Dem Gone - Gentleman

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Every day you get up and you wish to have a meal

Now you get a cut and you wish to have it heal

And still you cannot accept that Jah Jah is real

Tell me Mr. Man say whats the deal

You say you have everything sign and seel

Thought you won the case but not you a appeal

You are the one who couldn’t hear now you the one to feel

Evidently clear we choppin down your shield

Dem ain’t going nowhere no time soon

Dem corrupt the east and now dem turn it to the moon

Plant ina your garden and wish that it will bloom

But still you’re singing Satan tunes

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Mother earth was meant for man and woman to stay

Me find out nuff a dem drifting away

Children can’t even find a place fi play

Birds can’t find no seeds, horses no hay

I see the weavers weaving but dem income delay

Still me see dem searching for a brighter day

And now me come fi give it to you right away

Do you hear what I say?

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Whapen’them?

Give me the mic deh for a moment make me talk to dem

And watch the eden dem a scatter when we walk to dem

And if you know you are not guilty stand up and don’t you run

No, no to all my foes and friends

You may live to see today but you nuh know the end

Just read the writings on the wall it’s a message we send

And Babylon will never live to stop the rising of Jah son

Well, dem, dem

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Dem gone — so far away

Dem gone — the whole a dem ago regret it one day

Every day you get up and you wish to have a meal

Now you get a cut and you wish to have it heal

And still you can not accept that Jah Jah is real

Tell me Mr. Man say whats the deal

You say you have everything sign and seel

Thought you won the case but not you a appeal

You are the one who couldn’t hear now you the one to feel

Evidently clear we choppin' down your shield

Dem ain’t going nowhere no time soon

Dem corrupt the east and now dem turn it to the moon
