Don't Treat We Like That

I remember when I was young People talking in a foreign tongue Time went by I grew strong Learned to stray from Babylon Traveled far open eyes Didn't take long to realize Poverty heart is strong Still they sing to get along If there's something wrong I can hear you say Don't treat we like that, treat we like that You can help someone have a better day Don't treat we like that, treat we like that If you come round here leave your knife and gun Don't treat we like that, treat we like that We can make a change for everyone The story grows you give advice Many grew old with sacrifice We pass along in this life Those who still must pay the price As I come to you another show Community youth continue to grow Some are forced to stand aside Wipe the tears swallow pride In Jamaica many years ago A tourist place near Ocho Rios Saw the security Dunns River falls Club a head the tears did fall Man looked at me with open arms To beg from here only does us harm No paper passed he can't get in Roadblock here for the colored skin Gonna break these chains, gonna make a change So let the people know were gonna share some love If there's something wrong I can hear you say Don't treat we like that, treat we like that You can help someone have a better day Don't treat we like that, treat we like that If you come round here leave your knife and gun Don't treat we like that, treat we like that We can make a change for everyone
