Sufferer Lyrics


Huh, leaders listen to these words I'm utterin'
Firmly, I ain't stutterin'
Look around can't you see my people sufferin'
The future is weak and it's gutterin', wellBorn as a sufferer, grew up as a sufferer
Struggle as a sufferer, mek it as a sufferer
Fight as a sufferer, survive as a sufferer
Yutes inna di ghetto, well, di most a dem a suffererNuff a mob police to clear dem rights true dem a sufferer
Innocent da one yah deh fi tek care a di sufferer
Eat as a sufferer, di pressure really sufferer
Mi a tell yuh mi a prime minister fah di suffererWho know we nuh parliament give somethin' to da sufferer
Who nuh wait a government provide fah di sufferer
Food fah di sufferer, shelter fah di sufferer
Get some better schools intelligence a fah di suffererPoliticians get gi guns and give it to da sufferer
Sufferer go get di gun and shoot anotha sufferer
Who full up di prison yuh nuh see a pure sufferer
Who full up a dozen hospital a pure suffererMama she a sufferer, papa he a sufferer
Caan mek mi children grow up tun suffererAlmost sorry, I'm sad to say, you can't stop me, not today
I've been workin' to get my pay, my pay, my pay, my pay someway

So sorry, I'm sad to say, you can't stop me, not today
I've been workin' to get my pay, my pay, my pay, my payElevate di pirate and di eagle dem a sufferer
