[Intro]
What am I go' do
What am I go' do
When a youth get shot?
What am I go' do
When a plastic bullet bus' him head top?
What am I go' do
What am I go' do
When a youth get shot?
What am I go' do
When a plastic bullet bus' him head top?
[Refrain]
We don't want no plastic bullet
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullet
We don't need none a' dat
We don't want no plastic bullets
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullet
We don't need none a' dat

What am I go' do
What am I go' do
When a youth get shot?
What am I go' do
When a plastic bullet bus' him head top?
What am I go' do
What am I go' do
When a youth get shot?
What am I go' do
When a plastic bullet bus' him head top?
[Verse 2]
Have you seen those plastic bullets?
Man, they tough like a rock
Wouldn't like that bullet [?] lick off mi hat
Any a' we catch you, man, you mus' have be drop
If it lick you in it your privates you'd be talkin' like that
How the hell do they think that the people would react
If somebody was shot and they said it was just a mishap
Becau' the people wouldn't really want to hear that crap
Instead a' rocks [?] would a-fire [?] shots
[Refrain]
So, we don't want no plastic bullet
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullet
We don't need none a' dat
We don't want no plastic bullet
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullet
We don't need none a' dat
[Verse 3]
No jobs, money, discrimination, and [?]
All these things can contribute to make a youth crack
So, it is no surprise when some a' them snap
And den dem [?] a crime and den dey fall into a trap
It's a bad situation, but it is a fact
That the voice of the oppressed nowadays is riot
Now, the people at the top don't want listen when you chat
Between the rich and the poor, man, is too great a gap
[Refrain]
So, we don't want no plastic bullet
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullets
We don't need none a' dat
We don't want no plastic bullets
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullet
We don't need none a' dat
[Verse 4]
'Cau' some a' dem don't know what it's like to be Black
Inna this society you're at the bottom of the pack
'Cause some people treat you like you are an idiot
And other people treat you like you a piece o' cow pat
You get turned down for a job quite a lot
A lot a' time police, man, dem der 'pon yuh back
Dey put we all together in a concrete block
When you're goin' to the shop, them follow you 'round the shop
When a chile says he wants to do O-level math
And the teacher will say "No" and give that child a cricket bat
Or send him 'pon the [?] run a couple of lap
'Cau' they know he will do better runnin' on the racetrack
Stop the causes of the riots, and the riots will stop
What we need is more Black people at the top
If you're lookin' at the top right now there is not a lot
It's like lookin' for a needle inna [?] haystack
Plastic bullet's not the answer, man, we all know that
Whoever suggest it should a-visit [?]
We want equality and justice for the white and black
Now, I don't really think that is askin' a lot
[Refrain]
So, we don't want no plastic bullets
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullets
We don't need none a' dat
We don't want no plastic bullet
We don't want none a' dat
We don't need no plastic bullets
We don't need none a' dat
