Stand A Chance (feat. Yami Bolo & Treach)

Where there are more hungry mouths than food to eat
It's where the homeless roam the streets
Where broken glass and shattered dreams
Are scattered and lost among the debris
Suffering pain and still they laugh
And dream of a mansion far above the half
No one to speak up on their behalf
Now tell me

Do they stand a chance?
Where there's more food than mouths to feed
Where you'll find those who claim to lead
Driven by their own greed
They always want more than they need
They don't help the ones who lack
Instead, they stand aside and laugh
As if that's all we'll ever ask
When will they make a change?

Children, lift your heads to the one
Who created the Sun, my children
And your light will shine again
Show the world that Jah's love is okay
When we rise and greet the Sun
Let's give him thanks and praise

Illegal guns roam the night
In hungry hands, waiting to bite
At the first sign of food in sight
Kids in the dark searching for light
The hard times they face aren’t a choice
Police curfews are no surprise
And with no one to be their voice

Do they stand a chance?
Where there's more food than mouths to feed
Where you'll find those who claim to lead
Driven by their own greed
They always want more than they need
They don't help the ones who lack
Instead, they stand aside and laugh
As if that's all we'll ever ask
When will they make a change?

It's like a punk never checked or they forgot
Saying death, we nature naughty
Ah true I was born uptown, tell those fools not to cross me
That's why Cindy brought me here
And that's why they can't impress me with any flashy car
I know that I’ll kill them softly
And then they're not even who they think they are
They're not really acting crafty
I get to understand that their plans are faulty
Well, a lot of them are twenty and favor forty
Filthy rich, big belly, and hearty
The real Gideon will be arriving shortly
Rasta don’t beat the binghi drum, we clap it
We live longer 'cause our food ain't salty
We grow stronger and they can't assault us
So Haile Rastafari love and exalt it

Children, lift your heads to the one
Who created the Sun, my children
And your light will shine again
Show the world that Jah's love is okay
When you rise and greet the Sun
Let's give him thanks and praise

Children, lift your heads to the one
Who created the Sun, my children
And your light will shine again
Show the world that Jah's love is okay
When we rise and greet the Sun
Let's give him thanks and praise

Where there are more hungry mouths than food to eat
It's where the homeless roam the streets
Where broken glass and shattered dreams
Are scattered and lost among the debris
Suffering pain and still they laugh
And dream of a mansion far above the half
No one to speak up on their behalf

Do they stand a chance?
Where there's more food than mouths to feed
Where you'll find those who claim to lead
Driven by their own greed
They always want more than they need
They don't help the ones who lack

As if that's all we'll ever ask

Show the world that Jah's love is okay
