Hey, Roach (eeh)
I think dem fi deal wid poor people wid a better approach
How you mean?
First-class from coach, ay

Emergency, we a suffer 'round here
'Round here, man a dead, tings tough around here
Crime scene, tall up man a go fa 'round here
Mr. Man, weh you doing fi di gutter 'round there?
Emergency, we a suffer 'round here
'Round here, man a dead, tings tougher around here
Crime scene, tall up man a go fa 'round here
Mr. Man, weh you doing fi di gutter 'round there?

Two party, but a di same sad song dem a play
Poor people money lean back and rockaway
Dem raise everyting from oil to Craven A
Then how dem nuh raise up everybody pay?
Portmore me born, a deh suh mi yard stay
So me nah pay no toll fi cross di causeway
Mr. Bruce, Mr. PJ
This is just a couple question from Addi di DJ
Question, Kingston mek no AK?
Question, how gun come inna JA?
Who own di wharf and di airport, di docks and di bay?
How you mean?

Everyting except dead people a raise
Di dead man a say him better off in di grave
How you fi save pon minimum wage
When two yute go high school, two go all age?
Dem change dem face like Nicholas Cage
True election a come, temporary re-arrange
Me rate Bruce, me rate PJ
But dem wan we dead off like dog weh have mange
Me born as a sufferer when it a go change?
Me love Portia Simpson, me love Babsy Grange
But if dem no tun a new page
Me nah wear no green nor no red again
Me a wear beige
Yute deh a di stoplight, beg unnuh a change
Dem dog live better than we, dem outrage
You know how much innocent yute deh a hundred man inna di cage, eeh?
