Well, this is Jamaica representing for the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards

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

Affi watch weh mi a chat just like mi bredda Moses
And mi nuh trod alone
Walk with God alone

When mi wrap it, it double back around
And a nuh dat alone
Dem cya stop we now

Youths a shoot rounds, a run fi dem safety
Gunshots a run di streets dem lately
