VERSE 1]
"Many men wish death'pon mi
Blood inna mi eye,dog, and mi cyaan see
Mi just a try fi be,what The Most High destine
And baldhead a try tek mi life from me
Mi put a hole inna man who fuck wid me
Back against di wall,now yuh soon see
Better watch how yuh talk when yuh talk'bout me
Cause mi come tek yuh life from yuh,seen?"
[CHORUS - Soulful Melodic Style]
"Many men,many, many, many men
Wish death'pon mi...
Lawd,mi nuh cry no more
Nuh look to di sky no more
Have mercy pon mi..."
[VERSE 2]
"Now these slackness a put bounty'pon mi head
Go get yuh refund,muma, mi nuh dead!
Mi ah di diamond inna di dirt- buried deep
Underground king and mi nuh get mi crown yet
When mi chant,special things a gwan, yes!
Mi ah di greatest,like Ali inna him prime, bless!"
[CHORUS]
"Many men,many, many, many men
Wish death'pon mi...
Lawd,mi nuh cry no more
Nuh look to di sky no more
Have mercy pon mi..."
[BRIDGE - Singjay Style]
"Mi walk di block wid di bundle
Been knock down but stay humble
Swing di axe when mi rumble
Show yuh ass what mi gun do
Temper hot like volcano!
Turn yuh back,get clapped inna yuh back though!
Gun pon waist,chip pon shoulder
Till mi bust clip inna yuh face- war nah over!"
[VERSE 3 - Conscious Roots]
"Some days wouldn't special if rain never fall
Joy wouldn't feel good if pain never call
Death must be easy,cause life is so hard
Leave yuh physically,mentally, emotionally scarred
This for my yout'pon di block, burning trees and chalice
For my brethren behind walls,living life inna palace..."
[CHORUS]
"Many men,many, many, many men
Wish death'pon mi...
Have mercy pon mi soul
Somewhere mi heart turn cold
Have mercy pon many men..."
