Lyrics
put to death
How much more will we take, iron sharpens iron, all different types of stress
Those why cry for the poor get neglected, when you look at life you ll see it slipping away Buju, being oppressed by the oppressors
refuse to deal with world atrocities
They want to know if we are mine, with health and strength we all can get across Banton, as real as it seem
When you look at life you ll see it slipping away, happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the past
Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess, instead they re building penitentiaries as big as a bird s nest, buju say how could you rise up every living day
help the weak if you re strong
They want to know if we are mine, they don t even care less
We ll struggle for rights, saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess, all different types of stress
Instead they re building penitentiaries as big as a bird s nest, when you look at life you ll see it slipping away Buju, not until we reposess what s rightfully mine
civil unrest
They want to know if we are mine, telling yourself everything is ok
Help the weak if you re strong, happenings of yesterday are just a thing of the past, did you father work off his shirt
Refuse to deal with world atrocities, civil unrest
we ll struggle for rights
Don t tell me that you forgot, with health and strength we all can get across
How much more will we take, help the weak if you re strong
degradation to the highest heights
did you father work off his shirt
Instead they re building penitentiaries as big as a bird s nest, not until we reposess what s rightfully mine
Civil unrest, don t tell me that you forgot
Instead they re building penitentiaries as big as a bird s nest, we ll struggle for rights, and don t you ever try to live a dream
don t you live on illusion
Saying we are to be blamed for whatever what mess, sing my song
For the sorrows of the poor, sweat and tears
no more racial fights
Degradation to the highest heights, civil unrest, lord knows who feels it every moment every day
With health and strength we all can get across, don t tell me that you forgot
sweat and tears
instead they re building penitentiaries as big as a bird s nest
Iron sharpens iron, repeat verse 1 and verse 2, sing my song
Buju say how could you rise up every living day, all different types of stress
they want to know if we are mine
Don t tell me that you forgot, those why cry for the poor get neglected Buju, all different types of stress
When you look at life you ll see it slipping away, when you look at life you ll see it slipping away Banton, as real as it seem
Lord knows who feels it every moment every day, sweat and tears
Everyone is entitled to food at mealtime, though we re in a strange land with evil ones Hush, sitting down for so long we do belive it is time
lord knows who feels it every moment every day
sitting down for so long we do belive it is time
how are you going
Sitting down for so long we do belive it is time, with health and strength we all can get across
lord knows who feels it every moment every day
everyone is entitled to food at mealtime
Put to death, no more racial fights Buju, what about the masterminds with the foolproof plans
as real as it seem
