Start First Songtext
von Skindred

Now what′s done in the dark must come to light
And some of them ah big up themselves
And ah grown with the badness
Jah know dat no right
You done know you ah fi come again
And renew your sight

Start first, start first, (say what)
Start first, start first, start first (say what) start first

In this time of fighting and confusion
Youth and youth dem just caught in pollution
Bear destruction it runs through the nations
Building walls constructing segregation
Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself
We should live in love and health


Oh, no we start; ah dem start first
Well one of you better give because
The time is gunner get worst
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
And can't you live together?
It′s like we're all under a curse
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
Well, hell is getting hot and into flames its gunner burst
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
And for a little peace you know the righteous dem a first

Revelation you know that it's dawning
Jerusalem, God′s time piece in the morning
Time to wake up and takeoff your makeup
O, ye sons and daughter of Jacob
Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself
We should live in love and health

Oh, no we start; ah dem start first
Well one of you better give because
The time is gunner get worst
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
And can′t you live together?
It's like we′re all under a curse
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
Well, one of you better give because
The time is gunner get worst
Oh, no we start first, ah dem start first
And for a little peace you know the righteous dem a first


Calling out to all who hear me? Can't we live in peace?
Calling out to all who hear me? Can′t we live in peace?
In this time man ah shot and ah murder
How much more, can we take it much further?

Start first, start first
Well, one of you better give because it's gonna get worst
Me say start first, start first
Hell is getting hot and into flames it′s gonna!
Oh, no we start first, dem start first
For a little peace you know the righteous dem ah!
Oh, no we start first ah dem start first
Hell is getting hot and into flames is gonna burst

Cah we say
Start first, second, third, fourth, fifth, last
