Racial Injustice |
| Oh when I wake up in the morning |
| There is no breakfast on my table |
| When I reach home in the evening |
| There is no dinner on my table |
| How many rivers do we have to cross, / Before we can talk to the boss? |
| So dem a loot and a shoot and a wailing |
| Racial war in the city, now it’s burning |
| So long poor people crying out to you. |
| / You never give a listening ear |
| So long poor people reaching out to you. |
| / You never seem to really mm |
| In your land of plenty, so many poor |
| Homeless and hungry |
| So many die on the frontline |
| So long we slaved on the homeline |
| So them a root with the truth and them saying |
| Racial war failing tonight |
| So much promises, so much lies. |
| / Bring more tears to their eyes |
| So much being said, a little been done |
| So many crying when there’s so much fun |
| How long will you reap off their labor? |
| Keep them so poor in great hunger |
| How can you sit there and say you care? |
| When so much pain and sorrows everywhere |
| Champagne and caviar time |
| You don’t care if Jah come in the morning |
| So you treat Jah children like swine |
| And you don’t take heed to Jah warning |
| Racial injustice in the city, yeah |
| And I yah tell you, it’s not pretty now |
| Poor people in the struggle. |
| / Pressure is rising on the double |
| Tell you it’s bad, bad, bad. |
| / Tell you it’s mad. |
| The people sad |
| So we’re trying. |
| Ain’t nothing working |
| So we’re crying. |
| The children are dying |
| It’s getting worse. |
| From worse to worse |
