Bye Gones Songtext
von Jpresto

Oh, oh nah

Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone
Warring my rival, born for survival
Neva leff mi psalm, neva leff mi arms
Reprisals, dying for titles
Rinse and recycle, trapped in di cycle
Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone

Rageful, killing a di topic
Bleach pon yuh wid a loaded magazine, squeeze off
When yuh gate pull
Crocodile inna di matic, anuh di bullet weh kill yuh
A di hatred mi a carry, more painful
The soup get saggy, tun cold long time
Suh di revenge felt suh distasteful
Stereotypical labels, gangsters weh ignorant as a rage bull


Bye gone, be bygone
Warring my rival, born for survival
Neva leff mi psalm, neva leff mi arms
Reprisals, dying for titles
Rinse and recycle, trapped in di cycle
Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone

Mi alright though, living as life goes
If somebody affi dead, tell mi di time now
Mi too slick and sly fi tek di high road
If mi drop inna di pen, di squaddy bribe throw
Any likkle altercation, gun a rise now
Lower yuh voice, neutral yuh eyebrow
Look weh Ali duh to Liston, knock yuh light out
Mek yuh lie down, eternal timeout

Whip yuh wid mi pistol, mi shoes dem nuh need no supervision
Man on a mission, power and a vision
I am a villain, as a hero mi nuh belong
Tall ups to retreat nuh inna di plan
Taurus comfortable inna mi hand
Nuh inna matrix fi dodge precision
Bleeding out pon di curb, a regret yuh decision


Poverty, dat damage us
When yuh nav nuh money to dem yuh anonymous
Long time friends nuh friend again
Yuh gyal probably cut
Wol di faith and nuh mad out pon di viaticus
Nuh sell soul fi di money, it nuh value much
Do weh yuh love and weh yuh don′t, just seh adios
Money won't satisfy yuh all when yuh got enough
All when yuh do di right, somebody probably cuss

Even killers have feelings
Mi know yuh wouldn′t wanna feel this low
Everything happen fi a reason
Many used and abused and rebel di law
Zinc fences ghetto youth see
Swimming pool, picket fence inna TV show
Few ghetto youth go a UWI
Dem family a protect di concrete rose

Wul it pon di battlefield
Yeah, di tackle real
Haffi have ambition and di zeal fi mek money
Suh yuh neva guh without a meal
Work smart, gwan pray, let God reveal time
Dem seh time heal, but di scars of di past still remind me
Dem seh time heal, I am not di same, it nuh ideal

Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone
Warring my rival, born for survival
Neva leff mi psalm, neva leff mi arms
Reprisals, dying for titles
Rinse and recycle
Trapped in di cycle
Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone

Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone
Warring my rival, born for survival
Neva leff mi psalm, neva leff mi arms
Reprisals, dying for titles
Rinse and recycle
Trapped in di cycle
Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone

Inna di street yuh haffi see it and be blinded
Hear and deaf, never speak outrightly
Yuh neighbour just born bad-minded
Cyah change, dem haffi step wide quietly
Prepare to defend yuh life quick
Police wi kill yuh wrong place, wrong timing
This is a generation of dividing
Generations passed down fighting

Suh wul it pon di battlefield
Yeah, di tackle real
Haffi have ambition and di zeal
Fi mek money suh yuh neva guh without a meal
Let God reveal time, time

Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone
Warring my rival, born for survival
Neva leff mi psalm, neva leff mi arms
Reprisals, dying for titles
Rinse and recycle
Trapped in di cycle
Bye gone, be bygone
Bye gone, be bygone
