Poor Man's Cry Pt. 2

All around the world skull a bold
We a ask fi di violence fi hold
Anthony B and Jah Cure
Return to your past or your future will show

I wish the future could be the past
(How I wish y'all)
And the past could be the future
(Yes, I wish y'all)
My brother man no long will it last
(No one knows)
No one knows if it's forever

Some would say good
Some would say bad
Not everyone gonna be saying the same thing
(Listen up)
Take a look in reality
Rulers of international morality
(Check it out)
They don't care what's taking place
(Look around)
The sorrowful people face
From here to here now
We got to fear now
The sorrowful people face

I wish the future could be the past
(How I wish, how I wish y'all)
And the past could be the future
(Yes, I wish y'all)
My brother man no long will it last
(No one knows)
No one knows if it's forever

Nothing lasts forever but salvation
I wish this was the past when saltfish house start fi shingle
There wasn't no violence, no care how we mingle
No man never used to jump through man window
In the days before we start get arrest fi di indo
Go a dancehall, hold a girl and bingo
Left to the right me swing go
If the future is not that it a fail
If the future was the past Jah Cure wouldn't deh a jail
Give the Bobo man a hail
Free up the youth, him a bawl fi him bail
Inna Christ's 2 palm weh you drive nail
Way before Mose vehicle and Columbus sail
This is a thanks, this is not a email

I wish the future could be the past
(How I wish y'all)
And the past could be the future
(Yes, I wish, yes, I wish y'all)
My brother man no long will it last
(No one knows)

Yo
Lightning message now fi the nation
Talking to the leader and the opposition
To the soldier and cops inna station
Muslim, Jews, and Christian
Rastafarian come yah so fi bun Babylon
Stop worry over money and woman
Only thing lasts forever is salvation
A di message now we sing

It's a world without a feel
And lots of vampires out there
World is mad that should be mindful of
Selassie I is on his way
(Rastafari)

I wish the future could be the past
(How I wish y'all, I wish y'all)
And the past could be the future
(Yes, I wish y'all, I wish y'all)
My brother man no long will it last
No one knows if it's forever
(Nothing lasts forever my friend)

My brother man no long will it last
No one knows if it's forever
It's forever, oh I
