People live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all them a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you shouldAnd I know all the things you hide
Even though it's a good disguise
And I see all the things you do
But what you do will comeback on you
You think we can't fight what the eyes can't see
Because we are blinded by povertyPeople live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you shouldPeople live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you shouldIt's like the people you want them to rebel
And fire gunshots and burn buildings to hell
And after that you a go want treat me well
It's like you have the people under a spell
Talking to the people in a congress
A we vote you in, so you must put out your best
After all we no in a contest
It's the state of the union addressPeople live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you shouldPeople live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you shouldBroadcasting lies on the television sreen
Trying to get us hooked on your American dream
We up on your games if you know wha me mean
When you cheated on your wife with your money and your schemes
People rule and a that you fi follow
We and nuh no call me no nigga
Do a good term and you deserve another
Signed musically yours, the general sleepywonderPeople live in misery
Govemment a work
But govemment them is a mockery
Respect to the youths
Whether in front and all dem a back a me
Why don't you treat them the way you should
