New Kingston - Kingston Fyah

by High Stereo

      
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yo!
Got to find a way, ey!
Come listen me now
Aye, aye, aye, aye, well

Di sun hot like this Kingston fyah
Mah ah look a work and can’t get hire
Mi smoke di herb so mi can get higher
Haffi bun dem up mi nuh shot a fyah
Di youth dem go ah school and you teach dem bare lie
Have dem out a street and nuh know dem shoe size
Pack it full a paper just to make it fit right
Anything just to get by

Jah, Jah, yes him put mi to the test I know
Jah, Jah, bless me anywhere I go
Jah, Jah, gimme strength to defeat my foes
Woah!

Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!
Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!

In my town people do things, dem nuh want fi do
Haffi junggle 3 jobs just to feed dem youth
Hustle fi a raise but dem nah raise di truth
Dem nuh waan we deh yah so we sing it inna di booth
That we haffi work harder now
Dem know we stronger now
Ah di new order now
Young people hear mi now
Fi we life so we ah go take back control
Ah fi we life so dem nah go take weh we soul

Jah, Jah, yes him put mi to the test I know
Jah, Jah, bless me anywhere I go
Jah, Jah, gimme strength to defeat my foes, yeah!

Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!
Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!

All my people haffi stand firm
Or this Kingston fyah is gonna burn
Yes my people stand up strong
How long we ah suffer too long
All my people haffi stand firm
Yes this Kingston fyah is gonna burn
All my people stand up strong
How long we ah suffer too long

Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!
Got to find a way, woah!
Jah show I the way, woah!
