Laventille here we come
We're singin praises to your son
Oh Laventille here we come
Somewhere up in Laventille many years ago
Ah man had a hammer used to follow him to and fro
It used to have a lil bacchanal
Specially round de carnival
But we had a unity a mighty community
Ever since de hammer just disappear
Say de love just vanish into thin air
Since de man with de hammer gone
Tell me what is going on
We treating de love with a kinda scorn
Tell me what is going on
United we stand, divided we fall
Tell me what is going on
You go see how Peter paying for Paul
Tell me what is going on
Time tuh rise back up (dread!)
Start de lovin up
If you love to fight
Is time to unite
If de dragon cyar walk de trail no more
(Well then) De legend mus' live on forever more
From April of '85 Hammer went to sleep
After years of making noise, not even a peep
Man de hill still going strong
Is just
One set a violence
Somethng just eh making sense
David boy it not as bad as it seems
So much people dying gyul how you mean, how you mean
Since de man with de hammer gone
Tell me what is going on
Wey de love in Laventille gone?
Tell me what is going on
United we stand, divided we fall
Tell me what is going on
You done see how Peter paying for Paul
Tell me what is going on
Learn de golden rule (dread!)
Leh we stay in school
All ah we is one
De struggle goes on and on and on and on
If de dragon cyar walk de trail no more
(Well then) De legend mus' live on forever more
Ah say that we wukking de trail...
We wukking de trail...
We wukking de trail...
We wukking de trail...
If de dragon cyar walk de trail no more
Well then de legend mus' live on forever more
After all is said and done
Leh we turn de page
Let's move to a higher ground
Forget de fire rage
Focus on environment
And cultural upliftment
Show them that we have it still
And leh we big up laventille
So much years he have a watch over we
Continue the fight until we free, truly free, truly free
Since de man with de hammer gone
Tell me what is going on
We treating de love with a kinda scorn
Tell me what is going on
United we stand, divided we fall
Tell me what is going on
You go see how Peter paying for Paul
Tell me what is going on
All de negative (dread!)
Make it positive (dread!)
Respect is a must
