We don't want a situation where the people dem a suffer through a senseless.. Revolution
We don't want a situation where people are suffering from a pointless revolution

Now we're dealing with the violence and they're killing one another for the politics? an illusion
We are dealing with violence and murders that come from a false sense of political belonging

They talk about peace while dividing all the people into tribal affiliations
They hypocritically speak of peace while pitting people against each other based on their tribal affiliations

Only one thing left for the people of the area, destruction... elimination
Destruction and elimination are the only options left for the people of the area

And so we Ransom the senator

How many years of oppression and the innocent a suffer? So we ransom the senator
Because of years of oppression and suffering, we hold the senator for ransom

From the election we don't know what we've got... The difference with the have and have nots... So many people a suffer on your watch and so we ransom the senator
We don't know what we got from the election and the gap between the rich and poor has caused suffering, so we hold the senator for ransom

Liberate all souls from the practice of corruption hear the youth cry inna one voice
Free everyone from corruption, hear the unanimous cry from the youth

Deliver us from the valley of the shadows of destruction under gunpoint. You left us no choice
Save us from destruction under threat of violence, you left us with no other option

You have drained the nation, we have nothing more to give

And so we ransom the senator
So we hold the senator for ransom

Hear me now big it up fi de heathens question fi de in de meeting of the minds of the global business

You talk about peace and you think about war for de benefit a capital gain
You talk about peace but actually plan for war for the benefit of capital gain

You find enemies and you make them fight from the middle a political game
You manufacture enemies and force them to fight in the middle of a political game

No more violence or bloodshed tonight

Listen up and you just might survive
Listen to us if you want to survive

Well, Jah Jah Children. This is a bloodless revolution. Blindfold the senator, shave his head, leave him in the worst neighborhood. Let him feel how it is to live without privilege for just one night.... and realize if you don't change your ways, the right time Soon Come
This is a nonviolent revolution. Blindfold and humiliate the senator, leave them in the poorest neighborhood to realize the consequences of their actions, and hope they change before it's too late
