Lyrics:

Mi nah watch nuh face, no
Nah watch nuh face, no
Nah watch nuh face again
Mi nah watch no face
Nah watch no face
No, no way

When me say Blood Money
Dem probably wah fi come fi me
Suppose me tell you bout Seaga and the CIA
And wah them use fi destabilize the economy
And who did set the order, bring in guns a Tivoli
April 22nd ,1978
Jacob Miller, Bucky Marshall, Claudie pon a stage
Marley call out Manley and Seaga, dem say peace
But beg you pree dem face and then go check the date
Not even a year after inna ‘79
Dem murder Claudia Massop, shot him 40 time
1980’s wild, mi tell you inna March
Dem murder Bucky a New York
Jacob dead in a crash
No haffi tell you
Wha happen May 11
From you bless so dem will kill you
But the message we no give up, mi seh
Nothing no shift up
Just lip up, dem a lip up
With di tings weh dem a keep up
Is a stick up

I know dem nah go teach you this a school, no
But you done know a so Jamaica rule though
And any time you try fi make a move yah
It comin’ like you have sumpin fi prove yah
You coulda graduate and set yuh future
And still haffi a look out fi di shoota
If you a woman, you a get abuse too
You no see nothing no deh fi do, no

How much we owe the IMF, huh? Waa?
And wah the benefit we get, huh? Waa?
A who did say lock up all Rastafari
Bring dem in dead or alive
And never want fi survive, huh?
Now everything you hear, you can’t believe
Even if the person that said it was me
Do a likkle research fi yourself and see
Open a book or watch a documentary
Life and debt
Wah the threat
Walter Rodney say it best
Once the masses educated then unstoppable we get
So you see, illiteracy is not an accident
It’s precisely why we fight amongst we self

I know dem nah go teach you this a school, no
But you done know a so Jamaica rule though
And any time you try fi make a move yah
It comin’ like you have sumpin fi prove yah
You coulda graduate and set yuh future
And still haffi a look out fi di shoota
If you a woman, you a get abuse too
You no see nothing no deh fi do, no

Nah watch nuh face, no
