Faded Away
Yuh life
Have no price tag, you must be stupid (damn right)
Buju Banton, Kabaka Pyramid
Junior Byles (Accurate Immaculate)
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away (Accurate Immaculate)
Skibili-beng
Dem a move too wild, a run dung coil
Wah dat dem a do fi boost up dem profile
Dem a tek it too far, more than miles
Di example dem a set fi black woman and child
Dem sell out fi dolla bills and silver coins
Subliminally children a get hypnotized
By dem tun teenager dem start improvise
Start carry gun and tek one bagga lives (Accurate)
Dem seh money a dem God and dem nuh need no odda
Some a dem really don't know dem selves
Unnuh act like unnuh happy, yet, unnuh envy the bredda
Your soul is better than unearthly wealth
My friend, you better know yourself
We see dem a go astray and dem nuh wan' no help
Di Fada a go beat dem with a golden belt
These thoughts, I won't keep to myself
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
Skibili-beng
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health

To be poor it is a crime but look pon who a do the time
Spending trillions on war while couple billion n'ave a dime
And the richest country dem weh full a gold and full a oil
Dem instigating tribal war and economic genocide
And dung inna di ghetto dem a come a sell we lies
And a mek a bag a promises all now cah verify
But this yah revolution it will not be televised
Di rasta man a open every eyes, so all can see
The rich is getting richer every day
And the little that the poor man got it shall be taken away
Do you hear what I say? Yeah (Lawd ah mercy)
Hear what I say? (Chuh)
Di one percent who own the wealth try keep all to themselves
While the sufferers haffi tighten dem belt
Di preacher make some money and tell the congregation
"The Lord helps those who help themselves"
The leaders are like feeders, leeches and deceivers
The worst of mankind now shows itself
We have seen the transition, there is no love for creation
Each and every man a look out fi themselves
Dem seh money a dem God and dem nuh need no odda
Some a dem really don't know dem selves
Unnuh act like unnuh happy, yet, unnuh envy the bredda
Your soul is better than unearthly wealth
My friend, you better know yourself
We see dem a go astray and dem nuh wan' no help
Di Fada a go beat dem with a golden belt
These thoughts, I won't keep to myself
He who seeks of only vanity
And no love for humanity
Shall fade away, fade away
He who checks for only wealth
And not for his physical health
Shall fade away, fade away
