Protection

[00:25.82] A word unto the wise is enough
[00:30.24] You can look, but don't touch
[00:33.10] My relations and such
[00:38.10] 'Cause out here in this jungle, we roar
[00:42.41] Every king has his throne
[00:45.22] And if you enter my zone
[00:48.53] I'll vow to protect my own
[00:52.49] Protect my own
[00:55.08] I will protect my own
[00:58.67] Protect my own
[01:02.95] Bread basket from birth to the casket
[01:05.41] I heard they been talking some words, I look past it
[01:09.03] I was brought up and thought of the tactics
[01:11.54] And learned that the Lion no turn when dog barkin'
[01:15.36] Watch who you burn, who you're stuck with
[01:18.09] And you haffi go earn if you want it
[01:21.18] So, we nuh concern with who harking
[01:24.10] When dem spit can't catch where we're walking
[01:27.29] Enemies in disguise, wanna see my demise
[01:30.26] Dem don't even realize Jah no wrong dem
[01:33.34] 'Cause ah see that in life you achieve something nice
[01:36.39] But achieve something twice is a problem
[01:39.39] Then, you can imagine what I face
[01:42.03] Two up in hand and another on the way
[01:45.70] Plus I have another in the brain
[01:48.06] And every other one a put the other one to shame
[01:51.09] A word unto the wise is enough
[01:55.47] You can look, but don't touch
[01:58.19] My reparation and such
[02:03.04] 'Cause out here in this jungle we roar
[02:07.50] Every king has his throne
[02:10.31] And if you enter my zone
[02:13.79] I'll vow to protect my own
[02:17.42] Protect my own
[02:19.82] I will protect my own
[02:23.50] Protect my own
[02:27.23] Yeah, yeah, sharp like the thorn crown 'pon Christ head
[02:31.05] But you know the flow hard, though, like slice bread
[02:34.00] Lyrics melt the butter fi mek a nice spread
[02:36.93] But a-nuh margarine, a-pull the margin in
[02:40.02] Dem stretching, dem marching out
[02:41.45] And if you marching out
[02:42.93] And you inna a doubt, you march without me
[02:45.96] I rather march alone than fi march back home
[02:49.00] Tell me queen say me lost the throne
[02:51.49] No, this was built on the power of the truth
[02:54.85] Discovering the powers and empowering the youth
[02:57.68] If you give dem a minute, dem devouring the fruits
[03:00.99] And within an hour called it sour chappy roots
[03:03.55] You know see it, nuh skill like Bibi 'pon me feet
[03:07.04] But drop me 'pon di riddim, watch the clarity weh speak
[03:09.64] Dem nuh parity between what we have and what we need
[03:12.94] So, strength out the wise and protection for the meek, 'cause ah
[03:16.04] A word unto the wise is enough
[03:20.48] You can look, but don't touch
[03:23.14] My reparation and such
[03:28.21] 'Cause out here in this jungle we roar
[03:32.57] Every king has his throne
[03:35.32] And if you enter my zone (zone)
