Cry Cry Blood |
A who the hell do they think I am? |
A give me food from dem pot bottom |
A give me scrap from their table |
I man no desperate or disable |
In dis ya land we live where dog eat dog |
And some a dem just a gwaan like hog |
A simple ting fe mek jump and bark |
A gravalicious like a harbour shark |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood |
For my people, yeah! |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood |
Eh! |
There’s just one thing I can’t overstand |
What mek we love fe kill we own black man |
Me feel so shame, me have run and hide |
Me call it self-inflicted genocide |
Me step aside and hav fe weep and moan |
I feel the pressure right inside my bones |
I man back against the wall |
Woo, I hold my head and bawl |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood |
For my people, yeah! |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry!) |
For my People Yeah, My People |
For my People Yeah, My People |
For my People Yeah! |
Nyahbinghi Bobo Shanty I |
In a dispute I says I don’t know why |
Be careful of the flag now |
Don’t put the lion on its back now |
A dis ya plan to divide and rule |
In a the end a we the people lose |
So many martyrs try to put things right |
Oh no I and I won’t give the fight |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood |
For my people, yeah! |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Got to Cry Blood) |
Cry blood, (Cry Blood) I got to cry blood (Cry!) |
For my People Yeah, My People |
For my People Yeah, My People |
For my People Yeah! |
When we gonna wake up? |
Yes, we need a shake up |
Let us kiss and make up |
Or bare witness to this break up |
The whole world’s taking advantage |
While we stand aside and look |
It was prophesied we’d rise again |
Just take a second look |
A cry, cry blood, yeah |
Cry blood, cry blood (Cry Blood) |
For my people, yeah, yeah |
My people, people |
My people |
