"Chase Dem (Acoustic)" lyrics - STEPHEN MARLEY

[Stephen:]
Babylon say it's just another part of it
So they buy and ya sell your soul
Well my friend just the very thought of it
You'll sell your soul for a piece of gold
While they and their companions slept
Sturdy through the night
Another baby mamma wept, yeah
For her baby's life

[Stephen & Capleton:]
Chase dem
Dem no clean ina dem heart we ago
Chase dem
Dis poor people we
...Dem
I say...dem,...dem...
Chase dem
Dem no clean ina dem heart we ago
...Dem
Inflation getting high, di people
...Dem
From dem no love poor people
We no embrace, embrace dem

[Stephen:]
Politician say it's just another part of it
So they buy when ya sell your soul
Well my friend just that very thought of it
Sell your soul for a piece of gold
While they and their companions slept
Sturdy through the night
I say another baby mother wept
For her fallen child

Chase dem
Chase dem
Chase dem
Chase dem
Chase dem
Chase dem

Brother Ruben what ya say..

[Capleton:]
Get rid a dem
Blaze the fire mek di wicked dem wither then
Dem want fight the ghetto youths
Chu dem a get bigger then..
Stand up and fight, defend your rights
Mek wi live again, live again
Get rid a dem
Dem eat too much...
Get rid a dem..

Anyway yow, mek mi just tell di children one more ting yah man..
So mi say again..
Take a look ina the crowd
And take a look around
And tell what you see
It's fire..
Say man a hail HIS MAJESTY
Bun dem animosity
And the youth dem say fire..
Say, man say charity, more solidarity
And the youth dem say fire
Say man a bun poverty
That a my phylosophy
And the youth dem say Ragga tell di youth dem say

[Stephen and Capleton:]
Chase dem
Dem no clean ina dem heart we ago
Chase dem
From dem dis poor people we
Erase dem
Inflation getting high di people
Chase dem, hate dem yeh yeh..
Chase dem
From dem no clean ina dem heart we ago
Waste dem
From dem killing out di people we
Erase dem

Hate then, so free mase them

[Stephen:]
Get them out, get them out
Get rid a dem
Get them out, get them out, yeah
Get rid a dem
Get them out, get them out
Get rid a dem
Get them out, get them out, well
Run them away
Run them away, no time to play..
Eh
Never let a politician grant you a favor
They will always want to control you for ever
