Judgement Fi All
THE STORY
Here, DEM LAWYA steps into the role of an advocate confronting power with the very rules it claims to uphold. Facts, clauses and overlooked details become instruments of resistance. The courtroom language opens into a larger, almost mythic struggle: towers with weak foundations, a lion facing a serpent, truth arriving with the weight of prophecy. Behind those images are people with immediate needs, including young people left waiting and mothers facing rent deadlines. The song's force comes from joining that everyday vulnerability to an uncompromising demand. Authority must answer to evidence, and the people it overlooks deserve someone prepared to read every line.

It was written inna book, inna code, inna law Say di wicked cyaan run when di truth start draw Babylon build wall but di people climb tall DEM LAWYA step in, bring judgement fi all It was written, written long before yuh know Justice haffi rise when di truth start flow Pages a burn when di prophecy turn Dem file fake claims but di court soon learn Mi bring facts pon facts, evidence firm Drop clause after clause till di whole place churn Dem a talk bout power but a shadow dem keep Dem build Babylon tower but foundation weak Mi move like lion when di serpent creep Gavel inna hand mek di dragon sleep Fi di youth dem stuck inna di waiting line Fi di mothers weh a cry at di rent deadline But mi mind stay sharp like a blade in war Mi see loopholes hide in di text of law Every comma, every section, mi pree dem raw If dem breach one clause, mi dismantle it all Truth drop heavy from Zion sky DEM LAWYA rise, Babylon cry Ohhh... judgement rise Ohhh... freedom rise Stand tall... stand tall... justice call It was written... written... written
