sabir dk - concrete paradise lyrics

ya tink ya know di place…
but ya only see what dem want ya fi see
listen…

welcome to di concrete paradise
where every corner hold a price
and every smile is a device
ya betta tink twice
this ah di concrete paradise
dem sell yu sunshine, sell yu spice
but underneat’ it, cold as ice
ya betta tek advice

out pon di streets, sun a bleach di zinc fence hot
young yute dem a pree di clock, fi mek a likkle knot
belly hungry, but di dream nuh stop
from politician promise to di gunshot weh pop
see di tourist dem a laugh, dem nuh know di half
sippin’ rum punch down a di tourist path

but just ‘roun di bend, reality start
a mother cryin’ fi a son wid a broken heart
di system set, di table rig
di small man haffi hustle, haffi dig and dig
while di big man dem live big
and tell we fi be grateful fi a fig
welcome to di concrete paradise
where every corner hold a price
and every smile is a device
ya betta tink twice
this ah di concrete paradise
dem sell yu sunshine, sell yu spice
but underneat’ it, cold as ice
ya betta tek advice

dem call it progress, look di brand new highway
but it nuh lead nowhere fi di youth of today
just a fast track to di cemetery gate, or di prison stay
so we learn fi navigate, learn fi meditate
pon how fi mek it through another day

politricks+man inna crisp white shirt
sellin’ dreams fi kick up dutty dirt
dem promise heaven but dem give we hurt
put di money inna pocket while di people ah search
for a sign, for a reason, for a likkle piece
but all we get is war when we ah beg fi peace

so when di bassline drop and di place get dark
nuh bada ask why di dogs dem a bark
every man ah carry him own mark
a silent fire burnin’ from a single spark
from kingston to mobay, it ah di same story
dem sell di glory, but hide di category
of di sufferation, dis yah territory
yeah… concrete paradise
every man for himself
look sharp
yeah…
a so it go…
