Tivolee Gardens

Justice demands that the guilty must pay 
But Coke and his posse did not see it that way 
July 7th 2001 
in came police
And the killings begun
The Shower posse arm to the teeth
3 days violence a lifetime of grief  
More drugs and more guns more money and power
And No force or no army could take down the shower
The police under fire some dying some dead
Dinero o plomo , money or lead
Dudus is hunted Kingston is beat 
They fight for the don they fight for the street
Coke and his posse joined At the hip
But unlike a captain he abandons his ship 
The battle is raging but he’s nowhere In sight 
Leaving his people he runs from the fight 
A month Or 2 later it’s the End of his gig 
As he’s Caught at the border wearing a wig
Extradited to the US  to serve 23 years
And just like his farther it will all end in tears.
