Play Fool (To Catch Wise) Lyrics
[Chorus]
Play fool, to catch wise (Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise (Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Ever shine)
[Verse 1]
Cah, when di system pressure youth, what a ting
Jobless, empty pocket an' no formal settlement
An' so di youth a take up badness, start hustling
Him fire di black iron
An' no Zion Cyaan not save him from judgement
Time to follow righteousness, get a meditation
Some youth just left behind, lost in a Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation
[Chorus]
Play fool, to catch wise (Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise (Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Ever shine)
[Verse 2]
An' when one door is closed many more are open
Bob Marley said it, yes, an' we never-ever doubt it
Di situation tough, bad, make we face it
Opportunities, roast dinner, an' just few can really make it
No job an' no justice, di youth a move drastic
Cah, nuff a them end up in a plyboard casket
Running from police, dat a them gymnastic
That's why Jamaica youth, dem-dem a send it like elastic
[Chorus]
Play fool, to catch wise (Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise (Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Ever shine)
[Verse 3]
Politician set it, di youth, dem man regret it
Poor people don't [?], minister eat spaghetti
Ghetto youth, dem sceptic, di plan most effective
Di situation ruff, so who goin' correct it?
Time to follow righteousness, get a meditation
Some youth just left behind, lost in a Satan's meditation
Good over evil is di final confrontation
Look forward for a global emancipation, yow!
[Chorus]
Play fool, to catch wise (Ghetto youth, time to rise up)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Time to rise and shine)
Play fool to catch wise (Ghetto youth, element of surprise)
You must play fool, to catch wise (Ever shine)
