Jancro's Judgment: A Tale of Justice in Kingston Town
Lyrics
The eagle find him place in darkness
The eagle finds its place in darkness
Fisherman find him place by the sea
The fisherman finds his place by the sea
Light up with that in Kingston town
Illuminate with that in Kingston town
Mi bredren know you a come home without me
My brother, you're coming home without me
Ev'ry road have a bend, ev'ry wicked have an end
Every road has a bend, every wicked person has an end
What your hands commit I know your body mus' feel
What your hands commit, I know your body must feel
In this wicked, wicked war your time has come
In this wicked war, your time has come
You don't live right you will have no more fun
If you don't live right, you will have no more fun
Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy
The vulture will eat your supper soon, boy
Jancro a go lead the children astray
The vulture will lead the children astray
Jancro a go meet the retribution
The vulture will face retribution
Justice has finally find it's way
Justice has finally found its way
Still, oh yes, you know that your time has come
Your time has come, you know that
You don't do right you gonna dead tonight
If you don't do right, you'll die tonight
So now a go take you down the road to doom
Now I'll take you down the road to doom
The jancro a go nyam all your supper soon
The vulture will eat all your supper soon
Jancro a go nyam your supper soon, boy
The vulture will eat your supper soon, boy
Jancro a go lead the children astray
The vulture will lead the children astray
Jancro a go meet the retribution
The vulture will face retribution
Justice has finally find a way
Justice has finally found a way
Are you worried, says the wolf in sheep's clothing
Are you worried, asks the deceptive person
Try to lead the children astray
Trying to lead the children astray
But don't we know (?) a who fe frighten
But don't we know who to frighten
take my hands I will show you the way
Take my hands, I will show you the way
Jancro......Jancro
The vulture...
