Is It Worth It? (Gunman World) lyrics - Damian Marley

Two sides to a coin

The one must chose which side they join

You know?

Brotherman

Yeah

And meanwhile one man's meal

Is another man's poison

Mankind will do what they must to survive

Innit

Hear me now

In a gunman world

Any night him clock in at work

Marrow splatter, the toolbox pull

The magazine inna the two Glock full

And he's watching as the days go by

And he's counting as his peers all die

Sleeping with the rifle 'cross his chest

So he never gets a good night's rest

And then he's cranky in the morning times

And more victims have to lose their lives

The community a twist and twirl

Sing that they wasn't in a gunman world

In a gunman life

He might not come home from work one night

So every minute matter

Ignores advice

From his weeping baby mother and child

That he won't win every game he plays

So she know he'll meet his end one day

Some juvenile will have to earn his stripe

And have to take another gunman's life

What if a backstabber names his price?

And how ironic if him dead from knife

The 'mount of bullet weh him put 'pon boy

Job description: kill and destroy

Now tell me is it worth it all?

If one Don rise then a next must fall

Tell me is it worth it all?

Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?

One child smile while a next one bawl

Tell me is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

Is it worth it all?

Well, in a gunman world

Life is so stressful

Back to school time come

'Cause when a gunman work

If he is successful

And the job is well done

Then there will be an unsolved crime

With no one to fill out all blank line

John Public haffi hear and deaf

Informer get a kuff, kaff, kweff

Does he get nervous just like you and I?

Watching out if the police pass by

'Cause any day you hear a gunman fail

Then it's either dead house or jail

What will it cost to make a gunman rich?

How many lives before a gunman switch?

The truth me want the youth them stop ignore

Say the majority of gunman poor, oya, oh

'Cause tell me is it worth it all?

If one don rise then a next one fall

Tell me is it worth it all?

Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?

One child smile while a next one bawl

Tell me is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

Is it worth it all?

And when a gunman makes choice

I wonder what goes through a gunman's mind

And does a gunman think twice?

Before him takes another someone's life?

I wonder what it is a gunman say

To the Father when a gunman pray

Does he kiss his kids to bed at night?

Making sure the blanket tucked just right?

Nothing no scary like a gunman voice

When people beg a gunman think twice

And him say, "No"

What coulda scary like a gunman voice?

When people beg a gunman think twice

And him say, "No"

Can you tell me is it worth it all?

If one don rise then a next must fall

Tell me is it worth it all?

Those sleepless nights on patrol roll call

Tell me is it worth it all?

Don child smile while a next one bawl

Tell me is it worth it?

Is it worth it?

Is it worth it all?
