• August Town (Nice Of Tribe Rmx)

According to Etana everything about the song is real. "August Town is a song about an incident that occurred in the community recently where a dance was going on and people from the community came out to eat some food and enjoy themselves and then the police came on to the scene and for no apparent reason just started firing shots which mash up everything, and even though this happened in the community where I grew up similar circumstances can be heard happening in other communities across Jamaica".

A who for youths are carry gun
Go lock up inna Babylon hand.
Wha' dis? Wha' dis, youth man?
Tell me.
(August Town) Up inna Kingston 7
(August Town) Vietnam ah run red.
(August Town) Tell me what a gwaan,
Tell me what a gwaan. (August Town)

Dem inna swimming pool down inna river bed,
String up big sound and ah hold a medz,
Watching deh youth dem play,
Happy smiles on them face,
Fish a fry, pot ah rice,
Everybody feel nice.

Then all of a sudden...

A police fire dat,
Man ah run, youth a run,
Some of dem ah get flat.

Everybody fun just done,
Party crash inna August Town (August Town).

It used to be a merry place.
Peace and joy was the story
Pon me granny face.
Now gun dung nah safe,
Soon as dem cry, bere war broke
Into de place again, again and again.
I will have to see the day when
Youth can play on the river bank.
Man and man from outside
Just rock to the bass...

Hey, Mr. Politician what is this that you want from August Town.
Tell me what a gwaan, tell me what a gwaan inna August Town.
