Mama, what do you want
When trouble sleep, yan ga go wake em
What do you want
When cat sleep, rat go bite him tail
What he go find
Trouble, he de find
Ted had lost his job, he sits down in house
Oooh, he dream of food
Landlord come wake him up
He said, mister, pay me your rent
What he go find
Trouble, he de find
A lover, him go get yo
My friend's just come from prison
(Wake up, wake up)
They all look for work
(Wake up, wake up)
Walk all walk all day and night
(Wake up, Wake up)
Policeman stop them in the road
(Wake up, Wake up)
He say, I charge you for wandering
What he go find
We were 50, 000 strong
(Wake up, wake up (continues))
Marched into the street
Throw them British out
It's our country now
It's our country now
It's our country now
We're living on our own(?)
That's why, we be fight
Our people all rejoice
Shall no more colony
But general live like king
While there's no work, no food to eat
Our children starve in the street
All we go find... is trouble
A lover
We go get
A lover
Fought my whole life through
A difference to make
Fight a fight all day and night
A burnt whole worlds to create(?)
Because our cause is right
Even if we find... trouble
He go get
Palapa, trouble he go get yo
Trouble, he go get
A lover
When cat sleep, rat go bite him tail
Wait till he de find
What happens, when the cat wakes up
What happens then
What happens then...
