Vybz Kartel - Poor People Land

[Intro]
Me cyaan believe it
Government waan fi move me
Me tun refugee
Inna me owna country
But a long, long time
Me live yah so
Cyaan go noweh
Dem really tek poor people fi fool
Dem really tek poor people fi fool

[Chorus]
Oh, Mister Babylon
A weh you get da system yah from
Bulldozer dung poor people land
Jah know say me nah vote again, no sah
Cah the MP don't give a damn
A weh you get da system yah from
'Bout say me live 'pon squatter land
True, me don't rich like Matalon, no sah
Me a born Jamaican (awoh)

[Verse 1]
Me nah've noweh fi go
Me born and me grow yah so inna the ghetto
Bigger heads, beg you a bly now
Me cyaan buy a house up a Cherry Garden (no way)
Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust
The tribulation inna the ghetto is a must (is a must)
Me never qualify fi no Housing Trust
Cah me lose all a me money inna Cash Plus, but

[Pre-Chorus]
Me know say me a born Jamaican
Me deh yah from slavery as a African
Smaddy tell me weh Matalon come from
Fi own so much land inna we island
Tell me

Cah Jah Jah mek yah fi the black man
From Morant Point to Negril Point
From Saint Thomas to Westmoreland

[Chorus]
Oh, Mister Babylon
A weh you get da system yah from
Bulldozer dung poor people land
Jah know say me nah vote again, no sah
Cah the MP don't give a damn
A weh you get da system yah from
'Bout say me live 'pon squatter land
True, me don't rich like Matalon, no sah
Me a born Jamaican

[Verse 2]
A yah so me pickney born
So dem no know nowhere else
Government care 'bout dem then now
Cah me know you no care fi the parents
Me beg you lease me da piece a land yah
Me nah've no problem fi pay rent
Run come gi' me eviction notice
Fi poor people you nah've no patience

[Pre-Chorus]
Me know say me a born Jamaican
Me deh yah from slavery as a African
Smaddy tell me weh Matalon come from
Fi own so much land inna we island
Tell me
Mr. Chin, go back a Japan
Cah Jah Jah mek yah fi the black man
From Morant Point to Negril Point
From Saint Thomas to Westmoreland

[Chorus]
Oh, Mister Babylon
A weh you get da system yah from
Bulldozer dung poor people land
Jah know say me nah vote again, no sah
Cah the MP don't give a damn
A weh you get da system yah from
'Bout say me live 'pon squatter land
True, me don't rich like Matalon, no sah
Me a born Jamaican

[Outro]
Me cyaan believe it
Government waan fi move me

Inna me owna country
But a long, long time
Me live yah so
Cyaan go noweh
Dem really tek poor people fi fool
Dem really tek poor people fi fool
