For dis hour, u did know de future [x3] Di fear upon mi, mi ah search di answer
When mi wake before dawn Mi waan kill di alarm Gaze out de window De morning quiet & calm Ah so mi bed warm Mi woulda luv fi sleep long Wake wid de sun Mi turn around & mi frown Cau bills ah cum Dem cyaan done I wonder how mi ah go pay rent & private loan A system full ah stress ah get greedy every day Kill man wid taxes & ah gwaan somewhere Pressure pon de ... (little) man De clock run him life & to survive Wi haffi sharp like a knife Now who is de biggest? Who have de last word to say? & who have de right & power Fi wash mankind away Eartquake & volcano & wi dont know when dem slay Hunger, hurricanes & floods & ting Now mumma earth want fi play I say...
[chorus:] For dis hour, u did know de future Wha would u plead & who would u vote for? Dis ah upon mi, mi ah search di answer I wonder who mek di aids & di cancer If ah di hour u did know di future
Wha would u plead & who would u vote for? Di fear upon mi, mi ah search di answer 'ow will we live now di earth ah our sponsor?
Inna disa time Nuff tings pon mi mind Say mi cyaan believe mi eye When mi ah watch mankind When mi see we are murder one another fi a dime See how wi blind & we commit di same crime, time after time We cyaan... Wonder who mek di history bend & twine Inna disa day u haffi clevar & smart Carry love inna yuh heart & u clear from di start Dress yourself inna nice, firendly & lovin mood Tink good, mek way fi di youth Now who build di future? & who practice war? Juss tell mi wha wi reach for Other dan house & car, Sex, money & fame & every man ah superstar Go plant a seed ah love inna yuh friends & let di earth, & let di earth spin forever!
