Pato Banton - Time Come lyrics

5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Time come! Well first of all I wanna break it down nice and easy Cause I know certain folk won't be too pleased with me Especially when they think for awhile This youth with the smile is turning out to be a wild child See I been thinking lately that if I bend any more God knows they gonna break me I give my all and they just fake me Irritate me with those smiles that are so flaky From the top they wanna sway me stray me Time is now and they delay me underrate and underpay me Then like some kind of game they wanna play me Like a go-go up up down just like a yo-yo Round and round like a clown called bozo Well I ain't going with that flow no mo' Joe From now on that's a no no The time has come... I hear some saying "yummy yummy" and "mmmm" But who be putting all that food inna you tummy Aha ha might sound funny but it ain't I know you only here for the money You think I ain't got a clue, but I do Believe me I can see straight through you So tell me who be fooling who As you continue to bite the same hand that feeds you Every word I say is true I pray Forgive them Father for they know not what they do "forgive them Father" I beg you do For they know not what they put me through Huh still I ain't gonna judge (judge not) And I refuse to hold a grudge I am gonna stand up strong I'll never budge Even through the rain and the floods Cause the time has come... Forgive them Father! Old time people say: "Silent rivers run deep." "Youth man you better look before you leap." Forgive them Father! "Beware of the wolves who dress up like sheep." "And before you sleep, pray The Lord your soul to keep." Yeah I come to realize it just ain't wise For a ragamuffin youth to compromise Jah knows cause after all the hype and the jive You still gotta struggle to survive But I'll swallow my pride And listen to the guide who resides inside Move on with revelation Spread the word to the now generation So the time has come and I've made my decision This ain't no ego trip this is a mission To spread the word so it can be heard, word! By those who wanna listen to the truth The whole truth and nothing but the truth Specially the youth in this age As we turn the page come on get ready! The time has come...
