More Justice
Damian Marley Lyrics

Di youths dem saying justice, ah, weh dem really need overall
The younger generation is demanding justice, but not just in isolated incidents. They want a complete change in the way society treats them.

Di way dem deal wid mankind all mi gal start ball
The cruelty and unfairness that society inflicts upon individuals is so overwhelming that even a strong woman is reduced to tears.

Justice ah weh di youths dem need overall
What the young are looking for is a fairer society where justice is consistently delivered, not just for the elite.

Di way dem deal wid mankind
The manner in which society treats its citizens, especially its marginalized and downtrodden, is unacceptable.

She nah go cry fi no guy inna nah 3 piece suit
The woman has no interest in conventional and conventional-looking wealth. She would rather cry for social justice than a rich man's company.

Nor no pretty boy inna nuh crisp Nike boot
Similarly, a desirable appearance or trendy clothing won't drive her to tears. Her concerns lie elsewhere.

She nuh ball fi nah dapper, she nuh cry fi nah doop
She doesn't shed her precious tears for the well-dressed man or the stylish performer, as these frivolities hold no value in her eyes.

She shed those lonely tears for di little ghetto youths weh ballin'
Society has reduced these youths to a state of desperation, and witnessing their plight brings her to tears.

Stary, stary X-News and Gleaner
These are the tabloids frequently read by the masses that perpetuate and reinforce harmful societal norms and beliefs.

Foot might be dirty but his heart is much cleaner
The poor's outward appearance belies their true worth as decent human beings with intrinsic value.

Than those politicians fightin' down sensimillia
Politicians have bigger fish to fry than marijuana, and their misguided attacks on it reflect their misplaced priorities.

Get up every day dem want fi run this arena
Politicians are power-hungry and prioritize their own positions and egos over serving the people.

Extra, extra read all about it
The newspapers thrive on fear-mongering and sensationalism to maintain their profit margins.

Ghetto youths in need and there is no doubt about it
The youth living in poverty require urgent attention, and there is no disputing the fact that societal injustice plays a role in their situation.

If baby, want feed and can't do without it
If a child is hungry and desperate for food, then it is society's duty to provide for them through means such as welfare and food banks.

Big 45 goin' to scout it
The artist's intention is to use a large firearm to find resources to support the desperate youth.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to sell some marijuana
The usage of everyday nursery rhymes is indicative of how censorship can occur in everyday activities like selling marijuana.

Buck up the fed dey broke jack crown and Jill
The police have cracked down on ordinary people selling marijuana, which has led to the arrest and punishment of insignificant players in an unjust system.

Came tumbling after, little Bo peep she had lost her sheep
The singer is describing a loss of innocence and a breakdown of societal norms and values.

To thief inna di pasture and if one try do dat again
If anyone tries to steal from the vulnerable people again, there will be disastrous consequences, and the voice of the oppressed will rise up to defend them.

It's goin' to bring disaster king of Kings and di Lord of Lords
If people ignore the plight of the oppressed and continue with cruel behavior, there will be catastrophic consequences brought on by a deity with an unimaginable amount of authority.

Everlasting Ever laster inspire I and I to be a microphone blaster
The power of music and the ability of the artist to speak truth to power is immensely inspirational and motivational to the artist.

We nah goin bow down to no slave master
The singer and the oppressed will no longer be under the control of those who have abused their power to harm their fellow citizens.

Help di youths first and ask di question dem after
The artist emphasizes that the youth and those who suffer are a priority, and society must work towards their needs without questioning their worthiness of support on any grounds.

Youths dem callin' out
