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
