Lyrics to Quicksand

We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand

Our country?s law is left in slippery hands

So many educated yet no solution

We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand



Number one, purge all police station

And some headquarters fi corruption

Two, some politicians don?t have a clue

One bag of promise, comfort fi a fool



Three, Mama can?t pay school fee

Blood out of stone, education no free

Four, ghetto youth with him gun hardcore

Plan fi mash a works, prison at him door



We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand

Our country?s law is left in slippery hands

So many educated yet no solution

We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand



Number five, prisons rehabilitation

Inmates fi go out and change the nation

Six, government and politics

People a bawl say the road want fix



Seven, courthouse flex like the Devil

Pure injustice and the law, it no level

Eight, blood shed climb, high rate

A long time ghetto youth a try hold the faith



We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand

Our country?s law is left in slippery hands

So many educated yet no solution

We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand



Number nine, rich man alone want climb

Inner cities need the resources for shine

Well ten, what about the homeless, them?

The place them sleep, it worse than hog pen



Eleven, me know say the world, it no level

Tables must turn and the scores soon settle

Twelve, Babylon must get melt

Good over evil, righteous dwell



We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand

Our country?s law is left in slippery hands

So many educated yet no solution

We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand



Oh, we goin' down

(In quicksand)

Oh, we goin', goin' down

Yes, we goin' down

We're goin' down in quicksand



Oh, we goin' down

(In quicksand)

Oh, we goin', goin' down

Yes, we goin' down

We're goin' down in quicksand
