Toyan

For you fi treat di dread a right, right, right, right

Him, said, a putting up a fight (gwan)

Seh you fi treat di dread a, right

Him, said, a putting up a fight (gwan)

Beca', whether you black, and a, whether you white

Jah whether hypocrite, or me say, whether parasite

Jah whether or, you a live a right

You can’t do wrong and expect to get right

Seh fi treat di dread a right, right, right, right

Him, said, a putting up a fight (gwan)

Seh you fi treat di dread a, right

Him, said, a putting up a fight (gwan)
