Busy Signal – Not Going Down lyrics

[Intro:]
Mek dem know this, Jamaica!

[Chorus:]

We not going down, and dem huff an
Dem a puff and dem a frown.
Can't tek di getto youth dem fi clown; cause what goes around, comes all the way around.

Too much man a get slue.
You betta watch what you say or do.
Cause it just might happen to you.
When you work hard but chosen a few.
(I)

(I)
How much getto youths dem slay.

Got some things to say
(I)
There must be a britter way.

Tell dem fi stop from, bus up di glac and put down the mac. Some a gawn like dem can't do without it. To how the time a go nah, thank god for the life for the life weh we have, cause we can't live without it.

[Chorus:]
We not going down, and dem huff an
Dem a puff and dem a frown. Can't tek di getto youth dem fi clown; cause what goes around, comes all the way around.

Too much man a get slue.
You betta watch what you say or do. Cause it just might happen to you. When you work hard but chosen a few.

[Verse 2:]

Some can't find food, to how the place a run.
Some can't go a school, to how the place a run.
Man a broke all the rule, to how the place a run.
Tell dem nuh badda pick up the gun, put it down.

We not going down, and dem huff an
Dem a puff and dem a frown. Can't tek di getto youth dem fi clown; cause what goes around, comes all the way around.

Too much man a get slue.

Too much man a get slue.
You betta watch what you say or do.
Cause it just might happen to you.
When you work hard but chosen a few.
