Lyrics

[00:25.960] A word unto the wise is enough
[00:29.340]
[00:30.290] You can look but don't touch
[00:32.660]
[00:33.290] My relations and such
[00:35.180]
[00:38.160] Cause out here in this jungle we roam
[00:41.650]
[00:42.480] Every king has his thrown
[00:44.620]
[00:45.390] And if you enter my zone
[00:47.370]
[00:48.730] I vow to protect my own
[00:50.770]
[00:52.610] Protect my own
[00:54.030]
[00:54.890] I will protect my own
[00:57.310]
[00:58.760] Protect my own
[00:59.590]
[01:02.980] Bread basket from birth to the casket
[01:05.570] I heard they been talking some words I look past it
[01:08.420]
[01:09.020] I was brought up and taught of the tactics
[01:11.430]
[01:11.960] And learned that the lion nuh turn when dog barkin'
[01:14.670]
[01:15.670] Watch who you burn
[01:16.880] Who you spark with
[01:17.650]
[01:18.190] And you haffi go earn if you want it
[01:20.340]
[01:21.370] So we nuh concern with who hawking
[01:23.030]
[01:24.170] When dem spit can't reach where we walking
[01:26.290]
[01:26.810] Enemies in disguise wanna see my demise
[01:29.610]
[01:30.140] Dem don't even realize jah no wrong dem
[01:32.510]
[01:33.380] Cause a see that in life you achieve something nice
[01:36.330] But achieve something twice is a problem
[01:38.640]
[01:39.480] Then you can imagine what I face
[01:41.270]
[01:42.080] Two up in the hand and another on the way
[01:44.220]
[01:45.780] Plus I have another in the brain
[01:47.310]
[01:47.920] And every other one a put the other one to shame
[01:50.350]
[01:51.010] A word unto the wise is enough
[01:54.050]
[01:55.260] You can look but don't touch
[01:57.290]
[01:58.370] My reparations and such
[02:00.440]
[02:03.140] Cause out here in this jungle we roam
[02:06.600]
[02:07.550] Every king has his throne
[02:09.620]
[02:10.350] And if you enter my zone
[02:12.470]
[02:13.770] I vow to protect my own
[02:15.960]
[02:17.560] Protect my own
[02:18.970]
[02:19.920] I will protect my own
[02:21.690]
[02:23.900] Protect my own
[02:24.810]
[02:27.150] Kick it
[02:27.930] Sharp like the thorn crown pon christ head
[02:30.450]
[02:30.990] But you know the flow hard doe like slice bread
[02:33.330]
[02:33.950] Lyrics melt the butter fi mek a nice spread
[02:36.360]
[02:36.910] But a nuh margarine a pull the margin eenn
[02:39.950] Get rich dem marching out
[02:41.600] And if you marching out
[02:42.960] And you inna a doubt
[02:44.110] You march without me
[02:45.150]
[02:46.060] I rather march alone
[02:47.290] Than fi march back home
[02:49.080] Tell me queen say me lost the throne
[02:51.570] No this was built on the power of the truth
[02:54.860] Discovering the powers and empowering the youths
[02:57.560] If you give dem a minute dem devouring the fruits
[03:00.240]
[03:00.980] And within an hour called it sour chappy roots
[03:03.680] Unno see it nuh skill like bibi pon me feet
[03:06.950] But drop me pon di riddim watch the clarity weh speak
[03:09.790] Dem nuh parity between what we have and what we need
[03:12.720] So strength out the wise and protection for the meek
[03:15.860] A word unto the wise is enough
[03:18.670]
[03:20.280] You can look but don't touch
[03:22.530]
[03:23.410] My reparations and such
[03:25.520]
[03:28.270] Cause out here in this jungle we roam
[03:31.280]
[03:32.570] Every king has his throne
[03:34.620]
[03:35.410] And if you enter my zone
[03:37.390]
[03:38.900] I vow to protect my own
[03:40.710]
[03:42.650] Protect my own
[03:43.790]
