[Intro:]
Lord..
Yeah..

Black a kill Black, Lord
But it a go bounce right back, yeah


[Verse 1:]
Let me tell you
Political violence covers the Earth (back black)
Men don't know what life is really worth (black a kill,)
While youths, who selling themselves like whores (back black)
Robbing, raping, and killing the poor


Mi say, black a kill black, wow oh
But it a go bounce right back, yeah heh
Black a kill black, Lord
But it a go bounce right back, yeah eh, oh yeah

[Verse 2:]
Down here in the ghetto of the slum (black a kill)
We've been robbed of our rights and freedom (back black)
But I know that things has got to change (black a kill)
Cause Jah Jah get all men into his range

[Chorus:]
Mi a say
Black a kill black, Lord
But it a go bounce right back, yeah
Black a kill black, Lord
But it a go bounce pon top
Lord (back black)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
