Jah9 - Intentions lyrics

I'm beginning to wonder about your intensions Too many instances of deception Too many alibis and excuses Too many attempts to deny the abuses Too many reasons to complain Too many losses too little gain The very existence is a strain on the people I know cause I am woman so I can see That life don't reside where there isn't no harmony And I sing cause I care and wouldn't want anybody That I love to be circumstanced out of existence Yes I'm beginning to wonder about your attention Where is it focusing in what direction Is your life force in execution Forming opinions or finding solutions Declaring the victim, sharing the blame Representing the potential for change but only in name Then with taxation and oppression put a strain on the people I speak what I know; Words are reserved for the truth Not perfect but aware of the example I set for the youth And I sing cause I care and wouldn't want none of these sons and daughters To go astray when I could have paved the way Yes I'm beginning to tire of all these expenses Borne by the people relegated to zinc fences Keeping the resources out of their reach Breeding frustration with the values you teach In the media everyday then deny them a way to attain it But force them to work and maintain it and not take a share Then the police force the fear into the brains of the people I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare And I sing for justice in a time when the people May be too distracted to even care My voice will still be there The people have to work so hard while those with the power keep the plenty for themselves. Meaningless competition for scares resources in a material driven world. Our children have no example of integrity and industry and love. And so for these atrocities against humanity the perpetrators will have to pay. I know from experience that the system is flawed and unfair So I live outside it as much as I possibly dare And I sing for justice in a time when the people May be too distracted to even care My voice will still be there
