Self Defense

[Intro: Protoje & iotosh]
Woah
Woah
Woah
Ay
I-i-i-io!

[Chorus: Protoje & iotosh]
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law

[Verse 1]
Di place moving hot right ya now
Way it hot right ya now
Weh the Glock fire shot round the clock
You cyah turn back hands of time
Fi reverse hollow points weh dem plot
Make you drop off the map
So youts be wise, hear they blaming the music
They say that it’s rooted in dancehall or trap?
Well if that's the case then what's the excuse you will use
When good yutes get shoot by the cops?
Yo me haffi wonder, wah coulda cause this?
The land weh we love just a move so lawless
Yo a couldn't hungry, how man a starve but find strength fi a rob woman a supermarket?
When food deh country and it ripe fi harvest
Yo I wonder what the sense is in all this, ay
And any man weh a prey pon woman
Dem fi get line up make we shoot the target

[Chorus: Protoje & iotosh]
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law (Law)
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law (Law)
Ay

[Hook]
And me say put up unu hand
Agree one hundred percent
No, this nah make no sense
Self Defense, Self Defense
Know some might take offence to how time get so tense
Dem claim innocent
It depends, it depends
Woman, put up unu hand if unu nah take no check
If unu nah take no threat, make we raise Intratec and select it
Make a bwoy know if him touch, him regret it
No fraid fi go wet it, dem nah go repress

[Verse 2]
How much haffi bleed, a how much woman haffi dead
Before you see say something sick inna dem man deh head
Psychologically, see say them inadequate
In actuality, society it a reflect
You think you own you woman, think say a you property
You and you dutty bredrin dem keep up atrocity
When we retaliate, we nah go need apology
We sisters under attack, this is a calamity
Me hear some man a say them rather rape than turn a gay
As if dem deh ting deh related in any way
You nuh see say a some sicko them mentality
The patriarchy propagate all of them fallacy
Even in the church, the violation prevalent
Jehovah, you nuh witness, tell me that no relevant
Dem deh business cyaa exist inna we regiment
A self defense and we no hesitant

[Chorus: Protoje & iotosh]
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law (Law)
Place a move strange
Watch how you walk to me (walk)
Look inna me face when you a talk to me (talk)
Hands pon me waist
Might haffi draw fi me (draw)
Because me nah sit and wait pon di Law (Law)
Ay

[Outro: iotosh]
And me say put up unu hand if unu nah take no check
Put up unu hand if unu nah take no check
