Intro
So many people are hungry ay ay
So many are homeless
Life is filled with poverty ay ay
Fi di poor dem careless
So wi a rise and shine And wi nah give up
Black people a move forward
Wi a rise and shine And a hold wi head up
Stand up strong although the Gideon ruff yow
Verse
Dem wah wi feel down and depressed
To watch wi suffer yow to dem dat interested
Disease full up ina di place di whole world infested
Di poor nah nuh money so a dem get infected yow
Yuh nuh see say dem wah wi fi dead
A pure juveniles a bust copper and lead
Nowadays coffin and guns sell like hot bread
A judgment a go gwan when di fire get red
Anti christ Mr evil wicked man
Change up yuh folly grounds abolish all evil plan
White collar criminals rob di poor couple gran
A police a go prison now fi extortion
Dem try fi keep wi dung from every angle
Badmind politicians a some dutty bungle
So man from Albion Standpipe and Jungle
A straight sufferer da song yah goes out to.
Chorus
One day it will be better for we
Work haad nutten nuh really come free
So when a ghetto youth rise Unu fi glad fi see
From rags to riches a just prosperity. (Rept)
Verse
Dem have di people like goat on a short piece a rope
Every minute as yuh quite so the price range go up
All two bills now fi a likkle bath soap
Like car fisherman all pay tax fi him boat yow
If yuh drunk dis mek yuh sober
Look how long Markie a try fi buy a Honda
And all now Kingman nuh own a Toyota

Wi a work till wi mash up ina di sun head get gray
It nuh matter wah wi nah stop fast and pray
Wi wuk so haad just fi a likkle bit a pay
And it still cya do nutten a di end a di day.
Chorus
One day it will be better for we
Work haad nutten nuh really come free
So when a ghetto youth rise Unu fi glad fi see
From rags to riches a just prosperity. (Rept)
Oh ooh a fully revvv enuh
