Start First Lyrics by Skindred

Babylon (2004 Lava Records)

2002

Now what's done in the dark must come to light
And some of them ah big up themself and ah grown with the badness
Jah know that no right
You don't know, you ah fe' come again and renew your sight

Start first, start first, oh
Say what? Start first, uno
Start first, start first
Say what? Start first

In this time of fighting and confusion
You and youth, them just caught in pollution
Bear destruction it runs through the nations
Building walls constructing segregation

Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself
We should live in love and health

Ah no we start first, ah them start first
Well one of you better give because the time is gettin' worse
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
And can't you live together? It's like we all under a curse
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
Well hell is getting hot and into flames it's gonna burst
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
And for a little peace you know the righteous them ah thirst

Revelation you know that it's dawning
Jerusalem, God's time piece in mourning
Time to wake up and take off your make up
Oh ye son's and ye daughter's of Jacob

Time to cool yourself, just cool yourself
We should live in love and health

Ah no we start first, ah them start first
Well one of you better give because the time is gettin' worse
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
And can't we live together? It's like we all under a curse
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
Well one of you better give because the time is gettin' worse
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
And for a little peace you know the righteous them ah thirst

Calling out to all who hear me
Can't we live in peace?
Calling out to all who hear me
Can't we live in peace?

In this time man ah shot and ah murder
How much more can we take it much further?

Start first, start first
Well one of you better give because the time is gettin' worse
We say, start first, start first
Hell is getting hot and into flames it's gonna
Ah no we start first, them start first
For a little peace you know the righteous them ah
Ah no we start first, ah them start first
Hell is getting hot and into flames it's gonna burst

'Cause we say
Start first, second, third, fourth, fifth, last
