Lyrics Share the Riches - Culture

Share the Riches

Boy, as far as I see life, food nah sweet a one man mouth.
And this thing haffe share.
Otherwise a death!
I want to share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Rich man, share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you (Tek warning!)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Man, share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
First you must remember:
Children got to go to school
Second, you got to know:
We need education
Third, you got to know:
We nuh want to eat and leff
Fourth, you got to know:
The people are no second choice
(Let me let you man)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
(Mr. Rich Man)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you (now)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
You got to remember
Tivoli need to be quiet
Concrete Jungle
Brown’s Pen, too
Down in a Dunkirk
They nuh give respect to the poor
How 'bout the people rebel?
And all y’all you start to sell (but mi a warn you)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you (time too tough)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Mr Rich Man
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Mi nuh want no war pon dem down inna de ghettos you know, boss
Ya a hear me man?
The people who are less fortunate boss you a pressure
them for time after time
Ya a hear me man.
I said fe listen
First, you must remember:
Prison door wide open
Nine men gone in, and we no want fe ma beaten
(So me a beg you)
Share the riches with the poor
Before we share the poverty with you
Mr. Rich Man
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
(Come on and)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
For many days I have seen
Desperation walking in arm to arm
Shoulder to shoulder and fighting back the willing man
(So me a beg you boss)
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
Share the riches with the poor
Before they share the poverty with you
