[Intro]

Now what's done in di dark must come to light

An' some a dem a big up dem self an' a gwaan wid di badness

Jah know dat nuh right

You done know yuh haffi come again and renew your sight

Start first, start first, boom

Seh wah? Start first, unno

[Verse 1]

In dis time of fighting and confusion

Yute and yute dem just caught in pollution

Bear destruction it runs through di nations

Buildin' walls, constructin' segregation (Time, time)

[Pre-Chorus]

Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself

We should live in love and health

[Chorus]

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

Well one of you better give becah the time is gettin' worse

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

And can't you live together? It's like we all under a curse

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

Well hell is gettin' hot and into flames it's gonna burst

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

And for a likkle peace yuh know the righteous dem a thirst

Jerusalem, God's time piece in mournin'

Time to wake up and take off your make up

Oh, yuh sons and yuh daughters of Jacob (Time, time)

Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself

We should live in love and health

[Chorus]

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

Well one of you better give becah the time is gettin' worse

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

And can't you live together? It's like we all under a curse

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

Well one of you better give becah the time is gettin' worse

An' a wi start first, a dem start first

And for a likkle peace yuh know the righteous dem a thirst
