lyrics

Time ago
Time ago
You should have listened when the roots-man warned you time ago
You should have listened when the roots-man warned you
You should have listened, but you never listened
Now look at our children, they kill other children
And look at the elders still knocking back pills then
What happened to mama?
Your mama gone missing...
And dads in the kitchen, cracking the pipe and piping the crack an' ting
One time ago the brothers bounced when they walked
Now they spit and curse when they talk
You're pulling down bridges
You never try build them
Look at our children
Look at the children

Time ago
Time ago
Time ago
You should have listened when the roots-man told you time ago
You should have listened when the roots-man warned them

You should have listened, but you never listened
Now how many crack-pipes to mash up a nation?
And after the crack-pipes, the gentrification
Now we got sniffer dogs waiting outside the station
Sniffing out dreadlocks for repatriation
Try to disgrace them
Threaten to mace them
Feel out of place then?

You should have listened when the roots-man told you time ago

Africa we want to go
Africa we want to go
Africa we want to go
Time ago
Time ago
Time ago
Africa we want to go

Listen, listen
Guns and ammunition
All the rude-boys and the soldiers fall into position
Guns bark, like old dogs inna the park
Babylon raid and arrest after dark..

You should have listened
