Jade Steel & Emerald Triangle - Don't Treat We Like That Lyrics

I remember when I was young
People talking in a foreign tongue
Time went by I grew strong
Learned to stray from Babylon
Traveled far open eyes
Didn't take long to realize
Poverty heart is strong
Still they sing to get along

If there's something wrong I can hear you say
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
You can help someone have a better day
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
If you come round here leave your knife and gun
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
We can make a change for everyone

The story grows you give advice
Many grew old with sacrifice
We pass along in this life
Those who still must pay the price
As I come to you another show
Community youth continue to grow
Some are forced to stand aside
Wipe the tears swallow pride

In Jamaica many years ago
A tourist place near Ocho Rios
Saw the security Dunns River falls
Club a head the tears did fall
Man looked at me with open arms
To beg from here only does us harm
No paper passed he can't get in
Roadblock here for the colored skin

Gonna break these chains, gonna make a change
So let the people know were gonna share some love

If there's something wrong I can hear you say
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
You can help someone have a better day
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
If you come round here leave your knife and gun
Don't treat we like that, treat we like that
We can make a change for everyone
