Lyrics
Why is it dat di system mek some decisions weh nuh benefit di people? It only show selfishness and deceit What about di less fortunate? What about those who have no helping hand? Patriotz System nuh cyar fi di poor an' mi see it Yeah, mi see di strong, dem a prey pon di weak How could I turn di other cheek When people still cyaan find food fi eat? Government nuh cyar fi see people a lose But have yuh ever tink stepping inna dem shoes? Imagine cyaan provide nothin' fi yuh yute Thеse days start show wi di truth Seh di system all fi dеm self, yeah Poor man nuh get nuh help, yeah They talk, but there is no action Strictly empty promises Our leaders need to be led, yeah Hungry need to be fed, yeah They talk, but there is no action Strictly empty promises (Yeah), yo, Bing Anuh like seh mi waan depend pon nobody Mi try look a work but there's none for mi Mi nuh grow wid a rich mummy or daddy An' mi have mi own family weh a depend pon mi Depression start a pick mi mentally Sometime mi feel fi hurt miself physically Of thoughts of killing, thoughts of robbery But mi nuh waan do dat, a end of story Cah mi have more fi lose dan fi gain What 'bout mi son weh carry mi last name? And if mi nah dead fi di world change Dat means seh mi a dead in vain Cah dis is for generations to come Dem cyaan enslave yuh when yuh have wisdom Bun dem indoctrination Dem waan fi see people go dung Seh di system all fi dem self, yeah Poor man nuh get nuh help, yeah They talk, but there is no action Strictly empty promises Our leaders need to be led, yeah Hungry need to be fed, yeah They talk, but there is no action Strictly empty promises Dem a try tek wi freedom While wi have a mind of our own, yeah Your mind shall free you But wi nuh born as nuh slave (Nuh slave) Oh, we were born to give thanks unto di Maker Evilous men could neva outdo di Creator System, yuh doom Yuh doom, yuh doom System, yuh doom Yuh doom, yuh doom Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
