Dem Nuh Like Wi

[Intro:]
Stephen ah di genius
Me cyaa believe
Police lock up di taxi man
Weh a hustle fi him family
That's why people ah dead like dog
Officer!
Ah survivor ting
Beg yuh ah bligh fi di coaster driver dem
Memba dem ah have dem pickney fi feed
At that time
Suh bloodclaat hard

[Verse 1:]
Yuh tek ghetto people dem fi cartoon
Time weh yuh spend ah try fi ban chune
Spend da time deh fi build poor people house
Cah nuff ah we still ah kotch up inna one room
Wah happen to di nurse ah public hospital
Weh government ah treat like dem ah likkle gyal

And yuh nah sentence white collar criminal
Chicken back rate and pickney fi feed
School fee raise and me yute wah fi read
Import brought up fi mash up di farmer

People ah work hard fi four grand a week
Yute left school nah have nuh job fi seek
Me nuh see nuh factory ah build
But a new prison open last week

[Chorus:]
Poor people

[Verse 2:]
Me granny follow up di system
Dem treat her like garbage

Just to pay off di mortgage
Ghetto yute life don't mean nuttin to dem
Five ah day ah di average
Dem ah work we like slave
Minimum wage ah di bondage(bondage)
Then poverty is such ah heavy load
Wah happen to di people dem weh ah sweep road
Why dem fight rasta man inna di street
And use rasta image pon tourist board
Memba me know di pen is mighty than di sword
Low di taxi man dem cah yuh nah fix di road
