Beware Lyrics - Parables - Tarrus Riley

[INTRO:] 

Beware for the Shottas dem strap 

rastaman ah tell di youths dem fill low di Glock 

Beware now dat cause heart attach and dem nuh care(no ooo) 

Its a shame to see brothers killing themselves 

Wasting energy, should be uplifting themselves 

Who's di enemy putting shots on the shelf 

What we need is brain-food and belly-food for our health 

So don't get caught up in a petty passion 

Be careful of dem guns and ammunition 

And let us make a change in meditation 

Cause we could use the strength for cultivation(my lord!)
