🎶 The Architecture of Fear (By Design)
Intro: Spoken) They say we reach. We following the Jamaican pattern. But I ask you... how we reach here? It wasn't by accident. It wasn't by chance. Sharmain say... it was by Design. Kaiso! (Verse 1) 7:00 AM, the sun start to rise The mother putting on her daily disguise. She hustle the children into the car School just down the road, not very far. But standing by the gate is the neighbor’s son And she know in his waist is a loaded gun. She give him a wave, a little nod of the head Knowing last week he leave a man dead. But she cahn say nothing, she cahn make a sound Because she living on 'occupied ground'. The father next door, he soul turn to dust Watching his son betray the trust! (Chorus) It wasn't bad luck, it wasn't a curse We watch the Corridor go from bad to worse! From the hill in Laventille to the Tunapuna line These are CRIMINALS BY DESIGN! We kill the bakery, we kill the mart We tear the economy all apart. Now the monster hungry, so he roaming free Fed by the hand of the P-N-M party! Don't blame the youth alone for the crime Blame the architect of the design! (Verse 2) Small business dead, shut down like a light Because the Tax Man coming twice in the night! One tax for the Treasury, legitimate pay And one tax for the bandit to keep him at bay! The environment sterile, the money done So the boys heading East with the machine gun. Looking for soft targets, spreading the zone Because they eat everything inside of they home! No more "SME" on the Eastern Main Road Only extortion is the heavy load! (Bridge) [Brass Solo - Haunting and Minor] (Spoken - Old Talk) And remember the YouTuber? Chris Must List? He walk where the Police 'fraid to go. He show us the guns. He show us the truth. And what the State do? They charge the messenger! And let the message rot! (Verse 3) We laugh when "Burkie" walk in President House Dressed in a suit, quiet as a mouse. We make it a meme, we share it with glee But that was the sign of the anarchy! The politician need the vote on the block So they put the key inside of the lock. They nurture the beast to keep the power Now we facing the final hour! Senators Attz and McNish, open your eyes Stop pontificating and telling us lies! Don't sanitize the history to suit the status quo We reaping exactly what we did sow! (Outro) We reach. Zone of Special Operation. But who operating who? The design finish. The building collapse. By Design. (Fade out with heavy Iron)🎶 The Architecture of Fear (By Design)
