Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mama shi a ball hungry print pon are forehead
Cousin him a cry seh him an poverty married
Him no eat no food from last week
Plus the likkle pickiny dem a ball
Santa never bring the barrel
Never bring the present
An him never bring the sorrel
Tell dem Selassie high issued a warning
()
The cup dem full an run ova
When the cup dem full an run ova
A judgement, judgement
Fi you mister man inna yo Benz an yo Rover
The cup dem full an run ova
When the cup dem full an run ova
A judgement, judgement
Fi you mister man inna yo Benz

Dem haffi give up, when dem si live up
Tell dem the youth dem cup full an it a run ova

Chronixx's song "Judgement" communicates the pain and suffering experienced by people in poverty-stricken areas who are struggling to make ends meet. The song begins with Papa crying out that he has no money in his wallet, followed by Mama who is hungry and can't feed her children. The situation is so dire that even the children are crying out because they have not had anything to eat in a week. The chorus of the song emphasizes that the "cup dem full and run ova" for those who are well-off and riding in their cars while others suffer in poverty. The song describes the frustration felt by people who cannot afford basic necessities such as water, electricity, and education. The lyrics suggest that the people in power, such as the politicians in Parliament, should address these issues and take action.
The second verse outlines the harsh reality of the impoverished area, where young people are mixing concrete and are unable to afford basic utilities such as water and electricity. The mothers of these children are unable to pay for their children's education, but they manage to find money to give to the church pastor who is revealed to be a thief. The chorus repeats itself, emphasizing that the "cup dem full and run ova" and that judgment will be experienced by those who are driving fancy cars while others suffer.
The third verse suggests that Babylon (the oppressors in this context) are wondering why Chronixx is so angry. "Babylon" realizes that they cannot handle the youth's anger and assertions. Chronixx describes the passion that he brings to the fight for justice, stating "The fire weh a burn from mi pissenta." The chorus repeats once more, emphasizing that the "cup dem full and run ova" and that judgment is imminent for those who oppress others through their wealth and power.
