Lyrics by Yeyo Pérez

We know tings inna we life dem nah mek nuh surprise poor man a go dead while di rich man survive dem a cry... di sun inna di deh an di moon inna di night noting new a happen noting new inna di yard dem a cry...

dem paralize unuh mind wid dem bad seeds dem a already plant inna yo brain
dem watta dem wid dem lies full of ignorace more missinformation everydeh

nah mek dem grow, dem put dem roots inna yo heart dem put dem venom inna inside
suh yuh betta know, open yo eyez an realize a whatta gwaan, hey yuh betta realize watta gwan yah, how di ting gwaan ovah deh suh. Well...

We know tings inna we life dem nah mek nuh surprise poor man a go dead while di rich man survive dem a cry... di sun inna di deh an di moon inna di night noting new a happen noting new inna di yard dem a cry...

Di leaders a di government nah shout dem mouth, man inna di ghetto must survive by dem own
Sum a dem a hussle, nuff a dem nah get a job, everydeh di system put di poor people down, dat why mi seh

Nuh matta where yuh from dis is not about your size or di colour of your eyez no
All ovah di world deh a lack of equal rights an rightousness a suh mi sing
First we must unite cause all a dem a work fi keep di human race divide
All di politishans dem nah cyare bout owa rights dem a cheat yuh wid dem lies situation nah go change overnight an suh we know
Tings inna we life dem nah mek nuh surprise poor man a go dead while di rich man survive
Dem a cry... di sun inna di deh an di moon inna di night noting new a happen noting new inna
Di yard dem a cry...
