It ’s me o ’Lord,Standing in the need of prayer

Not my father,not my mother,Not my brother,Lord !!

Standing in the need of prayer,Not sister Jane,brother Brown

Peter,Paul or John,Standing in the need of prayer

It ’s me o ’Lord,Standing in the need of prayer

Every dance on Frontline I had to go

Girls galore,we couldn ’t want more

Badness run the town,Rude boy control

Every gun drop on the land,we burst it done

And all of our enemy had to gallup and run

I was a lyer,rubber,a murderer and a thief

The worst Hotstepper in the land you see

Watch me now on death row!!

Capital punisment drop like a hammer blow

It ’s me o ’Lord,Standing in the need of prayer

Not my father,not my mother,Not my brother,Lord !!

Standing in the need of prayer,Not sister Jane,brother Brown

Peter,Paul or John,Standing in the need of prayer

It ’s me o ’Lord,Standing in the need of prayer

Watch me now on death row

Capital punisment drop like a hammer blow

And time is moving so slow

Sweet Jamaica,land of wood and water

All over the world I hear the praise

They say it ’s a paradise,but

Ghetto youth feel heat and it ’s not nice

For the crumbs we have to fuss and fight
