Time Come - Pato Banton, Audrey Murray

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Time come!

Well first of all I wanna break it down nice and easy

Cause I know certain folk won’t be too pleased with me

Especially when they think for awhile

This youth with the smile is turning out to be a wild child

See I been thinking lately that if I bend any more

God knows they gonna break me

I give my all and they just fake me

Irritate me with those smiles that are so flaky

From the top they wanna sway me stray me

Time is now and they delay me underrate and underpay me

Then like some kind of game they wanna play me

Like a go-go up up down just like a yo-yo

Round and round like a clown called bozo

Well I ain’t going with that flow no mo' Joe

From now on that’s a no no

The time has come…

I hear some saying «yummy yummy» and «mmmm»

But who be putting all that food inna you tummy

Aha ha might sound funny but it ain’t

I know you only here for the money

You think I ain’t got a clue, but I do

Believe me I can see straight through you

So tell me who be fooling who

As you continue to bite the same hand that feeds you

Every word I say is true I pray

Forgive them Father for they know not what they do

«forgive them Father» I beg you do

For they know not what they put me through

Huh still I ain’t gonna judge (judge not)

And I refuse to hold a grudge

I am gonna stand up strong I’ll never budge

Even through the rain and the floods

Cause the time has come…

Forgive them Father!

Old time people say: «Silent rivers run deep.»

«Youth man you better look before you leap.»

Forgive them Father!

«Beware of the wolves who dress up like sheep.»

«And before you sleep, pray The Lord your soul to keep.»

Yeah I come to realize it just ain’t wise

For a ragamuffin youth to compromise

Jah knows cause after all the hype and the jive

You still gotta struggle to survive

But I’ll swallow my pride

And listen to the guide who resides inside

Move on with revelation

Spread the word to the now generation

So the time has come and I’ve made my decision

This ain’t no ego trip this is a mission

To spread the word so it can be heard, word!

By those who wanna listen to the truth

The whole truth and nothing but the truth

Specially the youth in this age

As we turn the page come on get ready!

The time has come…
