Text: Abdel Wright. 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
