🌍 STRUCTURE

INTRO (0:00-0:30)

VERSE 1 (0:30-1:15)

"Silent war inna di daylight,

Blood pon di sand while dem turn right,

Media paint we with terrorist light 🔴

But we prayer is peace inna di night.

See dem system? Cunning and tight,

Slow erasure outta sight,

Like ghosts inna a fading light—

Our faith standing tall inna di fight."

CHORUS (1:15-1:50)

*"DEAF EARS TURN ‘WAY FROM DI SCREAM! (Eh!)

Blind eyes watch di blood stream 💔

While dem chant di ‘peace fi all’ scheme!

How long dem think we nuh see di dream?

Ad-libs: ”Gen-o-cide...” (echoed) / “Hear di truth!”

VERSE 2 (1:50-2:35)

"Dem call we ‘beast’ when we kneel down,

Burn down we homes, crush we crown 👑

Still we rise though dem push we ‘pon ground,

Qur’an in hand—no surrender sound!

World leaders sippin’ champagne round,

Deaf to we babies’ crying sound…

One ummah, together bound,

In every tear, resistance found!"

BRIDGE (2:35-3:05)

(Call) "Who dem label ‘monster’?!"

(Response) "DI PRAYERFUL!" (nyabinghi drum thunder ⚡)

(Call) "Who blood stain di desert?!"

(Response) "DI INNOCENT!" (guitar wail 🎸)

CHORUS REPRISE (3:05-3:40)

*"DEAF EARS TURN ‘WAY FROM DI SCREAM! (Jah!)

Blind eyes watch di blood stream 💔

Dem build walls ‘pon a nightmare dream—

All we have is faith and di righteous team!

Ad-libs: ”Ummah strong!” / “No more lies!”
