Peter Tosh - Dem Ha Fe Get A Beatin

Due to unfavourable financial conditions,
I am unable to cope with this financial shituation,
It's causing an inflation upon creation.

I can't stand this no longer,
The wicked get stronger.
I can't stand this no longer,
'Cause the battle is gettin' hotter.

But dem ha fe get a beatin',
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'.
Dem mus get a beatin',
The wicked ha fe get a beatin'.

Now that you waited,
Till your back is against the wall.
One step, to progress, my brother,
And I know Jah will help you all.

Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord.
Dem mus get a beatin', yeah.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', I say,
And dem can't get away.

I can't stand this no longer,
The wicked get stronger.
I can't stand this no longer,
'Cause even cockroach get nuffer.

Dem ha fe get a beatin', yeah.
Dem mus get a beatin', Lord.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', yeah.
Dem mus get a beatin'.

Tell me how long,
Must the good suffer for the bad?
And every time the good open his mouth,
The bad say: "You must be mad!".

Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord,
Dem mus get a beatin', yeah.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord,
And dem can't get away, yeah.

I can't stand this no longer.
(Dem mus get a beatin')
(Dem ha fe get a beatin')
(Dem mus get a beatin')

Now that you waited so long,
Till your back is against the wall.
If you make one step to progress,
I know Jah will help you all.

Dem ha fe get a beatin', yeah.
Dem mus get a beatin', Lord.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', brother,
Dem can't get away.

I can't stand this no longer,
The wicked get so strong.
I can't stand this no longer,
Every thing seem to be wrong.

Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord.
Dem mus get a beatin', hear me.
Dem ha fe get a beatin', Lord,
Dem can't get away, yeah.

(Dem ha fe get a beatin')
Dem mus get a beatin'.
They've been reigning too long,
It has been 400 long years, and,
And I just can't get on.
Dem ha fe get a beatin'.
Dem mus get a beatin'..
