Victim
Runkus Lyrics

Government say dem a govern
The government claims to have control over the people

Dem take every dime and dem take every nickel
The government takes all the money from the people

Yet don't mek no sense and dem stubborn
Despite this, the government doesn't make any sense and refuses to listen

Is like dem waan bruk we up until we cripple
It seems like the government wants to break us down until we can't stand anymore

Well we dem a walk on and run on
But we keep going even when faced with the government's oppression

But tell dem we tallawah although we likkle
Let them know that we are strong and fierce, even though we are small

Warrior while dem a worry-er
We are warriors while the government worries

Watch me go hurry and lead out the innocent
Watch me as I hurry to protect and lead the innocent

Bare dead body pile
There are many dead bodies piling up

The youths dem getting wild
The youth are becoming uncontrollable

And loosing dem inner strength
They are losing their inner strength and power

Later dem grab up the 9
Later they pick up guns

And talk bout 10 and talk bout 11, 12
They talk about committing acts of violence

Dem cyan tell me what the devil said
They cannot tell me what the devil has convinced them to do

Keyshia Cole was heaven sent
The coming of Keyshia Cole is a sign from heaven

Still man a lion from Zion
I'm still a strong and powerful lion from Zion

Well tougher than iron
And tougher than iron

So tell dem send dem lead come
Tell them to bring their bullets

And get dem head flung
And they will be defeated

Disssect dem left lung
We will destroy them completely

Dem bring dem dogs
They bring their dogs to attack us

That's why dem bring dem pet comes
That's why they bring their pets along

Dem come fi shell we body
They come to attack us and leave us for dead

Fire burn like we just light pet com
We will fight back and burn them with fire

Nowadays true dem cyan find 50 cent
These days, they cannot find their own strength

Dem wan bring Kanye West come
They want someone to come and save them

high dashing up the streets
Running quickly through the streets

high crashing on the peeps
Crashing into the people

while dashing out scars crashing out
Causing damage and leaving scars

but classes out for peace
But we should strive for peace

all dis I'm standing up to free
I will stand up to free us from oppression

the peeps that on the run from me
The people who fear and run from me

come here to rasta nah look up
Come to me, a Rasta, and do not be afraid

I plan to take over these goals and canopies
I plan to take control of everything

well the system
The system

Look but all the youths dem with a big grin
The government is watching the youth with suspicion, but they are not bothered

Say dat dem a hear but they not listening
They claim to listen, but they don't

Well dem send out all the police with dem big ting
They send out heavily armed police

I Say we better watch our portion like the simpsons
We need to be careful of our actions, like the Simpsons do

Cause the thief a gunning
Because they are coming to steal from us

a keep on coming
And they won't stop coming

up with blast fi di feel til a we'd a running
In order to scare us until we run away

cops on the heels and a feet start burnning
The police are following us and our feet are burning

watch them a sweep what a is
They are attacking and capturing us

guns them a be for the weak
They use guns to overpower the weak

Like when police catch sick a pea
Like the police catching a small criminal

to the sea from da weed
Sending them away like trash

and a wheel and gunning
They keep on attacking us

fire we burn and dem lock off me mic
They try to silence us and our message

while all a dem keep on drumming
As they continue to make noise and drown us out

and just skies dark keep on strumming
As the darkness continues to loom over us

Well them a dem a wheel and drum on
They continue to control and oppress us

come on here lets coming
But we won't back down, we will keep going

True without me for a witness
True, even without me being a witness

quick quick trip trip drip drip i hate dis
I am in a hurry, I hate this situation

man a savior mon when can we hit dis
I am a savior, but when will we escape this oppression?

work we up, but not for fitness
We are working hard, but not for just physical fitness

seems like dem business more bout dem business
It seems like their business is only about themselves

den to uplift di suffering sistren, inferiority of life
They don't care about uplifting the suffering sisters and improving the quality of life

visually isn't it
Isn't it obvious?

Well I mon a no fit dis description
I am not what they expect me to be

Fire redeem inna his kingdom
I will bring the fire of freedom to my people

the mystic one, stuff and go hit dem down
I am the mystic one and will strike them down

when the time me go mix dis song
When the time comes, I will finish this song

well them can't stop rastafari no
The government cannot stop our movement

if them neva know if them neva know
Even though they don't understand

hot hot hot hot
We are getting stronger and more determined

neva know ahahah
They will never understand what we are capable of

Victims (Woooyoioi) Of the System, yea yea
We are victims of the oppressive system

Victims (Woooyoo) Of the System, wooyoioi yea yea yea
We are oppressed by the system, and we won't back down

Victims waoooyo Of the System waaayyyaayayay

Victims wayayayo Of the System yea yea yea
We are oppressed by the system, but we won't give up
