Devin Di Dakta - System Matic Lyrics

CHORUS

What will you do?
When di system you created turn on you
But yuh know you're safe anytime yuh in your room
Place the blame elsewhere, I'd do that too

VERSE 1

Unu waah ban Gun songs from Jamaica? Well fine
But ban it cuz yuh waah fi move do Genre forward but doh blame wi Fi crime
Weh unu feel like? Di lady weh blind?
Unu want mi fi refresh unu mind? Bring unu back ina time?
Weh we fi start from? 1989?
Or 1980? NO
Let's start from 1965
When politicians start mek Garrisons fi keep dem alive
Ina bullets dem have we people a dive.

Dem build gangs and dons alot
And den dem issue Guns & Funds, weh unu think would Happen After dat?
Research Newton's Third Law that's a fact
So Weh unu a cry fah? This is just the aftermath
Check crime rate back then, tell mi what's the stats
A just di sheriff Bob did shot, what's the catch?
Nuh gun song never did a mek a tell man lack nuh strap
But ppl still did a dead right? A guess not.

Welcome Gunpon teeth Don Gorgon, hands a clap
And den di Don Dadda, that's a clash
Bounty and Beenie wait, a mad cobra dat?
Bumbaaaat staarr watch e fans a rock
A just fi entertainment, sound string up and pans a Knock
Dubplate mek money a run, soundman say dem song yah shot
A dat mek nuff guy a stop from fire shot unless a 45 Shoot Out, when another sound a fire back

Plus di Artists dem di dunce back den
Yo dem word count did low, dem deevn got ten
No disrespect still, mi know say time did harder
Dem couldn't afford school like uptown youths ina dem yard yah

So now dem words a mek more vivid painting
Music is art, it reflects Life, So now yuh see yuh system failing
A youth ave guns blazing, yow it hard for blame him
Cuz it's a high chance, a Manley or Seaga create him
A
A di dons weh unu build recruit di youths
A it a plague we now
Yuh waah fi kill di tree, kill di root
Clean up Parliament, dat yuh fi do
Di obese one dem ina khaki suit
Woll heap a dem you affi move

CHORUS

What will you do?
When di system you created turn on you
But yuh know you're safe anytime yuh in your room
Place the blame elsewhere, I'd do that too

VERSE 2

Mi naah go lie, me agree say dem Gun talking Deh fi stop
But how dem ago Dweet when there's a market Deh fi dat
Yow it simple when mi nuh waah fi hear gun argument a chat,
Mi go pon Jada Kingdom page go watch r aaa when it a clap
Shenseea croches fat up ina dah shorts Deh weh she got
Mi wuda like fi rip off spice garci noir from di back
So unu seet? Me nuh affi a listen nuh man a chop
Plus woll heap a positive music Deh yah, cut unu crop

Ofcourse Music powerful, so ask we fi assist
Use we voice and try reach di yutes, bredda we naah resist
But di crime Dem weh a gwaan? Unu cyaa blame Artists
Anyway, roll out artists we country need fi fix

Especially di one dem weh love talk about Chop
Show di people dem say yuh not all about dat
A Peaceful 2021, build a hype around dat
