Blood Money Lyrics

Me Nah watch nuh face, beg nuh more pardon
A nuff drugs money deh a Cherry Garden
Nuff individual society applauding
You can ask anybody where them get them start in
But nuff politician take the donation
So nuff criminal will never see a station
Never see a cell, not even a courthouse
But a every Sunday we see them take the boat out
North coast resort and car dealership
The construction company dem just don't legit
Use it wash the money, turn it 'round and hide it
When the kickback dem come in, the government delighted
So...

Police cancel operation,
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station,
Now if you check the situation,
A blood money run the nation,
Come take a look inna Jamaica,
Injustice in the place now,
If what you see no really phase you,
Then you a the problem that we face too.

Was 'bout to buy an X6 you know
Maybe then I'd never have to be a prisoner
Maybe then I'd make a hundred million disappear
Then me act like me nuh care
Watch you vote me back in there
Because that sad reality
Inna Jamaica, say your status is your salary
Man deh road a carry one whole heap a felony
But them have a family a boost up the economy
So...
Police cancel operation,
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station,
Now if you check the situation,
A blood money run the nation,
Come take a look inna Jamaica,
Injustice in the place now,
If what you see no really phase you,
Then you a the problem that we face too.

Is 'out of many' but a one set of people feeling it
How that real, society you agree to this
Things a reveal, the garbage the machine split
No smoke screen at Riverton nuh conceal it
Now the system failing, the gap a get wider
A matter of time before a total divide ya
You a cross the line, am draw quick fi remimd you
If you build it on crime then crime will have to find you
And thats how its been always, that no frustrate you like it do to me?
How much dead baby over jubilee?
How much youths did 10 when them run inna Tivoli
Now them 16, heart fry, head fricassee
So...

Police cancel operation,
'Cause nuh real bad man nah go station,
Now if you check the situation,
A blood money run the nation,
Come take a look inna Jamaica,
Injustice in the place now,
If what you see no really phase you,
Then you a the problem that we face too.
