SKIN DE PON SKIN - (Brother against Brother)

Hurricane a' blow, Banana ben low
Cutlass a' chop, bot a' nuh sugar cane a' drap!
Trade wind a' blow
Sinkcle-bible cyaan cool, de fiv'a pon mi brow!
De groun a' cri-out!
"A' nuh rain a' soak mi
Bot a' yuh bredda's blood, a' pour out pon mi!"
Weh de wind af change deh?
Wi ancesta's voice's wail!
Skin de pon skin
Maas's whip a' crack
Nuh, yuh bredda's back a' crack!
