Man Next Door
U-Roy feat. Santigold Lyrics

Well I'm talking 'bout The man that lives next door in my neighborhood All he do is fuss and fight as I will say He fuss in the days and fuss in the night Straight from the top to the very last drop Like a wood key
I'm referring to the man who lives next door, who does nothing but argue and fight day and night, without any respite, going from top to bottom, just like a wood key

Well I'll tell you people You got to stop destroying and mucking up There's a man that lives next door In my neighbourhood In my neighbourhood He gets me down
I'd like to tell everyone that destroying and ruining things needs to stop, especially given this man who lives next door in my neighbourhood - his constant arguing and fighting just really gets to me

He gets in so late at night Always a fuss and fight Always a fuss and fight All through the night
He comes home so late at night, but instead of being quiet, he always starts up a big argument that lasts all night long

Armigideon iwah Said ah one serious iwah Ah dis 'ya time ah Armigideon time Yes, yes, I said you haffi mind Well I'll tell you
This is Armageddon time, and we need to take it seriously - so we have to be prepared and stay vigilant

I've got to get away from here And find a quiet place
I need to escape from this situation and find peace and serenity in a different location

Hear the pots and pans they fall Bang against the wall Bang against the wall No rest at all
The sound of pots and pans crashing against walls is constant, and there seems to be no break from the noise

Ah one serious iwah He gets in so late at night (I tell you on terrible iwah) Always a fuss and fight (ah dis 'ya time ah Armigideon time) Always a fuss and fight (well I'll tell you people) All through the night (you've got to stand, be strong inna Babylon)
This is a serious situation, because he comes home really late and always starts up a fight - it's Armageddon time, we need to be strong mentally, especially in a chaotic world like Babylon

It's Armigideon I've got to get away from here This is not a place for me to stay I've got to take my family And find a quiet place
It truly is Armageddon, so I have to find a new place to live, because this neighborhood isn't suitable for me and my family anymore

Yes, ah one dangerous time Said, I said one terrible iwah There's a man that lives next door (What I say is you fi love Jah) In my neighborhood In my neighborhood Well, I tell you 'bout the time come Ah Gideon time as I was saying
These are dangerous and terrible times, and the man who lives next door just makes things worse. We should all love Jah and prepare for Gideon time

Gotta get away (ah one terrible iwah) You gotta get away, now (gotta get away) Gotta get away (serious time ah come, ah gon' kill you) You gotta get away, now (gotta get away) You gotta get away (dangerous time like I was saying) You gotta get away, now (gotta get away)
We have to leave this place in search of safety, because these are turbulent times and if we don't act fast, we might not make it. There's no time to waste

But ah anyhow where you go, di human ah kill you Ah Armigideon time, now Ah one serious time I said no more fussing and no fighting
No matter where we go, humans will always find a way to bring us down. These are serious times, and we need to avoid fighting, because it won't do us any good

In my neighbourhood (Yeah, you got to stand strong and watch weh they do this ting) In my neighbourhood (Said, dis ah everyting you do, me seh dat a weh you knew) In my neighbourhood (Kill the people now, I tell you, hey) In my neighbourhood (Ah one terrible time, yeah) In my neighbourhood (Serious iwah) In my neighbourhood ('Migideon iwah) (This Armigideon)
It's important to stay strong and observe what goes on around us. All of this violence is because of our personal choices, and we need to make better ones. The situation is dire and we need to come together in order to survive in this Armageddon time
