How Do You Sleep
Hello mister Holness
And Mrs P
I know you are the leaders of Jamaica
Come on and talk to me
How do you feel when you see the hopeless run the street?
Who do you pray for nightly for his needs
Tell me when you look in the ghetto
Are you proud?
How do you sleep when the rest of us rise
How do you feel when the mother have no hope to give her child
How do you work wid your head held high?
You cant even look me in my eyes
What do you know about hard work?
Doing four jobs and never get raise a pay
Let me tell you bout hard work
Working on the form until you old and grey
Let me tell you bout hard work
Try fi get back your house after bank tek it away
Let me tell you bout hard work
Politician nuh know hard work
How do you sleep when the rest of us rise
How do you feel when the mother have no hope to give her child
How do you work wid your head held high?
You can't even look me in my eyes
Beautiful Jamaica
The land of wood and water
This island is so bless
But every leaders wi get in a wi country
Turn out to be
Marcus Garvey did tell wi
And now dem spit pon Marcus Garvey grave
That's why mi talking to mister intellect
The big guys weh sit down up in a the cabinet
Now this is a letter coming from utech
Think next time before you read the budget
How do you sleep when the rest of us rise
How do you feel when the mother have no hope to give her child
How do you work wid your head held high?
You cant even look me in my eyes
How do you sleep when the rest of us rise
How do you feel when the mother have no hope to give her child
How do you work wid your head held high?
You cant even look me in my eyes
And Mrs P
I know you are the leaders of Jamaica
Come on and talk to me
How do you feel when you see the hopeless run the street?
Who do you pray for nightly for his needs
Tell me when you look in the ghetto
Are you proud?

How do you feel when the mother have no hope to give her child
How do you work wid your head held high?
