Lyrics Poor and Clean - Gregory Isaacs

Poor and Clean

So many years I’ve been slaving in your factory
Never had a chance to talk with the boss
And for so long I’ve been living in this old community
Where no one knew my pain yet I’ve paid the cost
No one knew my pain lord yet I’ve paid the cost
But I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I said that I’ve I’ve got to live clean
Cause Jah has got to pass down judgement
Said I wanna be clean
Can’t you see what I mean?
Wanna be strong
All day long
I would rather to live poor and clean
Than to live rich in corruption
I wanna be clean
Can’t you see what I mean?
A rich man’s heaven is a poor man’s hell
