Dem Gone
Gentleman Lyrics

Jah Jah is real!
The singer acknowledges the existence and power of Jah Jah.

Dem gone
Many people have left or departed, likely referencing the corruption and destruction caused by Babylon or other negative forces.

So far away
The negative forces have left and are distant, but still having a lasting impact.

The whole a dem ago regret it one day
All those who were part of the negative forces will eventually regret their actions.

Every day you get up and you wish to have a meal
People have basic needs, and often even those are difficult to attain.

Now you get a cut and you wish to have it heal
Every injury or hurt needs time and care to properly heal.

And still you can not accept that Jah Jah is real
Despite the evidence and experiences, people refuse to acknowledge the existence of Jah Jah or a greater spiritual force.

Tell me Mr. Man say whats the deal
Addressing those who are in power or those who are refusing to acknowledge Jah Jah.

You say you have everything sign and seel
Those in power believe they have everything under control and can manipulate situations for their own gain.

Thought you won the case but nox you a appeal
Even when they think they've won, something always comes back to challenge them.

You are the one who couldn't hear now you the one to feel
Those who refused to listen to others now suffer the consequences of their own actions.

Evidently clear we choppin' down your shield
We are cutting away the shield of power and influence that protects those in charge.

Mother earth was meant for man and woman to stay
People were meant to live on this earth and create a harmonious existence.

Me find out nuff a dem drifting away
Many are being pulled away from their natural purpose and existence.

Children can't even find a place fi play
The corruption and destruction make it difficult for children to experience carefree play and enjoyment.

Birds can't find no seeds, horses no hay
Other animals are suffering from a lack of resources due to the changes made by humans.

I see the weavers weaving but dem income delay
People are struggling to make ends meet and earn a living.

Still me see dem searching for a brighter day
Despite the struggles, people keep trying and looking for hope.

And now me come fi give it to you right away
The singer is here to give the real message and truth without delay.

Do you hear what I say
The message is important and needs to be heard and understood.

Whapen' them?
Asking what's happening to those causing destruction and harm.

Give me the mic deh for a moment make me talk to dem
The singer wants a chance to address those in power and speak truth to them.

And watch the eden dem a scatter when we walk to dem
Those in power are afraid of the truth and scatter when confronted with it.

And if you know you are not guilty stand up and don't you run
Those who are not responsible for the destruction need to take accountability and responsibility for change.

No, no to all my foes and friends
A message to both those who oppose and those who support their message or cause.

You may live to see today but you nuh know the end
The future is unknown and uncertain for everyone, regardless of their position.

Just read the writings on the wall its a message we send
The message is clear and apparent to anyone willing to look and listen.

And Babylon will never live to stop the rising of Jah son
Those in power will not succeed in suppressing the power and influence of Jah Jah.

Well, dem, dem
Repeating the fact that many people, particularly those responsible for corruption and destruction, are gone.
