Leo sina mengi wandugu. Nimeona MSURURU wa mafuta wiki hii na kuwaza
-apo wapi viongozi?
-Wako wapi wananchi wenye kuteseka?
-Tuna amani mawazoni ama machoni?
-Kuna siku "tutaamka" na kudai haki yetu?
SIKILIZA HUKU UKISOMA kufurahia kilichosemwa "zamani" lakini kina maana leo

So unnu nah wan open up unnu eye?
So unnu wan' me open it fi unnu?
I notice: dem say that what due to Caesar, give to Caesar
But what Caesar doin' for me an' you?
Nutting!
Eeeeh?

[I was drawn into myself]
Myself!
[Observing all this time
From every angle that I see
My people, you're meeting hell]
Marcia dem a feel it!
[So brothers have turned to crime
So they die from time to time]
Dem no stop die.
[We'd like to ask you leaders
What have you got in mind?]

The people dem a fool, an' dem a half idiot
Dem no see the food prices wan' boycott
Dem a fool, an' dem a half idiot
Dem no wan' fi demonstrate, an' mek the food price drop
Dem a fool, an' dem a half idiot
Some a dem a pose up, a gwan like dem a big shot
Dem a fool, an' dem a half idiot
Tell all the big bwoy seh, dey better turn back, 'cause:

[Fire fire f-f-fire, fire fire fire, fire burning
Another thing I saw in vision
Right in front these eyes] my eyes!
[Sisters prostituting, selling away their lives]
Nuthin' nah gwan fi dem
[They get but very little pay, the ones who clean the mess]
'undred dollar
[Minority who sits on top raise themselves the best]
Uh-mm
[But I see the fire spreading, it's getting hotter and hot] red hot!
[The haves will want to be
In the shoes of the have not]
Dem a tun fat cat!
[If the sign is on your door then you will be safe for sure
But if you are in pretence you're on the wrong side of the fence]

Me seh:
The youth dem nowadays a dead fi hungry
Dem can't find no job, lawd, fi earn no money
Dem can't find no food fi mind dem pickney
But lissen Cutty Rank a fling down reality
Dem mus' be fool, dem mus' be half idiot
Dem no see the food prices wan' boycott
Dem mus' be fool, dem mus' be half idiot
The people fi hold the Man strict, an' mek the food price drop
Dem mus' be fool, dem mus' be half idiot
Tell all the politician dem better tun back
Reality, yes, me a fling down reality,
Follow me now, massive an' crew
Reality, yes, me a fling down reality,
The youth dem a dead fi hungry
When mi come, say you know me welcome
When me come, a me an' Marcia come, cho!
When mi come seh you know say me welcome
You know seh Cutty Rank 'im jus' a blossom

[Another thing I saw in vision
Right in front these eyes] front my eyes!
[Sisters prostituting, selling away their lives]
Beca' dem nah earn nuttin'
[They get but very little pay, the ones who cleans the mess]
'undred dollar
[Minority who sits on top just raise themselves the best]
[But I see the fire spreading, it's getting hotter and hot] red hot!
[The haves will want to be
In the shoes of the have nots]
Selassie I know
[If the sign is on your door then you will be safe for sure] eeheh!
[But if you are in pretence you're on the wrong side of the fence]
Too much liberty,
Dem wan' fi tek away
Too much liberty
Dem no have no pity
Too much liberty
Dem wan' fi tek away
Too much liberty
We no earn no money
Unnu mus be fool, unnu mus' be half idiot
You no see the food prices wan' boycott
Unnu mus' be fool,unnu mus' be half idiot
Unnu no wan' demonstrate an' mek the food price drop.
