Lyrics:
Earth, what a sufferation, yeah, sufferer.
I would rather live my life as a poor man,
Than to live inna corruption,
From when me born me grow in sufferation,
A poverty don’t no, no complextion,
Inna the ghetto it’s the same situation,
Dog a eat dog so you can’t trust no-one,
Informer them a gather information,
Put a next man me seh down inna detention.
Vicious, boom sound.
A this is a chant of a poor man,
This is a chant of a poor man,
Me holla rise up, face the enemy,
Show dem we solid, an’ we ready,
Rise up face the enemy,
Solid as a rock an you know seh we ready,
It is the time that you know we have to fight,
We have to stand up and deal with them right,
It is the time that you know we have to fight,
We have to stand up and deal with them right.
And this is a chant of a poor man.
This is a chant of a poor man.
Roughouse, watch this, well alright.
Jus’ warming in man, selector, do
