Don't Shoot
by BenJah, Dillavou, Lee Green

Album: Vanity Fare

Verse 1: BenJah
I'm not an angel, I never claimed it
Is this what fame does, well this is dangerous
I'm not a god no, I'm just human
You don't need to magnify to see that
Yo, I'm just like you man
Don't look at us different
We all just need more grace now
We need more love now
So gather around in unity

Hook x2
Don't shoot
Don't be a killer
No more, hating here
Don't pull
Upon the trigger
I have no weapon on me now
So don't go on and shoot me down

Verse 2: Dillavou
Me neva love fi hear a bad man ago tek him share
From alla' 'di edda bredda workin it hard year afta bloody year
And neva! Make word fi build; a word fi hear
And speak ova di bredren dem to boost 'di love and boost 'di cheer
But now!
Dem use dem likkle tongue fi start a fiyah
Dem sound more like di devil den Messiah
You better bridle up the member sup the grace of God and stop!
Cause man a liar! You would know
A restless evil full a poison, So it go
Worthless religion, Selfish gain 'dem go so low
To get 'di pity, run 'di city
Lord have mercy People thirsty for 'di water from 'di heart it haffi flow!

Verse 3: BenJah
I'm not even close to perfect, I'm very far
The only true perfection, belongs to the Lord
And even if mi was, mi coulda' neva' please all
You see I could follow the word and do it right, you'd say I'm wrong
See the man without the sin can be the first one to shoot
Say please put down the gun it gonna backfire 'pon you say
Because you hear a fact, don't believe that it's the true way
And if you see me falling down it's cause I'm like you ayy
I need a little loving in all me life
But don't ignore my sin, we living in a war
Don't fire on a friend, but love will restore
I'll say again, man mi sing again
