I been wondering what they been doing for poor people lately
Question from the General not the Sarg...

When ghetto youth a go rich, eeh?
When friend a go stop switch, eeh?
When weed a go legal, eeh?
Eeh, eeh, eeh?
Weh dem a go do fi poor people, eeh?
The road can hol' so much vehicle, eeh?
Before rich man go a heaven, doa me can use a camel thread a needle, eeh?
Matthew 19:24; Mark 10:25; Luke 18:25

Why Matalon raise taxes, eeh?
We a the Jews, dem a the Nazis, eeh?
Why so much ghetto youth inna board boxes?
Board boxes, board boxes

When ghetto youth a go rich?
That me a cry, but still me no get no reply
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Police dem deploy to the garrison, that a the decoy
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Society so dry eye, no care if we live or we die
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Black man bonafide, a more unity fi I and I

Why we a dead when election, eeh?
Why downtown inna tension, eeh?
Why you no raise granny pension, eeh?
Eeh, eeh, eeh?
Two man nuffi lay dung then, eeh?
Why prison get condom then, eeh?
Why dem blame we fi bill gun song
And don't blame who bill the gun dem, eeh?
When ghetto youth a go wise up, eeh?
You haffi kill a man as you rise up, eeh?
Weh you a go do when a your head size up?
Your head size up, size up

When ghetto youth a go rich?
That me a cry but still me no get no reply
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Police dem deploy to the garrison
That a the decoy
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Society so dry eye, no care if we live or we die
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Black man bonify, a more unity fi I and I

When ghetto youth a go rich?
That me a cry, but still me no get no reply
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Police dem deploy to the garrison, that a the decoy
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Society so dry eye, no care if we live or we die
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Black man bonafide, a more unity fi I and I

When ghetto youth a go rich?
That me a cry, but still me no get no reply
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Police dem deploy to the garrison, that a the decoy
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Society so dry eye, no care if we live or we die
When ghetto youth a go rich?
Black man bonafide, a more unity fi I and I

(..)

Why dem blame we fi bill gun song...
And don't blame who bill the gun dem?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do?
Weh you a go do when a your head size up?
Your head size up!
