a try
You know me a say, what me a say
Black people a gwan in the earth, now conclusion
No animosity, no...
