Tell me where you get it!
Hey rich man, won't you please give up?
Tell me where you get it!
The river of gold, is flowing in Ethiopia
My fore mothers and fathers too
They're sons and daughters of the same side
Putting them, you drive them away
Them no have it fi gi' me
Tell me now, hey rich man
Tell me where you get it!
How come you store basket so full, and mine
Tell me where you get it! Hey
Jacob upstairs, he's having a rest
Jacob upstairs, while, he's a on a tell-I (seller?)
Tell me now, won't you drop an' give the poor a rest
Tell me where you get it!
Took, took and give the poor some food
Tell me where you get it!
(..)
Jacob upstairs, he's having a rest
Jacob upstairs, while, he's a on a tell-I (seller?)
Tell me now, is that really fair?
Tell me where you get it!
Rastafari investigating this condition
Tell me where you get it!
Draw up some more and give the poor a chance
Tell me where you get it!
Sister Mary, poor thing deh 'pon poor list
Then all them big meat that you throw to your dog
Matthew 15:26-27
Tell me where you get it!
Poor thing Sister Mary she, have nothing to eat
All she have got to eat as I defended (?)
Burglar through the night now
Tell me now, hey rich man
Tell me where you get it!
Get up, get up and turn and do good, woohooo
Tell me where you get it!
Jah send I as messenger to warn you
Tell me where you get it!
Jacob upstairs, he's having a rest (look into it)
Jacob upstairs, while, he's a on a tell-I (?)
Tell me now, rich man won't you please give up
Tell me where you get it!
Dop the dop, gidi bop dop now
Tell me where you get it!
A while you hear this that you're belly full (?)
Tell me where you get it!
Ease up in that womb
And give her a chance in the bathroom
Tell me where you get it!
Some have to sleep all night through while their bed so soft
Tell me where you get it!
Some dependent while some independent
Tell me where you get it!
