Harry's Symphony

[Verse 1]

Now this one is designed for eighteen and over, over

Eighteen and over, over

You must be eighteen and over

Boy, won't you go home?

Go home to your mama, your mama

Go home to your papa, your papa

You're too young to be my lover

[Chorus]

You got to be careful in this time

Know your role and try learn your line

Inna this-a time you cannot move like you're blind

Nobody move 'cause you will get left behind

[Verse 2]

I understand you'd like to smoke my shisha, my shisha

But really, where is your weed at, weed at?

Tell me you're not a joka smoka

[Verse 3]

A friend in need is a friend indeed

But a friend with weed is better

If you wanna get high, bring your own supply

I didn't know you was a joka smoka

[Chorus]

You got to be careful in this time

Know your role and try learn your line

Inna this-a time you cannot move like you're blind

Nobody move 'cause you will get left behind

You got to be careful in this time

Know your role and try learn your line

Inna this-a time you cannot move like you're blind

Nobody will stand 'cause you will get left behind

[Verse 4]

I need you to come, Rosie, tell him to come

He said he didn't have a daughter, but he did have a son

Said the lift doesn't work, run up the stairs to come

If you don't come quick, you're not gonna see your son

So he grabbed a bunch of roses and he started to run

Here I come

Skippity-bop, bop, bop, Skippity-whoa-oh-oh

Here I come, here I go

Skippity-bop, bop, bop, Skippity-whoa-oh-oh

Swing, oh, oh

[Verse 5: Linton Kwesi Johnson]

Shock, black, double down-beat bouncin'

Rock-wize, tumble doun sound music

Foot drop, find drum, blood story

Bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story, hurtin' black story

Thunder from a bass drum soundin'

Lightnin' from a trumpet and a organ

Bass and rythm and trumpet double up

Team up with drums for a deep doun searchin', deep doun searchin'

[Verse 6]

Bad boy, bad boy

What you gonna do?

What you gonna do when they come for you?

Bad boy, bad boy

What you gonna do?

What you gonna do when they come for you?

[Interlude: Joss Stone, Linton Kwesi Johnson]

Now excuse me while I light my spliff

Make stop, move forward

[Chorus]

You got to be careful in this time

Know your role and try learn your line

Inna this-a time you cannot move like you're blind

Nobody move 'cause you will get left behind

You got to be careful in this time

Know your role and try learn your line

Inna this-a time you cannot move like you're blind

Nobody will stand 'cause you will get left behind

[Outro: Linton Kwesi Johnson]

Dig doun to de root of pain

Shape it into violence for de people

They will know what to do, they will do it

Shock, black, double down-beat bouncin'

Rock-wize, tumble doun sound music

Foot drop, find drum, blood story

Bass his'try is a-movin' is a-hurtin' black story
