[Verse 2: Skip Marley]

I take the bitter with the sweet
Moon up to sun, thank Jah seh mi a breathe
Power to my people, real kings and the queens
We’ve got the fire that will bun dem regime
Cold world
My people dead at random
Just keep on marching ’til the justice happen
We not stopping ’til the man stop dropping
All my brothers lost, no you’re not forgotten

That ain’t all she wrote
Well, check out the new scope
We, the generation, with the knowledge and the hope
We’re gonna change the globe with everything we know
And bless up to the ancestors for paving the road

Well, I take the bitter with the sweet
Well, take the bitter
Take the bitter with the sweet

[Verse 3: Koffee]
A God alone
We tell dem a nuh sprint, it’s a marathon
Life a nuh bed of roses
Affi watch weh mi a chat just like mi bredda Moses
And mi nuh trod alone
Walk with God alone

Jah a mi chaperone
Mi nuh carry nuh Glock around
Chopper fi chop
When mi wrap it, it double back around
And a nuh dat alone
Dem cya stop we now
Dem couldn’t get to you
Teflon come with the metronome

Youths a shoot rounds, a run fi dem safety
Gunshots a run di streets dem lately
Crime a frustrate we alongside who create it
Emergency stately, we can’t escape it

Inflation crazy for the old lady
Di poor baby

My scheme inna crime scene, yellow tape it
Koffee nuh affi be di government favorite
[Verse 4: Bounty Killer]

Graze like a big gun

Poor People Governor
Bussin’ -- the lyrical murderer

Big up every youth, every sufferer

‘Cause this a bare style, bare style, freestyle, a nuh ‘we style’
But mi lyrics dem a kick like a gun recoil
