Don’t Shoot Songtext
von Jahcoustix ft. Kabaka Pyramid & Raphael

What is going on
Oh nan nan oh nan nan oh nan
Ey ey, yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Oh, oh yeah, yeah

Who′s gonna save your soul tonight? (Who?)
Mama waan fi shoot the gun
Everything's gonna change
Who′s gonna save you
What to do when there is no way out? (No way)
Mama waan fi shoot the gun
Mama gonna shoot the gun
Before the soldiers come


Who's gonna save us all
When dem a try fi jail us all
The system nuh teach we wrong from what is right, yeah yeah
Ourselves we fight against
When evil we fi rise against
Selassie give I the orders to unite
So what do you gain when you shoot your brother down
And who do you blame when your judgement a come
There is no escape
You put your soul at stake and there's no one to save you
Pain and destruction, dem ting nuh really faze you
You′re not a soldier, you′re not fighting for no cause
The question is to what you can rely on for the task, yeah
But guns are not the answer
A your animal nature you fi conquer
Mi asking

Who's gonna save your soul tonight? (Who?)
Mama see the children crying
Everything′s gonna change
Who's gonna save you
What to do when there is no way out? (No way)
Mama haffi shoot the gun
Mama gonna shoot the gun
Before the soldiers come


Blame it ′pon the system
Blame it 'pon the government
Dem should protect and listen
And work fi the betterment
But dem a bunch of thieves
Dem haffi fall like leaves inna winter
Haffi remove dem like a splinter
SOS, our people suffering for too much stress
What should be a good life, it all a big mess
Whole a sickness, madness beat inna dem chest
You see another mama cry
Her son got shot and rolled and died
She nuh know the reason why
She could not even say goodbye

Who′s gonna save your soul tonight? (Who?)
Mama haffi shoot the gun
Everything's gonna change
Who's gonna save you
What to do when there is no way out? (No way)
Mama haffi shoot the gun
Mama gonna shoot the gun
Before the soldiers come

What do you see when you look into the mirror
What will you do when your children get bigger
When they come of age and they consider
Papa was a bad man pulling the trigger
No time for no excuses
What you don′t want, you gotta refuse it
Don′t abuse and a use all the things that you choose
It's up to you
I see you living in paradise
But you might never witness a new sunrise
Before you criticize, look in the mirror

Who′s gonna save your soul tonight? (Who?)
Mama see the children crying
Everything's gonna change
Who′s gonna save you
What to do when there is no way out? (No way)
Mama haffi shoot the gun
Mama gonna shoot the gun
Before the soldiers come
