Ahmed was a little boy
And him never did a thing wrong
14 years of love and joy
Oh so young
An engineer in the making
Tried to share his creation
Him never know them would scare and suppress his imagination
How was he to foresee
He would be presumed guilty?
Every man has a burden to bear, but
I declare, this here burden fe share
Cause it's just not fair
And neither was his skin
That's why them handcuff and arrest him
Cause this here clock been ticking, tocking,
For a long time for the Muslims
Check the headlines
Sign of the times
Seem like your blind
Desensitised
War them devise
Love them divide
Telling lie after lie
Committing crime after crime
You say you're tired of this, you're tired of that
Still you read your daily newspaper like a Bible that
Your TV set record pon timer that
Them steal we history, sell it out and still you buy it back, yo
Just like a pill prescription
It seem them have a cure for every little affliction, yeah
Lethal elixir addiction
Better check the fine print, see them no fit the description, no
But them say that's just politics,
"A so it go, just eat it up and swallow it!"
No bother question them ya real priorities
Cause their mission is the statement that them hate minorities
So better memorise the truth
Check the evidence, them could never hide the proof, now
Seh them a terrorise the youth
That's why they try to hold me back whenever I go through
Check the headlines
Sign of the times
Seem like your blind
Desensitised
War them devise
Love them divide
Telling lie after lie
Committing crime after crime
Babylon dem divide and conquer, now
But this ya Rastaman him can't go under, yo
Yo bredren Ahmed
Gwaan just do your ting deh boy
Nah let Babylon suppress your I-ditation and your imagination
Gwaan go make your creation and give some inspiration to di youth dem
A di truth again
Yeah, cause I and I know how the brain work, you know
And we know seh there is more activity inna di left and di right side when unnu creative
Seet, so Babylon just try hold you back now
Nah let dem do dat!
