Dublin Town
Rollin' down to Dublin TownComin' from the Northside, headin' SouthboundThe glare of the city, you can see it in the skySee it in the faces when I'm passing them byDublin TownBright lights all aroundAll the different soundsConcrete surroundsYou need a few pounds or there's nothing to doNo muns, no fun in the foggy dewI be signing on, off Gardiner streetSee all the people struggling just to make ends meetThe more unfortunate ones be begging at your feetWe'll have to send a warning to the socially eliteAnd I repeat, if you keep a people downIn any old townOr countryThey'll rise don't you seeIt's the will to surviveThat keeps them aliveAnd they're starting to see through all the liesThat they've contrived, so I say to you allTo educate yourself, become well readAnd start to use the headContemplate your own situationLetras de cancionesFind the true enemy and stop banging headsWith the victims of its greedAm I getting too serious?Well this was meant to be a love songWell it is a love song because I love my peopleNot so long ago, back in the good old daysI dreamed of Irish laws and Irish waysAnd saw that the present days weren't so goodAnd the only thing I could think about them that was goodWas most of the people that surrounded meBut still I call them good old days because of the craicThat we hadWe refused to stay sadIf you have your own around you and also possess your healthAt the end of the day you'll discover that that is the mostEssential wealthI throw my mind backAnd recall the days I used to have the craicBack in Dublin townGetting down to the Irish and Jamaican soundslistenin' and learning about lifeHelping me make it through the strifeSuckin on a big fat spliff full of rockyFlagon in my handBe makin me feel grandDiscussing this and thatAnd thinking about the nowThinking about the future, making myself a vowI wasn't going to waste my lifeBut I was going to live and loveDo the best that I couldI was going to bring some music to the peopleand tell them that they were equalBut some of them wouldn't listenAnd this is what is pissin'The rest of us offYou would wanna start listening to us, you wouldCoz to you we aren't going to be good foreverYeh maybe even here, in the Dublin TownThings could get turned upside down
