Verse One
There is a little place in Africa
Where all the children died of aids
And there is a little place called Jamaica
Children loose their lives in first grade
And there is a little place in Asia
Children loose their lives to bombs and grenade
And there is a little place called America
Children are growing up being afraid
Caught up in the system
Chorus (x2)
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up in deh oh oh in deh
Don't wanna be caught up don't wanna be caught up
In deh oh oh in deh.
Verse Two
Were are living in a crazy lazy word
Most people fight for power not peace
And we are living in a crazy lazy world
Only Jah can save us from the belly of the beast
Caught up in the system
Don't wanna be a victim
Chorus (x2)
Don't wanna be caught up
Don't wanna be caught up in deh oh oh in deh
Don't wanna be caught up don't wanna be caught up
In deh oh oh in deh.
Verse Three
Say there is no more chains
Round their feet or round their necks
But the trick is it's all in the brain
Fighting everyday that's the price you have to pay
For the birth right that you gave away. Gave away.
