Old War Chant - Damian Jr Gong Marley

Down in a the ghetto is like old Vietnam 
Gun shot a bust with grenade and bomb 
First fi survive a fi iron lion 
Learn fi trod through great tribulation 
Learn to survive off the plantation 
Plant up potatoes wi plant up yam 
Turn over soil cause food have fi nyam 
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch 
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence 
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence 
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence 

Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant 
Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want 
Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn 
Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone 
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan 
Wey dem a go do when the real war start

Claim sey you bad see how fast you tek off 
You use to brag how you kill and laugh 
How you wicked and a rip out men heart 
Carry dead man gwan thing of a wharf 
Well I Jr. Gong a show you say you soft

Man a live them whole life in a police station 
Man a sentence fi hang and don't do a wrong 
We plant sensimillia and we plant up we yam 
And wi turn over soil for food have fi nyam 
Satta a mi yard a mi base a mi ranch 
Mi saw mouth shotgun and mi gold sixpence 
Jus yesterday a man rip off mi fence 
And if mi catch him a shhhh silence 

Now mi do di guzumbah the Old War Chant 
Claim sey mi wanted is what dem want 
Fi defend mi life mi bus up some corn 
Dead man don't tell tale and that done gone 
Jus fi survive man a so man a fi gwan
