Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, time to rise up
You must play fool to catch wise
Yo, time to rise and shine, boom
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, yo
Cah when di system pressure youth, what a ting
Jobless, empty pocket an' no formal settlement
An' so di youth a take up badness, start hustlin'
Him fire di black iron an' no Zion cyaan not save him from judgement
Time to follow righteousness, get a meditation
Some youth just left behind, lost inna Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yo
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, yo
An' when one door is closed, many more are open
Bob Marley said it, yes, an' we never ever doubt it
Di situation tough, bad, make we face it
Opportunities, roast dinner, an' just few can really make it
No job an' no justice, di youth a move drastic
Cah, nuff a them a end up in a plyboard casket
Running from police, dat a them gymnastic
That's why Jamaica youth dem, dem a send it like elastic
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, yo
Oh, hear me now
Politician set it, di youth dem a regret it
Poor people don't play on board, a minister eat spaghetti
Ghetto youth, dem skeptic, di plan most effective
Di situation ruff, so who goin' correct it?
Time to follow righteousness, get a meditation
Some youth just left behind, lost inna Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yo
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, ever bright, ever rise
Play fool to catch wise
Ghetto youth, element of surprise
You must play fool to catch wise
Ever shine, yo
