Gone (Gun) Lyrics

Di da dy dey

AbiYah

The sun keeps shining

But I see no brighter days

The path di youts are taking

Heading for destruction

Gun take over

Every man

Finger on di trigger

Don't think twice to take a life

No remorse for Mama tears

We need more fathers

More leaders

Our sons have gone astray

Who will lead the way

And show them peace and love

I'm calling for strong men

To stand out in di system and

Set good examples for di next generation

Cuz

Gone are the leaders who use to show the way

Great men like Rosie and

Stalwarts like Leblanc

Gone is the truth and

Gone is justice

Gone is integrity

Bow

From society it's gone

Bow bow bow

Gone gone gone

We need a doctor

To heal this broken land

Is there a lawyer

To reform the voting system

Country farmers who would plant and show us that

Agriculture should be the island's focus

Who is that Rasta

To rise and show us Africa

Unbiased pastors

To stand and defend the truth

Teachers and elders who would teach the children right

Teach them their liberties

To fight for democracy

Gone are the leaders who use to show the way

Black heroes like Rosie and

Stalwarts like Leblanc

Gone is the truth and

Gone is justice

Gone is honesty

Bow

From society it's gone

Bow bow bow

On di island

Gone gone gone

I'm heading for 40

To my name I ain't got a penny

Tell me

How am I to survive in this dreadful economy

Sad situation

No wealth for my generation

I cyah buy land

Cyah build house

Cyah raise a family

We need a leader

To bring a black revival

A man like Ralph Casimir

To take us to the promise land

Prudent mothers who would pray for their children

Devine intervention

To rule this land

Cuz

Gone are the leaders who use to show the way

Visionaries like Loblack

And JR Casimir

Gone is employment

Gone is appointment

Gone is stability

In society it's gone

Taxes gone up

Economic shoot out

And di money

Gone gone gone

We've lost some great ones

But their legacy still lives on

They are all part of us

What makes us who we are

E.O Leblanc gone

Rosie Douglas gone

Felix Henderson gone

Alwin Bully just gone

And so one day you and I will be gone

How will you be remembered

What will be your legacy

Upholding truth

Speaking out for justice

Fought with integrity

A champion of honesty

Become that leader who use to show the way

A great man like Rosie

Uncorrupted like Leblanc

Bring back the truth and

Justice for the children

Bring back integrity

In society it's gone

Di da dy dey

Gone in Roseau

Gone in St. Joe

Gone missing from di police force

Gone gone gone
