(Intro)
Dem for the people really?
Huh, huh, huh, yo
Have on to yuh unfortunate self
Lead to insanity poor people killin themselves fi vanity
Its Rodney dem gettin angry
(Chorus x2)
Poor people tell me how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
(Verse 1)
Its just out a di bag whole heap a secrets bursting
If yuh stay a back deh how di hell yuh fi verse him
Everyday yuh get up politician yuh cursing politician yuh cursing situation worsen
But a nuh lie, if yuh nuh try, well yuh nah go get nuh bligh
All a look like yuh waan see bread drop from di sky
Everyday dem get up an see di same hollow point
Mi hear seh Shane get freed him go gone test di fry
Well it nuh funny its mine to sink some orange an pine
An mek yuh own money an a nuh try tek away mine
Yuh got to mek pay, while di sun shine
Nuh stretch out yuh hand like yuh blind
(Chorus)
Else mi waan know how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
Poor people tell me how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
(Verse 2)
Warlord di role model footstep oonu fi follow
Show di yute dem di light when di path get narrow
An tell dem nuh chew more den weh dem can swallow
Nuh go outta deep if yuh see mi in di shallow
Wedda di eagle or di hawk show wi a better tommorrow

Yuh nuh see seh gosling limpin it a fly like a sparrow
Afta success mi shoot like an arrow
(Chorus)
Mi waan know how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
Poor people tell me how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
(Verse 1)
(Chorus)
Else mi waan know how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
Poor people tell me how yuh a go gain
If everyday yuh get up politicians yuh a blame
Run to di media an go launch yuh complain
A lick on di leaders when tings still are di same
