What if the camera really do

Dis is di age a reality
But some a wi a deal wid mythology
Dis is di age of science and technology
But some a wi a check fi antiquity

When wi cyaan face reality, weh wi duh?
Wi leggo wi clarity
Some latch on to vanity
Some hold insanity
Some get vision
Start preach religion
But dem cyaan mek decision when it come tuh wi fight
Dem cyaan mek decision when it come tuh wi right, man

Dis is di age a reality
But some a wi a deal wid mythology
Dis is di age of science and technology
But some a wi a check fi antiquity

(Flashbulb eyes, flash, flash, flash)

Dem one deh gone out a line
Dem nah live in fiweh time
Fah dem seh dem get sign
An dem blind dem eye to the light of the world and gone search within
Di darker, dem doom and a shout 'bout sin
Instead a fight fi win, man

Dis is di age a reality
But some a wi a deal wid mythology
Dis is di age of science and technology
But some a wi a check fi antiquity

Dis is di age of decision
Suh mek wi leggo religion
Dis is di age of decision
Suh mek wi leggo di vision

Dis is di age of reality
Suh mek wi leggo mythology
Dis is di age of Science and Technology
So mek wi hold di clarity
Mek wi hold di clarity, please
Mek wi hold di clarity
