Woah now, woah now.

Verse 2:

Am
 Stop your fighting,
Back away back biting,
Let's unite now,
Not dividing.
These are things,
That I can't stand,
Says we're acting,
Like crabs in a can now.

 Nuff a fe we,
Youth dem turn to,
Am
 Drugs and crime.

 Come lets save,
The rest 'cos we are,
Am
 Loosing time now.

 Heads in shame, yeah.
