HELP
By Mighty Duke (1999)

I refuse to sit down and turn mih face [in mih country]
Too much ah damn nonsense taking place [in mih country]
Drug men doing more business than ------ [in mih country]
Under the guise of respectability [in mih country]
No, you can't tell the children crime doesn't pay [in mih country]
When they seeing drug millionaires everyday [in mih country]
Drugs controlling big stores, hotels and malls [in mih country]
And it appear like the police ent have no back [in mih country]

Could you tell me where, where have all the good men gone?
Where? Don't they know what's going on?
This country we love heading on a weird trip
Father, send down some guidance and leadership
Help! Father lend a hand [help] or send down a man [help]
Tell we who to trust [help]
Father, please you must help, help, help, help, help, help, help!

Men we respect and worship like kings [in mih country]
You never suspect they deep in the thing [in mih country]
These drug business people living like czars [in mih country]
Big, big, big mansions, sailboat and snazzy cars [in mih country]
No, this business ent run by no poorer man [in mih country]
They are all well placed in high position [in mih country]
Still, police say they nameless, they have no face [in mih country]
They could only make marijuana case [in mih country]

Could you tell me where, where have all the good men gone?
Where? Don't they know what's going on?
This country we love heading on a weird trip
Father, send down some guidance and leadership
Help! Father lend a hand [help] or send down a man [help]
Tell we who to trust [help]
Father, please you must help, help, help, help, help, help, help!

We have more drug business than barbecue [in mih country]
Keepers of the law ent telling them boo [in mih country]
They doing their do, moving in and out [in mih country]
Drug money like glue sealing people mouth [in mih country]
If you ----- drug business, we coming first [in mih country]
Drug is now we industry and commerce [in mih country]
Ey! Look drug money dress up in suit and tie [in mih country]
Only watching and making police sweet eye [in mih country]

Could you tell me where, where have all the good men gone?
Where? Don't they know what's going on?
This country we love heading on a weird trip
Father, send down some guidance and leadership
Help! Father lend a hand [help] or send down a man [help]
Tell we who to trust [help]
Father, please you must help, help, help, help, help, help, help!

This thing affecting both rich and poor [in mih country]
It's making a damn mockery of the law [in mih country]
We bring Scotland Yard, we bring FBI [in mih country]
We police get mad, they get mamaguy [in mih country]
Yesterday you poor, this morning you rich [in mih country]
No, I don't know who honest or which is which [in mih country]
Ey! Look drug money jump up and making mas' [in mih country]
And government sit down scratching they face [in mih country]

Could you tell me where, where have all the good men gone?
Where? Don't they know what's going on?
This country we love heading on a weird trip
Father, send down some guidance and leadership
Help! Father lend a hand [help] or send down a man [help]
Tell we who to trust [help]
Father, please you must help, help, help, help, help, help, help!

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Mighty Duke.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
