King Django - ReasonLyrics

I am the Shadow Warrior from Creation! And I stand amidst the flames with my sword in my hand Chanting down the hypocrites by popular demand You know I give you something the people, they want! And if you want to reason Sometimes you gotta stay out late You got to stay up I am The Shadow Warrior, the ragamuffin soldier Just a gwan with my big gun deh pon my shoulder Firebomb fe warm your heart so you no fe get colder As times getting dreader seh we must get bolder Let's move together in the right direction No matter where you're from, no matter your complexion From ever nation and people of all religions Just want food and shelter love and affection Let's throw weh the bombs and put down the knives and guns Though we all hate the war we got to love the veterans Love the hookers though you hate the prostitution 'Cause the whole a we are sinners but we all know the right from wrong I say we all know the right from wrong And if you want to reason Sometimes you gotta stay out late You got to stay up I creep through the shadows with my sword called reason On my mission from creation to declare Open Season On hatred, fear and jealousy and chop up the demons As I slice through the darkness with my truth sword beaming Do you remember the Garden of Eden? I recall it so clearly and that's my inspiration Just to remind you that's my motivation 'Cause together we got the power to arrange the situation And if you want to reason Sometimes you gotta stay out late You got to stay up I creep in silent fe go lick plenty shot I got to move fast because the runnin's getting hot So if you want to overstand, you fe follow the plot You try to chop it up but it's just one dot And every word I drop is like a gold ingot 'Cause you got to drop nuggets or just get off the pot And every good deed is like a coin in a slot If you play long enough, you're bound to hit the jackpot I never try to tell you that I am what I'm not So all politrickster a fe run like a rat Some a dem try to bribe and some a extort Some tek it for a game, some tek it for a sport But no matter where they run dem nah go find a safe port Them a go find themselves guilty in the ultimate court Can't follow this if your attention is too short 'Cause Jah Jah is my shield and Jah Jah is my fort And if you want to reason Sometimes you gotta stay out late You got to stay up Hear wisdom cries out in the streets Hear her voice in the square, her tears in the market And out at the gates, in the city she utters her words And she says, "How long will you simple ones love being simple? How long will you fools hate knowledge?"
