Ah Looking for Hope!

By Atma “Taboo” Maharaj

Ah looking for Hope;
Ah hear the youthman say,
Ah looking for Hope,
Too much murders every day.

Ah looking for Hope
Cyar find him at all,
Is better ah try dope
Ah hear the youthman bawl!

Ah search country; and town
But it was in vain
Hope just cannot be found,
Is like an going insane.

Ah went to church, and Parliament
Somebody send meh dey;
But to my astonishment!
Hope just slipped away.

Ah try the schools, the media
Nobody eh see Hope at all.
Ah talk to meh local pastor
Hope doh come to church at all.

Through frustration and agony
With no Hope in sight;
The youthman getting angry
Somebody could dead tonight.

Hold yuh hand youthman
Doh get so hot,
Try to understand
Hope! Is all yuh got.
