Power to the workers |

Power to the workers |
We need more power |
Power to the workers |

Free zone workers you working hard everyday |
But all the work you do don’t get enough pay |
I mad I still don’t know why I still don’t know why |
Is minimum wage for your sufferation have no more toleration |
Hand to mouth can’t work |
Hand to mouth can’t work |
Hand to mouth business no it can’t work |
School teachers you working hard educatring |
But all the work you do they take you for a play thing |
I mad I still don’t know why I still don’t know why |
Is little bit a pay for your contribution and you mean so much to the nation |
Me say me naah get enough good weh day |
All thema work is like them naah get no pay |
Naah get enough food from weh day |
All the work we work is like we naah get no pay |
Watching everything go up in inflation |
Food price go up and man pay a go down |
Ask some a them |
Them telling short long |
But in a corner we wings and a jam |
Ragga ragga a watch the notion |
Say we naah get no good food from weh day |
Naah sow no good seed from weh day |
Naah sow no good seed from weh day |
Naah get enough food weh day |
Our nurses saving lives everyday |
But all the lives you save you don’t get enough pay |
I mad I still don’t know why |
I still don’t know why |
Is little bit a pay for your life savings |
what a grave they’re digging |
Now our farmers them digging hard every day |
But all the food they grow import them a say |
That make me mad that make me mad mad mad mad |
Mad mad mad mad |
Is little bit a pay for your mama too and |
your sister got to shop for two |
Oh civil servants you working hard everyday and |

Still don’t know why is little bit |

Workers a the backbone a the whole island |
don’t treat them right is total confusion |
Can’t go no doctor for no medication |
School but no teacher no education |
Pay more dollars to the foundation |
Naah get enough pay from weh day musician a suffer but a play |
same way engineer a bawl how him pay too small |
Can’t build him house with no concrete wall |
Bass man a cry bout him can’t get string |
Have the contacts and can’t bring them in raggamuffin dj and sing |
Lord naah get enough good from weh day |
all the talk we talk is like we naah Lord |
Naah get no good yood from weh day |
all the bawl we bawl say them no hear wha we a say |
Watching everything go up in inflation |
Food price go up and man pay a god down |
Some a them |
Them telling short |

Ragga ragga deh pon the version |
Ziggy zaggy a watch the movements |
