Mmmm
We are where we are, where we are, where are
(Mmmm)
Yea
(Hmmm)
Hear mi now, nah, nah, nah
It's been a long time
A long time coming
(Mmm hmm)
And this is no mistake
We worked hard for this moment
(Mmmm)
Go ahead take a bow now
(Mmmm)
Cause we reaping what we sow now
We investment interest ah grow now
Better set a place at the table
'cause the shotta dem nah leave
(Mmm, Mmm)
Them come fi eat, man
Set another place at the table
Fi frustration and grief
(Mmmm ...Oh)
Oughtta mek sure
Set a place at the end of the table
Cause the grim come fi reap
(Mmm)
Mi tell yuh now
(Mmm)
You can pray all yuh want to
(Mmm ... I'm telling you)
Fool the universe ah what yuh can't do
When what you cultivate was a culture of
(Mmm)
Sex, crime and drinking
Everything else ah just wishful thinking
Some unuh nuh like hear it from me
But if mi don't talk it still ah go be what it be so
Do sump'n different
Ah that mi ah beg unuh
Full of denial
Ah that ah go sheg unuh
Stop project unuh madness pon di masses
Want change the outcome
But don't want change the process
Ignorance alone criminalize poverty
Pretend the world, ah nuh community property
Communities ah face the nation apathy
But, crime nuh have nuttin fi do with geography
Nuff resentment and hate ah beloved
The more unuh gwan alienate and judge them
False sense of security, walls and grills and terapian pills
Can't spare the judgements
You can sing all yuh want to
I'm telling you
Fool the universe ah what you can't do
When karma got her eye on you
Better set a place at the table
'cause the shotta dem nah leave
(Mmm...)
Them come fi eat, man
Set another place at the table
Fi frustration and grief
(Oh, well ... Oooh yea ...)
Come set another place at the table
Cause the grim come fi reap
(Mmm ... Oooh yea ...)
Should've set a place at the table
For the youths them relief
(Mmm mmm .... yea ... )
Coulda just said one
The yute dem still need fi nyam
Coulda avoid ah wha gwan
Just seh one
Point finger pon one another
Refuse fi admit so we in this together
