Hey, you keep on doing the same old thing
I keep making the same mistake
So we keep on getting nowhere
Move on for goodness sake
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
You say that it's all my fault
I say you're the one to blame
We go around in circles
How much more can we take
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
Only find me happy through a fight
And a try fi spite me
Say meh me no like you
Say meh you no like me
Will we ever get together
No not more than likely
Tell them it's not good to hold a grudge not even slightly
My friend go dead and one a yours dead back
And your friend go dead and one a mine's dead back
The cycle repeat and then a more life drop
Wanna seek them revenge and can't find bread back
Life is not a one way street
Let's find a two way lane
Cause we lost with the direction
So all we do is wait
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
You try your best not to lose
I try so hard to gain
There's two sides to a story
Let's turn a brand new page
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
You say that I'm uneducated
And I say educate me
And give me opportunity
You say that I'm lazy
I am underpaid and you don't wanna pay me
Try save a money but your money can't save me
Gas price go down a so it rise up back
Babylon we done you, you fi wise up back
The crime rate go down a so it rise up back
Babylon we done you, you fi wise up back
You find it so hard to stay
And I always want to go
And still there's no solution
Dissension is all we know
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
We've been through this before
Must we go through this again
It would be a tragedy if we can't
Learn from the past
We might not know where to go
But one thing I know for sure
If we stay still there's no way that we can last
So I'm a knight inna Jah army
King Selassie knight me
You work 9 to 5 and I say I am working nightly
You lock off the sound and I say keep it going lively
You say praise the Lord and I say keep on praising highly
You say lamb to slaughter, I say lion that is mighty
When the sun rise a morning time
Jah bless the blacky and the whitey
Oh good God almighty
Start unifying stop wasting time
Doing the same thing
And making the same mistake
So we keep on getting nowhere
Move on for goodness sake
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
Every time we start and stop
