Working Poor

The stone that the builder refuse
The stone that the builder refuse
The stone that the builder refuse
Shall be the head cornerstone ah the progress
Now listen up

Da one ya goes to the weak (Anh!)
No one hear when him speak (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Lift up your head and be free
Da one ya goes to the poor (Anh!)
Knocking pon a locked door (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Fight and you will receive

Three jobs a day Jo still sleep ina him car
Him deh pon the road beg fi buy a sim card
Work him ah work hard never get enough
Money ina di bank fi pay a rent and live up
Three jobs a day yet Jo no have no bed
Him have no shelter sometimes not even bread
Work him ah work but no save up no cash
Failures dem so hard fi blow past
More poverty inequalities dem grow so fast
Bankers ina dem fancy suit act like dem have no heart
Pressurize whole economy fi keep dem dodgy low price
Cyaan never play with thousands lives just like yuh roll dice
Ina the slum future no look no bright for the man dem upright
Snakes and cobras dem have no scruples nor doubts
Nuff ah dem no have no chicken nor rice fi fill up the pot
The system so hard small ah di reward lucky ones dem ina di floodlight

Da one ya goes to the weak (Anh!)
No one hear when him speak (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Lift up your head and be free
Da one ya goes to the poor (Anh!)
Knocking pon a locked door (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Fight and you will receive

Long is the night for the people dem weh sleeping ina hopelessness
Long is the fight for the people dem weh living ina hopelessness
The stone that the builder refuse shall be the head cornerstone
Ah the progress
The stone that the builder refuse shall be the head cornerstone
Ah the progress

Da one ya goes to the weak (Anh!)
No one hear when him speak (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Lift up your head and be free
Da one ya goes to the poor (Anh!)
Knocking pon a locked door (Anh!)
Da one ya goes to the needy
Fight and you will receive

The stone that the builder refuse
The stone that the builder refuse
The stone that the builder refuse
The stone that the builder refuse
