Reason

I am the shadow warrior from creation

And I stand amidst the flames with my sword in my hand

Chanting down the hypocrites by popular demand

You know I give you something the people they want

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

The shadow warrior the ragamuffin soldier

Just a gwan with my big gun deh pon my shoulder

Firebomb fe warm your heart so you no fe get colder

As times getting dreader seh we must get bolder

Let's move together in the right direction

No matter where you're from no matter your complexion

From ever nation and people of all religions

Just want food and shelter love and affection

Let's throw weh the bombs and put down the knives and guns

Though we all hate the war we got to love the veterans

Love the hookers though you hate the prostitution

Cause the whole a we are sinners

But we all know the right from wrong

I say we all know the right from wrong

I say we all know the right from wrong

I say we all know the right from wrong

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

I creep through the shadows with my sword called reason

On my mission from creation to declare open Season

On hatred fear and jealousy and chop up the demons

As I slice through the darkness with my truth sword beaming

Do you remember the garden of eden

I recall it so clearly and that's my inspiration

Just to remind you that's my motivation

Cause together we got the power to arrange the situation

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

I creep in silent fe go lick plenty shot

I got to move fast because the runnin's getting hot

So if you want to overstand you fe follow the plot

You try to chop it up but it's just one dot

And every word I drop is like a gold ingot

'Cause you got to drop nuggets or just get off the pot

And every good deed is like a coin in a slot

If you play long enough you're bound to hit the jackpot

I never try to tell you that I am what I'm not

So all politrickster a fe run like a rat

Some a dem try to bribe and some a extort

Some tek it for a game some tek it for a sport

But no matter where they run dem nah go find a safe port

Them a go find themselves guilty in the ultimate court

Can't follow this if your attention is too short

Cause Jah Jah is my shield and Jah Jah is my fort

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

If you want to reason

Sometimes you gotta stay out late you got to stay up

Hear wisdom cries out in the streets

Hear her voice in the square her tears in the market

And out at the gates in the city she utters her words

And she says 'how long will you simple ones love being simple

How long will you fools hate knowledge
