Violence and Crime is very bad,

It makes us all sad,

The fires and lightening,

The troubles and frightening,

All because of violence and crime,

There’s no way to turn back time,

Spanish Town is now a war zone,

Someone has to speak in an angry tone,

It’s turning into a total disaster,

Much, more faster,

The trouble and crimes wouldn’t get away.

’Cause everyone thinks it’s something to stay,

We’re having these problems everyday,

No one can’t even stand up and say,

Violence and crime is causing the trouble,

If it goes on the trouble might double.
