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 make ten

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

Marcus Garvey say "If it's even a in a chete..."
